Technique power factor compensation by the electronic generation of reactive and harmonic currents

With the advancement of power electronics for industrial and domestic use, the currents generated by equipments using this technology has been and still is, a subject of study and implementation of techniques for its high harmonic filtering and reactive content. Because of the limitations of existing techniques based on passive filters, a novel method for active filtering is presented in this work by reproducing unwanted currents and injecting these into a compensation node. Trials of the proposed models show effectiveness and efficiency in filtering with highly satisfactory results.
