Analysis of active filter behaviour by means of modified z-transform method

A calculus procedure is suggested based on integral transformations for obtaining a solution in a closed analytical form of the nonlinear mathematical model of active filters. The analytical solution expresses the reactive power and harmonic compensation of active filters as functions of filter parameters. Therefore this solution can be successfully used for obtaining design guidelines. The theoretical procedure is completed by a numerical analysis.
