The smart grid, regarded as the next-generation power grid, is considered as a promising solution for energy crisis. Since smart grid is interconnected with different grids, the development of smart grid brings many new challenges for power quality. Power quality compensators are one of the key technologies for power quality improvement in smart grids. Undoubtedly, lower cost, lower loss, wider compensation range, and better performance will be the development trends and goals for power quality compensators in the coming decades. Among different current quality compensators, the state-of-the-art hybrid active power filters (HAPFs) possess high potential to be further developed due to the desired characteristics of lower cost, lower loss, higher reliability, and better performance. As a result, gaining the knowledge of state-of-the-art design and control techniques of HAPFs is important and useful for students, researchers, and engineers.

In this book, the different state-of-the-art power quality compensators are mainly focused on. The content starts by comprehensively reviewing the power quality issues in Chap. draws the conclusions and perspectives for future works. In addition, the system analysis, design, and control techniques presented in this book can be extendable to other power quality compensators, such as static var compensators (SVCs), active power filters (APFs), static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs), etc.

This book is intended for undergraduates, postgraduates, doctorates, or professionals with power electronics background. The book can also be useful to fellow researchers and electrical power engineers who are specializing in power quality issues, power electronics, power filters, and control techniques. After reading this book, the readers can gain understanding of the state-of-the-art techniques of inverter design, pulse width modulation (PWM), compensation methods, control methods, hardware design, etc.

The research works presented in this book were carried out in the Power Electronics Laboratory/Electric Power Engineering Laboratory, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), and State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI, University of Macau (UM), Macao, China. We would like to express our gratitude to the Science and Technology Development Fund, Macao SAR (FDCT) with project codes: 109/2013/A3, 015/2008/A1, 025/2017/A1, and Research Committee (RC) of University of Macau (UM) with project codes: MRG012/WMC/2015/FST, MYRG2015-00009-FST, MYRG2017-00038-FST, MYRG2015-00030-AMSV, and MYRG2017-00090-AMSV.
