Abstract

Unbalanced consumers have led to power quality problems. It is therefore necessary to have on hand solutions and equipment capable of improving the power quality. This paper provides a comparison on improving the power factor at unbalanced consumers by using two methods the installation of a capacitor in the PCC (point of common coupling) – analysis made through analytical method; and installation of a shunt active power filter in the PCC – analysis made through simulation using Matlab/Simulink software.
