“Comparación de metodologías Cruz y PQ para el control de filtro activo, para disminuir armónicos en un sistema de distribución eléctrico ante un escenario de carga no lineal desbalanceada”

Abstract

This research designs and compares the performance of an active power filter (APF), it will be controlled by two separate compensation methods. The first, is the instantaneous active and reactive power compensation method (P-Q), while the second is the CRUZ compensation method. Each technique will be evaluated in the IEEE test system of 13 distribution nodes, with non-linear loads. The variables to be analyzed include current, voltage, power, and harmonic distortion (THD), the latter being of special interest for research. The PQ theory is better because it reduces THD by 25.57%, while the Cruz theory by 25.19%. Therefore, the PQ filter shows better compensation results compared to the Cross filter.
