The proliferation of power-electronic-based modern residential loads can produce excessive voltage and current waveform distortions in residential power distribution systems. With their unique advantages such as flexible control and dynamic compensation over traditional passive power filters (PPFs), active power filters (APFs) have become one of the most effective means to suppress harmonics and eliminate distortion in modern distribution systems. The existing application of distributed APFs has been limited to the installations in the primary feeder and all the design issues were not considered. In this thesis, a Micro-APF scheme is proposed to address the harmonic mitigation for residential systems. Unlike the traditional MV APFs, this novel LV distributed APF can be installed at the secondary side of service transformers or even at one of the customers’ houses. This thesis mainly discusses some design issues for the proposed Micro-APF.
