This paper presents a novel three-phase four-wire low power rating flexible hybrid active filter with a power factor, harmonic and neutral currents capability for distribution systems. The passive filter is tuned to compensate the two largest harmonics components and the power factor of the load. A selective algorithm is employed in order to enable the active filter to compensate only the desirable harmonic components. Simulation results are presented in order to verify the performance of the proposed hybrid filter.
