Using Active Filters to Reduce THD in Traction Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
DC underground traction systems are a powerful source of harmonic distortion, and so, suitable corrective actions have to be taken. For the design of these corrective actions simulation has proved to be a very useful tool. In this paper, the simulation of an active filter for the reduction of the current harmonic distortion of an underground traction system is presented.

A %THD analysis of industrial power distribution systems with active power filter-case studies
Increasing use of variable speed drives in industry causes harmonic proliferation in industrial power distribution supply system. Harmonic currents generated by the variable speed drives interact with power system impedance to give rise to harmonic voltage distortion. Thus it is essential to analyze, evaluate and introduce appropriate mitigation techniques for harmonic reduction in the power sy...
