Abstract

In this paper, global optimality of the recently developed Optimal and Flexible Control (OFC) based Active Power Filters (APFs) is investigated and verified by means of Genetic Algorithms (GA). In particular, one of the well examined and suitable compensation strategies, that is the strategy maximizing the load power factor subject to some constraints on harmonics and unbalance currents, is taken into consideration. The GA optimization method acknowledges the global optimality of the previously published results.
