Abstract

In present years, the increasing use of power electronic based nonlinear devices in various power system applications causes harmonic distortions in source side voltages and currents. The unwanted harmonic distortion can introduce detrimental effects on electrical equipment and temperature increases in neutral conductors and distribution transformers. In this paper, a new optimization method of Meta-heuristic firefly algorithm is proposed for the optimal design of passive harmonic filters to mitigate the harmonics existing in the power system environment. The performance of the proposed firefly algorithm based passive filter evidences better result compared with the other algorithm based methods.
