Optimal design of passive power filters using genetic algorithm

Recent advances in the field of power electronic technology and growing and wide-spread uses of nonlinear loads are responsible for the generation of the harmonics in the power system; this significantly degrades the power quality. One of the most common methods to reduce harmonic distortion is to u...
