ABSTRACT Context: The traditional methodology for the control of harmonics consists in the use of passive filters tuned to the harmonic components to be eliminated. Passive filters require a frequency-demanding design to avoid resonance phenomena with other elements and they not respond to changes in the dynamics of the electric power system. Method: A best-performing solution alternative is parallel power active filters. These filters, unlike passive filters, inject compensation currents into the network and have adaptation to changes in operating conditions. The implementation of an active filter involves hardware development but also software development. Algorithms are required for calculation of compensation currents and dc bus voltage control. Results: In this work a prototype for the harmonic compensation of 5kVA is designed and built in three phase distribution systems of 220V. The hardware fundamental elements are: coupling coil, capacitor, semiconductor devices and controller. The control algorithms that are responsible for the operation of the active filter at each instant of time are PQ theory, Linear Control-PWM and PI Control. Conclusions: The active power filters are a solution to the presence of harmonics in power systems. They compensate the harmonics generated by nonlinear loads and they don‘t have resonance problems and good dynamic response.
