Abstract

As a result of the presence of non-linear loads, it is possible to verify the increasing of harmonic distortion in electric power systems. When amplified, it can induce the resonance effect. This effect becomes more and more prominent to the technical-scientific community, mainly when the standards of power quality are observed. To analyze and mitigate the effect of harmonic distortion, an active power filter was used in this research. Both the active filter and the distribution system under analysis, in the presence of non-linear loads, were simulated via Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). Additionally, details of the filter control system were described. With the insertion of the filter, the harmonic distortions of current and voltage were mitigated, being in compliance with the limits of PRODIST.
