Utilization of Arduino Control in Mitigating the Hybrid Harmonics of DC/AC Inverter

Abstract

This Paper deals with the implementation of Harmonics distortion in distribution system by using the method of hybrid of active filter and passive filters. The active filter is used to reduce the distortion present in the output. Boost converter is used to increase the voltage level. This boost converter is connected to the inverter, which is designed by using the MOSFET as a switch. In practical application the pulses for the inverter is given by using the Arduino control. By using this hybrid method, the total harmonics distortion is reduced to below the acceptable limit. Simulation for this proposed method is done by using the MATLAB simulink. Initially, fast fourier transform may found to mitigate harmonics. But emerging technologies like Arduino control is proved to simple and economical in carrying out the same task effectively.
