Power quality management is the main problem that the industry is facing today. This is mainly affected by the generation of harmonics. The growing use of electronic equipment produces a large amount of harmonics in distribution systems because of non-sinusoidal currents consumed by non-linear loads. As we know for the better quality of power, the voltage and current waveforms should be sinusoi...

This paper present the results obtained by simulation for the functioning regime improvement of an UHP Electric Arc Furnace. Because the nonlinearity of the electric arc the EAF functioning regime are perturbed from three causes: the current harmonics, the reactive power and the unbalanced load. In this paper there are study the possibilities of harmonics filtering and compensate the reactive p...

The spherical harmonics Y l m form a basis of the vector space V (of dimensions 2l + 1) of the eigen functions of the Laplacian on the sphere, with eigen value λl = −l (l+ 1). Here we show the existence of an other basis Φj for V, where Φj(X) ≡ (X · Nj), the l power of the scalar product of the current point with a specific null vector Nj . This very simple formulation makes calculations very e...

When a composite containing nonlinear dielectric particles suspended in a host medium is subjected to a sinusoidal alternating current (ac) electric field, the dielectric response of the composite will generally consist of ac fields at frequencies of higher order harmonics. For an electrorheological (ER) solid under structure transformations due to external fields, we apply the Ewald-Kornfeld f...

Electrical parameter online measurement is used to monitor the working state of AC motor, to prevent the voltage being too low or the load being too large, to protect the motor safely. The paper mainly discusses the configuration and the principle based on Cortex-M3 for measuring the electrical parameter of alternating motor. The formula is given in the paper that calculates the AC signal harmo...

This paper deals with the application of the Spectral Kurtosis (SK) to bearing fault detection in asynchronous machines. This one-dimensional spectral measure allows to study the nature of the harmonic components of the stator current of an induction motor running at a constant rotation speed. It provides additional information with respect to second order quantities given by the Power Spectrum...

The use of nonlinear load led to the injection of harmonics into the power system. In this paper, the performance of two topologies of shunt hybrid power filters for compensating voltage and current harmonics in the distributed power generation (DPG) system has been compared. The control algorithm used in this paper is the p-q theory for the harmonics compensation. The performance of these topo...

The implementation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) schemes by the ripple correlation control (RCC) algorithm is presented in this paper. A reference is made to single-phase single-stage multilevel photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, when the inverter input variables (PV voltage and PV current) have multiple low-frequency (ripple) harmonics. The harmonic analysis is carried out with ref...

Solid rotor alternator is of great importance at high ratings for generation of electric power as they can with stand huge centrifugal forces developed in the alternator. When a non liner load is connected to such an alternator network it invariably injects harmonics into the system which becomes a power quality issue. In order to compensate for the harmonic content a shunt active filter is con...

In this paper, a novel approach is proposed for selective compensation of main voltage harmonics in a grid-connected microgrid. The aim of compensation is to provide a high voltage quality at the point of common coupling (PCC). PCC voltage quality is of great importance due to sensitive loads that may be connected. It is assumed that the voltage harmonics are originated from distortion in grid ...
