Optimal design of c-type passive filters based on response surface methodology for typical industrial power systems

Abstract

In this article, a response surface methodology based approach is proposed for the optimal design of C-type passive filters that can be employed in typical industrial power systems. The purpose of the optimization process is to minimize voltage and current total harmonic distortions. According to IEEE Standard 519-1992, both indices and displacement power factor are handled as constraints for the optimal filter design problem. To show the validity of the proposed approach, numerical results are presented.
