Abstract

Currentlyextensive use of power electronic devices has made power management smart, flexibleand efficient. But the increase in number of power electronic devices has also led to increase in distortion and power pollution in the distribution networks.This is due to injection of current and voltage harmonics into the networks which leads to reduction of power factor and negative impact on electrical equipment. So the need of power factor improvement along with the reduction in Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) has now gained prime importance.
