The document discusses selective harmonic current mitigation using a shunt active power filter (SAPF). It describes various harmonic detection methods and the operating principle of active power filters. The proposed selective harmonic current compensation method uses an SAPF to extract the fundamental component of current for the nonlinear and unbalanced loads, and selectively compensate the fifth harmonic. Simulation results show the total harmonic distortion is reduced from 16.25% to 3.39% using this selective harmonic current mitigation approach.

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
