HARMONICS ELIMINATION IN ISOLATED POWER SYSTEM USING COMPENSATORS
Journal Title: World Journal of Engineering Research and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Isolated power systems are often affected by harmonics due to the presence of non-linear and sensitive loads. The invention of power electronics and advanced control technologies have made it possible to mitigate power quality problems and maintain the operation of senstive loads. In analyzing the power system disturbances harmonics are some of the severe problems to the sensitive loads. In this paper series compensation method is used to protect sensitive loads against those disturbances. The effectiveness of the compensator to reduce the harmonic distortion due to the presence of nonlinear loads in the network is studied. The modeling and simulation of the proposed series compensator was implemented in Matlab Simulink work space. Simu-lation results show that the proposed series compensator is efficient in mitigating voltage harmonics and thus improve the power quality of the isolated power system.
