The CPT current's decomposition results in several current components, which are associated with specific load characteristics (power transfer, energy storage, unbalances and/or non linearities). These current components are used for the definition of different compensation strategies, which can be selective in terms of minimizing particular disturbing effects. In order to validate the applicability of these new compensation strategies, simulation and experimental results for three-phase four-wire systems are presented. © 2011 IEEE.788-794engactive power filtersasymmetryconservative power theoryharmonic compensationpower factorreactive compensationselective compensationActive power FilterHarmonic compensationPower factorsPower theoryReactive compensationSelective compensationElectric power factorPower electronicsActive filtersTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/COBEP.2011.6085308Acesso aberto2-s2.0-84255208737
