The increase use of polluting equipment, especially in the field of power electronics, has caused appearance of harmonics and deterioration in the supplied current wave quality. For this reason, several harmonic pollution control methods have been developed, and the use of the active filtering presents the most efficient and appropriate solution. This work concerns improving energy quality of an electrical network by using an active parallel filter. To achieve this objective, three essential steps were pursued: identification of the harmonic currents, insertion and control of an active parallel filter, and checking effectiveness of the adopted filtering strategy by comparing the total harmonic distortion (THD) values before and after filtering. The various obtained results prove capacity of the inserted active filter to decontaminate harmonic pollution and consequently improve the energy quality.
