The impact of voltage harmonics on a power system can be minimized by using active filters to inject distortion-cancelling currents. However, a network objective function must be specified before the optimum filter injection currents can be determined. This paper illustrates the application of a distortion-minimizing procedure with each of the following four network correction strategies: total harmonic voltage distortion, telephone influence factor, motor load-loss function, and single-bus sine wave correction.
