Harmonic filter design using actual recorded data - Industry Applications, IEEE Transactions on (original) (raw)

This paper presents a study of harmonic filters design to minimize harmonic distortion caused by a harmonic source such as drives. Several types of shunt harmonic filters are presented. The analysis includes the basic principles, the application of the 2-bus method and the economic aspects for harmonic filter design. Off-line steady state simulation programs, namely, V-HARM and HARMFLO are used to model loads, to study variation of the harmonics and to evaluate the effect of harmonic filters at various buses in the system. Several existing utility systems are used as test cases to check the performance of the filter. The major objectives in this study are (i) to improve the power factor, (U) to reduce current and voltage distortion to standard limits, and (i) to reduce resonance problems at other buses, if any. The paper also reports the transient analysis of harmonic filters using Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) which is essential to determine proper ratings of the filter components. Elham B.
