Definition of Harmonic

Due to the existence of the nonlinear load, the current and voltage waveforms in the power grid will be distorted to non-sinusoidal wave. Through the decomposition of the non-sinusoidal wave by Fourier series, the component whose frequency is the same as the power frequency is called fundamental wave. The component whose frequency is greater than the power frequency is called harmonics.

Fundamental Principle

The active power filter (APF) is connected with the power grid in parallel, adopting the PWM conversion technology to produce the current equal but opposite to the harmonics by conducting the real-time detetion of the laden harmonics and reactive component, which will be distilled into the power supply and distribution system, thus realizing the function of restraining the harmonics and reactive dynanmic compensation.
