Abstract

This article presents 22 configurations of power filters for the harmonic compensation of nonlinear loads. Some of these configurations are novel and result from the newly discovered characteristics of nonlinear loads and circuitry duality, while the others are well known and used in practice. Nonlinear loads can be characterized into two types of harmonic sources: current-source nonlinear loads and voltage-source nonlinear loads. These two types of harmonic sources have completely distinctive and dual properties and characteristics. Based on their properties and characteristics, the current-source nonlinear loads and voltage-source nonlinear loads have their own suitable filter configurations, respectively
