Advanced Controllers Design for Hybrid Active Power Filters

The book focuses on different advanced current control strategies of LC-coupling hybrid active power filter (LC-HAPF) and Thyristor controlled LC-coupling hybrid active power filter (TCLC-HAPF). Both topologies and their corresponding advanced current control strategies are introduced, with more weight placed on the current control strategies. A total of 9 advanced current control strategies are studied in details for both LC-HAPF and TCLC-HAPF. The comprehensive and systematic treatment of advanced current controller design is one of the major features of the book, which is particularly suitable for readers who are interested in learning the design and implementation of current controller design for HAPFs. The book can benefit researchers, engineers, undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering, power electronics, control strategy, etc.
