Simulación de armónicos en redes trifásicas basada en la normativa ecuatoriana TDD y THD: Caso de estudio en establecimiento recreativo

Abstract

The study titled “Harmonic Simulation in Three-Phase Networks Based on Ecuadorian TDD and THD Regulations: Case Study in a Recreational Establishment” analyzes electrical harmonics in three-phase systems, evaluating their impact on power quality and compliance with Ecuadorian regulations. In a context where nonlinear loads are common, harmonics generate distortions that affect the efficiency of equipment connected to the network. This work specifically addresses the reference case of the Supercines complex, where the harmonic behavior of its three-phase system is simulated using MATLAB-Simulink. Through this tool, the network's characteristics are analyzed, identifying the main sources of distortion and their level of non-compliance with the standards for Total Demand Distortion (TDD) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The methodology combines a solid theoretical foundation with a computational model that evaluates the harmonics present in the installation and their impact on power quality. Additionally, solutions such as the implementation of electrical filters are proposed to mitigate the negative effects. In conclusion, this study provides a practical solution to the problems of electrical harmonics in industrial three-phase systems and establishes a technical basis for future research in the Ecuadorian energy sector.
