Converter simultaneously as active front end and as active filter

In this paper the mathematical and simulation model of a Front End Converter with Active Filter capabilities is presented. The presented Front End acts as a power deliver to the local load and also as a power quality conditioner in order to compensate harmonic currents as well as reactive power generated by neighboring drives. In order to perform this task, a control strategy is elaborated and presented. Simulation using Matlab Simulink platform are performed and presented.
