Design and Control of Active Power Filters towards the Decarbonisation of Smart Grid Networks helps readers optimize grid stability and power quality using active power filters in transitioning decarbonized power systems moving from high voltage to low voltage distributed smart networks. The work opens with an extensive foundation in grid stability and power quality optimization, but then goes on to discuss advanced design, control, integration and placement considerations for APFs for smart grids with high penetration of VRE and EV. Integration topologies and the placement of APFs in these VRE integrated networks are also discussed.
Finally, applied solutions on design, control and integration of APFs in microgrid networks are presented before parallel operation and distributed design and control issues are reviewed. Numerous case studies support the work, and an expansive discussion of future trends for APFs in smart grids rounds out the content.
- Explores advanced design and dynamic control strategies of active power filters (APFs) in different smart grid networks in the presence of highly penetrated variable renewable energies (VRE) and Electric Vehicles (EV)
- Reviews the design and control of Multi-functional/Multi-level/Multi-modular/Parallel operation of APFs for grid stability and power quality improvement in LV/MV/HV networks
- Assesses different integration and placement methods of APFs in grid connected or off-grid microgrid networks
- Discusses real life demonstration examples of APFs, network analysis and loss minimization, techno-economic analysis, business case scenarios
- Presented detailed simulation models and implementations in MATLAB
