Abstract
Poor quality of electric supply is normally caused by power line disturbances such as transients, notches, momentary interruptions, voltage sag and swell, over-voltage, under-voltages and harmonic distortions. Filters are used for improving the power quality. Active and Passive filters eliminate major fluctuating factors. Hybrid filters are the combination of active and passive filters. Conventional Active Filtering using PLL also reduces the harmonics. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) can be reduced by implementing combination of active and passive filters. To design a hybrid power filter to reduce the harmonics for enhancing the quality of power. Also compare various topologies of filters to evaluate the best filter for power quality enhancement using MATLAB.
