Mitigation of power quality issues in distribution systems using harmonic filters and capacitor banks

Due to increased load demand, the power system developers are encouraged meet quality requirements. Using harmonic filter and capacitor bank is one of essential solutions in mitigating issues. This research aims mitigate harmonics improve voltage distribution systems by using ETAP. For this purpose, a Homs city considered, which part Syrian system. The banks designed numerical analysis Optimal Capacitor Placement (OCP). results indicate that approach enhances profile, reflected some buses. profile effectively improved on several buses, losses significantly reduced. Total Harmonic Distortions (THDs) Individual (IHDs) subjected buses Moreover, factor from 0.877 0.926 for studied
