The objectives are to establish control of generator excitation and reduce harmonic distortion caused by nonlinear load. It is made a comparison with other method for obtaining the reference currents, the dq synchronous reference. First, they are simulations using the Borland C++. The control and communications necessary for the supervisory stage were implemented via DSP - TMS320F2812. Keywords - shunt filter active, harmonic distortion, instantaneous power, DSP. I. INTRODUCTION The electrical systems have presented several problems due to increased nonlinear loads connected, affecting power quality. Examples of such loads are rectifiers, inverters, devices, machinery drives, arc furnaces, fluorescent lamps, switching power supply and saturated magnetic devices [1]. Due to the growing use of these burdens in Brazil, utilities power distribution deal with problems like harmonics, power factor control, voltage fluctuations, etc., problems that in many settings, such as the use of induction generators can be minimized through active filters. These harmonics significantly alter the waves of current waveform and stretch, causing excessive losses engines due to heating, the dielectric breakdown, capacitor banks, voltage, electromagnetic interference, mechanical vibrations of induction machines and synchronous. Akagi et al [5] proposed the Generalized Theory of Instantaneous Power for almost 30 years, several researchers around the world contributed to the evolution this theory, and applied it in several cases [3] and [4]. In 1999, Akagi [6] reviewed the theory by considering the case more general application in the four-wire systems. The development of power electronics has expanded the possibility of using new equipment systems industry, especially with the development of devices switching capable of operating at higher frequencies. Through the use of digital control strategies and PWM digital drive many applications has become possible in improving the performance of active filters (FA) enabling the use of many disturbing loads than before were not viable in industrial systems. The shunt active filter is one of the most used in combating the problems of power quality caused by harmonic currents. In this type of filter, is injected a current which, added to the supply current, gives rise to the cancellation of current harmonics, resulting only the fundamental component of current to supply the system. This topology is used to eliminate harmonics current, reactive compensation and balancing unbalanced currents [2] [3]. This work makes a comparative study of efficiency in obtaining the reference currents of active filter through Generalized Theory of Instantaneous Power by comparing with the method of synchronous reference dq. Therefore, it was used an experimental setup, shown in Fig. 4, involving: an induction generator, a shunt active filter, nonlinear load and control system that was implemented digitally by DSP - TMS320F2812, which provided reference signals to drive the electronic filter. Finally, simulations and experimental results are presented in order to demonstrate the performance, performing a comparison between the two methods evaluated. II. SYNCHRONISM AND CONTROL STRATEGIES A. Generalized Theory of Instantaneous Power Now well known in the literature, several papers in the area of active filtering using the Generalized Theory of Instantaneous Power. In studies that followed this theory, in addition to applications in control filters can also be used in applied problems using systems unbalanced or not, presenting distortions [4]. The Clarke Transformation is used to transform the traditional abc coordinates into the alfa-beta-zero coordinates. From the three-phase voltages generated and line currents of the load, one can determine the power instantaneous active [5]. p ( t) + i = vα iα + vβ iβ v0 0 (1) v α,v β e v 0 are the voltages in the coordinates αβ0; i α,i β e i 0 are the currents in the coordinates αβ0;

2 Different the calculation of active power, the instantaneous reactive power arises from the multiplication vector [6]. Components axis zero only come into being, if the circuit presents the neutral wire and its load imbalances present, which is not the case of the system studied in this work, which reduces the equations, resulting in: p = v i + v i (2) α α α β β β q = v i v i (3) β α The block diagram of Fig. 1 represents the obtained the instantaneous power from three phase system.

Basic structure of a shunt AF A more detailed schematic diagram of the assembly is shown in Fig. 4. As can be observed, are used a DC source and a DC motor to drive the generator induction. The DC motor is directly coupled to the generator induction. It uses a capacitor bank connected to induction generator to supply the reactive power and perform his excitement.

Synchronous dq reference The obtaining of the current reference it, this method consists of, from reading the three-phase load currents, transform the signal obtained in a biphasic system with axes stationary Clarke transformation and then in a system biphasic rotating axes (transform Park). The currents in the dq format, takes place a filtering these currents, resulting only in harmonic currents, represented by i * dh e i * qh and that will be the current reference for the active filter.
