    Improving passive filter compensation performance with active techniques
    (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2003) Rivas, D; Moran, L; Dixon, JW; Espinoza, JR
    This paper presents the performance analysis of a hybrid filter composed of passive and active filters connected in series. The analysis is done by evaluating the influence of passive filter parameters variations and the effects that different active power filter's gain have in the compensation performance of the hybrid scheme. The compensation performance is quantified by evaluating the attenuation factor in a power distribution system energizing high-power nonlinear loads compensated with passive filters and then improved with the connection of a series active power filter. Finally, compensation characteristics of the hybrid topology are tested on a 10-kVA experimental setup.
