EAI SESC 2021 - 3rd EAI International Conference on Sustainable Energy for Smart Cities (online event), November 24 – 26, 2021 - Portugal.As the industry progresses, power quality problems become more and more rele-vant. The increase of non linear loads in industries, leads to higher current har-monic distortion and low power factor. In order to mitigate these problems, this paper validates a shunt active power filter (SAPF). The adopted topolo-gy and its control algorithm are analyzed through computer simulations consider-ing real industrial load models, which were elaborated from data collected in power quality analyzers that were connected to different points of an industry.
The results achieved validate the correct operation of the applied SAPF, as well as it presents the improvements obtained of the total current distortion and neutral current.This work is supported by: European Structural and Investment Funds in the FEDER component, through the Operational Competitiveness and Internationalization Pro-gramme (COMPETE 2020) [Project nº 39479; Funding Reference: POCI-01-0247-FEDER-39479]
