Harmonic Control Based on Fuzzy Logic

Proliferation of nonlinear loads in power systems has increased harmonic pollution and deteriorated power quality. Passive filtering has typically been the standard technology for harmonic and reactive power compensation .With the advancements in power electronics, active filtering is being more widely considered given its flexibility and precise control. However, cost, complexity, and reliability are considered the major drawbacks of active filters. In this paper a new fuzzy logic is introduced to control the harmonic in the power system, which has more advantages such as simplicity, ease of application, flexibility, speed and ability to deal with imprecision and uncertainties .The introduction of fuzzy logic can not only reduce harmonic,but also correct the power factor.
