Implementation of half-bridge active power filter using fuzzy logic control / Ahmad Faridz Abd Ghafar

In this work, a single-phase half-bridge topology employing the commonly used hysterisis current control loop complemented with fuzzy logic based voltage control loop is proposed for use in single-phase parallel active power filter (APF). This is connected in parallel with a typical non-linear load...
