Single-phase active power filter for reactive power and harmonic compensation

Baldwin Cortés, M Sergio Horta, S.A. Claudio, Victor M. Cardenas

Abstract

This paper presents design considerations of an active power filter and a simple method to calculate reactive power components and current harmonics for single-phase nonlinear loads. This allows compensation of harmonic currents into the utility power. Simulations and experimental results are shown for a nonlinear load of 1 kVA.
