ABSTRACT:  According to development of power electronics device, harmonic distortion spread on the network. Thus harmonic is a threat for instrument, network, decreasing of line capacity and etc. Active power filter (APF) can be employed for harmonic compensation in power systems. In this paper a distorted distribution feeder is considered and analyzed from power quality viewpoint using power analyzer device and simulated in MATLAB-Mfile. Then the size and place of active power filters are determined by use of Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO). The goal of this optimization is minimizing of losses and total harmonic distortion (THD) in feeder by considering economical cost.  The performance of the approaches are assessed and appreciated by a case study on the Ghaemshahr-Iran Distribution network. Measurement is done on the city network by power analyzer CA8310. All data was collected on Computer. Then researcher algorithm BBO, it is selected the best place and size for Active power filter. The results show a good performance.

Currently, multilevel inverters have been increased the number of applications in the industrial sector and renewable energy sources. Among its characteristics, the most remarkable are modular design, high performance, and low harmonic distortion in the output voltage waveform. For this paper, a single-phase Cascade H-Bridge Multilevel Inverters (CHB-MLI or CMLI) topology with independent DC sources, has been selected for the case study. Analyzing three scenarios: 5-level, 7-level, and 9-level applying the concept of the Optimized Harmonic Stepped-Waveform (OHSW) and comparing the results between the Selective Harmonic Eliminated-Pulse Width Modulation (SHE-PWM) and the Optimal Minimization of the Total Harmonic Distortion (OMTHD) are also presented. To compare the results obtained with classical and nature-inspired optimization methods, three techniques are used to solve transcendental nonlinear equations for the problem of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) minimization: Newton Raphson (NR), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which have been widely used for the problems of THD minimization in multilevel inverters.
