The book addresses the critical issues of power quality, focusing on voltage and current harmonics in power networks, particularly exacerbated by power electronic converters. It discusses how harmonic distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC) impacts adjacent loads, increases feeder losses, and affects transformer and generator operations. Active power filters (APFs) are highlighted as effective solutions for mitigating these problems. The text emphasizes the challenges of controlling APFs to effectively manage reactive power, harmonics, and unbalanced loading in electrical systems.

The purpose of the book is to distinguish the single-de-source multilevel inverter topologies and to teach their control, switching and voltage balancing. It will include new information on voltage balancing and control of multilevel inverters. The book will answer some important questions about the revolution of power electronics converters: 1- Why multilevel inverter are better than 2-level ones? 2- Why single-de-source multilevel inverters are a matter of interest? 3- What are the redundant switching states and what do they do? 4- How to use redundant switching states in control and voltage balancing? 5- What are the applications of single-de-source multilevel inverters?
