Harmonics in electrical networks occur as a result of non-linear loads. It has an effect on power factor improvement using capacitors in terms of increasing the unbalance current between units. In addition, the occurrence of resonance and result in the exit of capacitors from service by the protective relays to protect the units from collapse. The main objective of this research is the real-tim...

In this work, the ratchet dynamics of Brownian particles driven by an external sinusoidal (harmonic) force is investigated. The gating ratchet effect is observed when another harmonic is used to modulate the spatially symmetric potential in which the particles move. For small amplitudes of the harmonics, it is shown that the current (average velocity) of particles exhibits a sinusoidal shape as...

The supply current is distorted by the nonlinear load such UPS, DC drives, AC drives and arc furnace. This current harmonics derates the electrical equipments. Thus the current harmonics are reduced from the supply line using Shunt Hybrid filter. The Hysteresis controller controls the active filter thus the supply current tracks the reference fundamental current extracted by the synchronous ref...

Abstract: The generator stator current gets distorted with unacceptable levels of total harmonic distortion (THD) because impedance-source wind power generation systems use three-phase diode rectifiers. The stator current harmonics will cause increasing losses and torque ripple, which reduce the efficiency and stability of the system. This paper proposes a novel half quasi-Z-source inverter (H-...

odically occur in a facility’s electrical system can cause equipment malfunction, data distortion, transformer and motor insulation failure, overheating of neutral buses, nusiance tripping of circuit breakers, and solid-state component breakdown. The cost of power quality problems can be enormous. Equipment replacement can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Downtime, however, can run in the mil...

Magnetic core saturation of transformers and rotating machines generate harmonics. Harmonics are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. Harmonics is caused by nonlinear devices in the power system. Due to the non-linear loads, power frequency harmonics exist mainly in distribution systems. The current harmonics cause voltage harmonics, hence resulting in nonsinusoidal supply voltage in...
