A Novel Approach in the Design of Optimal Tuning Frequency of a Single Tuned Harmonic Filter for an Alternator with Rectifier Loads

چکیده
Indian electrical industries supply alternators for rectifier loads, arc furnace loads and thyristor load applications to various customers. In such cases the generator line currents are not sinusoidal but are like trapezoidal which are due to harmonics .They may cause problems for utilities and industrial power system. Single tuned (ST) filter is the most commonly used device for both harmonic suppression and reactive power compensation The objective of this paper is to obtain the optimal tuning frequency of a single tuned harmonic filter in order to control harmonic current to the allowable value with a minimum filter capacity or a given capacity by scanning the partial resonance ratio and filter resistance within possible range. Computer aided design procedure for ST filters and an associated simulation code for analysis of industrial power system with harmonic filters are illustrated. The reverse order design for multiple filter branches and usage of C#.net software for achieving optimal frequency are added features of this paper. ---------------------------------------

This paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. The power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a RL low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an RL in series with an IGBT based voltage source converter. The filter is assumed...
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 کاملControl of Inverter-Interfaced Distributed Generation Units for Voltage and Current Harmonics Compensation in Grid-Connected Microgrids
In this paper, a new approach is proposed for voltage and current harmonics compensation in grid-connected microgrids (MGs). If sensitive loads are connected to the point of common coupling (PCC), compensation is carried out in order to reduce PCC voltage harmonics. In absence of sensitive loads at PCC, current harmonics compensation scenario is selected in order to avoid excessive injection of...
