Reactive Power Compensation in Power Systems, Harmonic Analysis and Elimination with Passive Filters.

Power quality problems in power systems result from lack of compensation and harmonic distortions. Harmonic distortions are problems which affect continuity of energy, energy productivity and business security in networks. They are power quality incidents prevailed in distribution network. Characteristics of nonlinear loads are the most important source of formation of harmonic. In this study in MATLAB® Simulink® simulation program an application which is nonlinear loads in an industrial system with harmonic disruptions that occurred due to the passive by harmonics to decontaminate for has been realized. At first it is examined the system reactive power necessity and harmonic characteristics, then it is given required relation for designing single tuned filter. Effects of designed filters harmonic distortion and power factor of system is examined in each steps. When designed filter implements dominant harmonics, it is also seen reducing other harmonic amplitudes. The results are presented in tables and charts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
