A multi-objective approach to optimal placement and sizing of multiple active power filters using a music-inspired algorithm
A new multi-objective method based on THD, HTLL, MLLF, and total APFs currents to eliminate harmonic distortion in the electrical distribution network is taken into account. The flexibility of the proposed approach improves by using multiple active power filters (M-APFs) in the PLAS process. Due to existing harmonic pollution at high levels and low rating current of an APF; therefore, an APF cannot improve power quality as acceptable level. A new modified optimization algorithm is utilized to overcome the difficulties in solving the mixed-integer non-linear nature of the PLAS problem and determine the optimal final solution.
