Reduction of harmonic using PSO technique for grid connected photovoltaic system

The use of photovoltaic (PV) system as an alternative energy technology for supplying clean energy become popular nowadays due to the reduction of investment capital cost. However, harmonic produced by the inverter of the PV system has led to power quality issue in the power grid. Therefore, it is h...
