Abstract

Energy efficiency is an important dimension of the concept of sustainable development. In electricity, the energy efficiency is tightly connected with the power quality, which is function of harmonic composition, power factor, voltage stability and the balance of the 3 phases. Active power filters (APF) is a modern solution to improve the power quality. This paper presents an overview of the active and hybrid power filter topologies for various applications, and a software application called "P-tool", which is capable to recommend the APF topology to use in specific, user defined, conditions.
