ثبت نشده
چکیده
This work presents a method capable of designing passive filters to reduce harmonic distortion and correct the power factor in two pulse Rectifier system. The optimization process considers the discrete nature of the size of the element of the filter. This new formulation is a combinatorial optimization problem with a non-differentiable objective function. In addition a solution methodology based on an optimization technique Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed to determine the size of filters. The steps involved in GA are clearly explained. Simulation and experimental results for GA based design are presented.

متن کاملA Novel 36-pulse rectifier with low kVA rate to reduce harmonic input current distortion
The increase in the number of pulses in multipulse rectifiers leads to a reduction in harmonic current distortion. But this increase in the number of pulses leads to an increase in kVA, cost, and complexity of the multi-pulse rectifiers. As a result, in industrial applications, 12-pulse rectifiers are mainly used due to their lightweight, simple transformers, and low kVA rate, and low cost. The...

متن کاملApplication of Single Tuned Passive Filters in Distribution Networks at the Point of Common Coupling
Abstract—The harmonic distortion of voltage is important in relation to power quality due to the interaction between the large diffusion of non-linear and time-varying single-phase and three-phase loads with power supply systems. However, harmonic distortion levels can be reduced by improving the design of polluting loads or by applying arrangements and adding filters. The application of passiv...
