Abstract
A method for operating a power system connected to a power grid includes providing an active filter in the converter power path. Further, the method includes determining a change in attenuation of harmonics of the power system over a predetermined frequency spectrum that is needed to comply with one or more grid code requirements of the power grid. Thus, the method includes actively controlling, via a controller, the active filter to provide the change to the attenuation of the harmonics of the power system so as to mitigate the harmonics of the power system.
