dc.description.abstract | Development of electrical technology, especially converters technology, has made significant change inthe
characteristics of electrical power systems. Moreover, the need of converting electrical signal from pure sine
to distorted sine from renewable energy based generators makes the use of converter technology increase.
Currently, the use of renewable energy based power plants together with traditional generators has become
commonplace, commonly known as microgrid systems. This is intended to improve efficiency, reduce
environmental pollution, and preserve nature. Microgrid systems have a very positive impact on the electric
power system. However, microgrids also cause negative impacts such as harmonics. This research is
developing active filter based on Neural Network concept. Neural Network is used as control strategies to
produce signals opposite harmonic signals. The simulation results show that the active filter based on neural
network can reduce the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in microgrid systems effectively. | en_US |
