Active power filters (APFs) are integral in mitigating power quality issues, specifically harmonic distortions, in electrical systems. The asymmetric selective harmonic current mitigation using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) presents a novel approach to enhancing the performance of APFs. This method selectively targets specific harmonic components, thereby optimizing the filter's efficiency and reducing power losses. This paper critically analyzes the effectiveness of asymmetric selective harmonic current mitigation-PWM in APFs. The study includes a comparative analysis with traditional harmonic mitigation techniques, a detailed exploration of the theoretical underpinnings, and practical implications in various electrical systems. The findings highlight the potential of this method to improve power quality significantly, making it a viable solution for modern power systems facing increasing harmonic distortions.
