Due to the importance of the industrial growth in the North and in particular the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM), it is important to have mathematical tools that facilitate the expert decisions on the selection and sizing of harmonic filters needed to neutralize the harmful effects of harmonics generated by nonlinear loads of industry and achieve compliance with the power quality standards. Moreover, as the passive harmonic filters have the capacity to generate reactive power to the network, they are effective compensating reactive power means and therefore can achieve significant savings in sales of electric energy consumed by these industrial facilities. This thesis aims to develop a mathematical method and a computational tool for the selection of the configuration and the design parameters of a set of passive harmonic filters for industrial electrical systems. In this direction, the optimization problem of compensation of harmonics through passive filters is formulated as a multi-objective problem that considers both the goals of reducing harmonic distortion as the economic effectiveness of the project considering the characteristics of the Brazilian system of tariffs. Moreover, the presented formulation considers relevant restrictions imposed by the national and foreign standards. A computational solution to this problem was achieved using the NSGA-II genetic algorithm which determines a set of Pareto optimal solutions (Frontier) that enable the designer to choose the most appropriate solutions to the problem. Furthermore, the computational tool developed has several new features as: not only calculates the parameters that characterize the filters, but also selects the type of configuration and the number of branches of the filter in each candidate bus according to a set of predetermined settings; has implemented two standards for assessing the constraints of power quality (Prodist Modulo-8 and IEEE 519-92) that can be selected by the user; determines solutions with good performance indicators for various characteristic and non-characteristic scenarios of the system that allow to represent: the daily variations of the load as well as the variations of system parameters and filters; evaluates the cost of energy bills in a grid that has different industrial operating conditions (characteristic scenarios) and assesses the economic effect of harmonic filters as reactive power compensators. To develop the computational tool of this thesis, it was used a phase-coordinates model for the electric power grids of industrial and services installations to program additional computational tools. These tools comprise a frequency scan program, a harmonic power flow program for the harmonic current injection method and a fundamental frequency power flow program. The positive results of this thesis, from the analysis of several practical examples show the advantages of the developed method.
