This paper deals with experimental study
and numerical simulation of single phase AC low
power loads: artificial light sources, personal
computers, refrigeration units, air conditioning units
and TV receivers. These loads are in such large
numbers that represents the main source of
disturbances (harmonic current, reactive power and
unbalanced three-phase network). The obtained
simulation models, verified by comparison with
experimental results may be used in larger simulation
models for testing and sizing the optimum parameters
of active power filters. Models can also be used to
study the interactions between grid elements and
various loads or situations.
