3. 1. MOTIVACIÓN
• In electric power systems are switched system
introducing harmonic line mainly due to the
switching elements.
•Harmonics generated from nonlinear loads, such
as switch mode power converters and adjustable
speed drives, as well as other unbalanced loads in
distribution networks deteriorate power quality in
power transmission and distribution systems.
•Nonlinear loads increase losses and produce
harmonic distortion in the grid.

4. •This harmonic distortion can be mitigated using
passive filters.
•Thus, passive filters cannot always provide a
complete compensation solution.
•As an alternative, different active filter solutions
have been continuously analyzed in recent years. A
conventional (APF) is typically composed of three
single phase inverters and pulse width modulation
(PWM) and can be connected to the load either in
parallel or in series

23. Conclusion
s•The simulation was conducted based
on a three-phase circuit with linear and
nonlinear unbalanced loads.
•Using the proposed SAPF resulted in a
reduction of the original THD from 16.25%
to 3.39% or nearly five times less.
•The effectiveness of the proposed
SHCM system makes it a practical
solution for a variety of industrial
applications with need harmonic current
mitigation.
