Performance improvement of simplified synchronous generators using an active power filter (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Abu-Jalala, A., Cox, T., Gerada, C., & Rashed, M. (2017). Performance improvement of simplified synchronous generators using an active power filter.

Active power filters (APF) are used to improve power quality and are commonly connected in parallel with the load at the point of common coupling (PCC). They are used to compensate for harmonics from nonlinear loads, for reactive power compensation a...
