Feeding loads via harmonics utilization in AC circuit systems

Abstract

This article offers an easy way to take advantage of harmonics current by using passive filter and utilization circuit. The proposed circuit contributes in reduction the total harmonic distortion (THD) and draw harmonics current via using low pass filter (LPF) and then create a useful and sinusoidal power by rectifying the distorted current via full wave bridge rectifier (convert it to DC current) and reconvert it to AC sinusoidal current by using single phase inverter controlled by PWM circuit in order to feed different loads. The circuit has been designed and simulated in the MATLAB-Simulink program.
