This book, Instantaneous Power Theory and Applications to Power Conditioning, presents a deep review of various power theories, and shows how the instantaneous active and reactive power theory provides an important basic knowledge for understanding and designing active filters for power conditioning. These filters are very important to mitigate harmonic pollution due to the widely used nonlinear loads both in home appliances and in industry. The only book of its kind, Instantaneous Power Theory and Applications to Power Conditioning also demonstrates how the instantaneous active and reactive power theory can be used for combined shunt-series filters and in Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS).

Written by leading experts in this groundbreaking technology, Instantaneous Power Theory and Applications to Power Conditioning features coverage of:

• Shunt active filters with different filter structures
• Series active filters, including hybrid configurations of active and passive filters
• Combined series and shunt power conditioners, including the unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) and the unified power flow controller (UPFC)
