Abstract :
An idea of using an existing device in a given topology to eliminate or lower current harmonics in a microturbine unit is presented. To implement this idea, no hardware changes are required. The benefits for the high-speed generator are tremendous and allow simplification of its design, which is crucial for such systems. The article provides general information about microturbines, a detailed description of the idea and simulation and measurement results.
