Dataset of non-linear household loads for Validation of Active Power Filters

This paper presents a dataset of non-linear household loads in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, obtained through a structured data collection and processing methodology. The dataset comprises high-resolution voltage and current waveforms, along with key electrical parameters such as harmonic profiles, voltage, current, frequency, and crest factors. Measurements were conducted using the METREL MI 2883 power quality analyzer on seven representative household devices: a refrigerator, air conditioner, smart TV, microwave oven, smartphone charger, laptop charger, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices were selected to capture the diversity of modern household loads, which contribute to harmonic distortion and impact power quality. The dataset enables studies on power quality analysis, and harmonic mitigation strategies. It is particularly suited for validating active power filters, modeling real-world non-linear loads in advanced simulations such as Controller Hardware-In-the-Loop (CHIL). The dataset is openly available for further research applications in power system studies, filter design validation, and energy efficiency analysis.
