Development environment for control strategies of hybrid active power filters using Matlab(R) and dSpace(R) DSP

This paper presents a development environment for control strategies of power hybrid active filters based in Matlab(R) together with dSpace(R) DSP. This development environment allows design, implementation and validation of control strategies of this kind of power filter. To illustrate this application was simulated a hybrid parallel active power filter and test results of power structures of filters are performed and presented. The dSpace DSP allows high level programming using Simulink Blocks. The results of simulation are compared with practical results
