Design of an active power filter using genetic algorithm technique

This paper deals with the active power filter design controlled by using hysteresis technique. The genetic algorithm is used to design the controllers to minimize the %THD of the source current. The results are compared with that designed from Ingram and Round approach. The simulation results confirm that the genetic algorithm can provide the minimum %THD of the source current compared with the Ingram and Round method. The %THD also follows the IEEE std.519-1992.The design of the active power filter based on the genetic algorithm is flexible and can improve the performance of the filter.
