To suppress the most dominant harmonic currents and compensate for the power factor (PF) of electric generators (EGs), a technique based on passive power filters (PPFs) is presented here. The key feature of the proposed method is the implementation of only a set of PPFs for compensating the power‐quality issues of two EGs. This characteristic makes the suggested approach highly cost‐effective and considerably reduces the required space for placing PPFs. The performance of the proposed technique is demonstrated using simulation studies under MATLAB/Simulink environment and validated experimentally.
