Optimizing broadband harmonic filter design for adjustable speed drive systems

A novel design method of the improved broadband harmonic filter for diode rectifier type adjustable speed drives using genetic algorithm is presented. The design yields high input and output power quality while reducing the filter size, cost and avoiding resonance problems. Results are illustrated using computer simulations and laboratory experiments.
