Energy efficiency of a 3-level shunt active power filter powered by a fuel-cell / battery DC bus with regulated duty cycles

Introduction. Nowadays, electrical energy is indispensable in industrial, tertiary and domestic appliances. However, its efficiency is becoming affected by the presence of the disturbances that appear in the electrical networks such as harmonics, unbalance, sags/swells, flickers …etc. Indeed, the di...
