Harmonics is a periodic sine wave distortion, due to the operation of nonlinear loads. Har-monics causes current to flow in the neutral wire even though in a balanced load condition, in addition to harmonic load imbalance problems will increase the current flowing in the neutral wire, making it dangerous for the electrical system. This research was using electrical system modeling simulation in MATLAB application by changing the earth resistance value to see the effect of earth resistance value to Total Harmonic Current Distortion (THDi), it is necessary to analyze the effect of resistance value for THDi neutral wire grounding. This study uses the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method. THDi simulation results when the conditions of the resistance value is 9 ?, THDi percentage in phase R is 6.30%, Phase S is 2.86%, Phase T is 2.50%. When the earth resistance value is 5 ?, the percentage of THDi decreases with the value in phase R is 6.09%, Fasa S is 2.61%, Fasa T is 2.48%. When the earth resistance value is 2 ?, the THDi percentage in the R phase is 5.85%, Fasa S is 2.09%, Fasa T is 2.22%. Based on the simulation results it is known that the smaller the earth resistance value, the smaller the harmonic distortion in the electrical system.

This paper studies the instantaneous output power characteristics of photovoltaic inverters and its flexible power control strategy under unbalanced grid faults. Then the optimal parameters model of the power control is established with minimum integrated fluctuation amplitude of the active and reactive power as a goal when the constraint of the output current harmonic distortion of photovoltaic inverters is taken into account. Finally, the optimal power control of photovoltaic inverters based on dead-beat current tracking is realized and the feasibility of the proposed control strategy is verified with the power system transient software PSCAD/EMTDC.

This research can be used to determine the quality and improvement of the electrical system in the Ketapang State Polytechnic rectorate building. Electrical interference can cause electrical equipment not working to the maximum which can cause permanent damage to the electrical equipment itself. The disturbance can be in the form of harmonic waves. Both of these electrical problems are very difficult for me to improve the quality of electric power. This research uses ETAP 16.00. Improvement efforts in the simulation is to use several filters that will be selected as the best filter that can reduce harmonic waves. Before using the filter the total harmonic distortion (THD) value reached 7.1% THD. After answering with several types of filters namely a single filter set, by-pass, and high-pass (not named) that can reduce harmonics to the maximum is a single filter set with a value of 2.63% THD which means the value is still in the range of THD value added which is a maximum of 5% THD.

Advances in technology have caused the use of electricity to increase rapidly. With advances in technology, this is followed by the use of increasingly efficient electrical components or equipment. This more efficient electrical equipment causes the impedance of the component to be smaller, causing a surge in current when it is turned on. This current surge, if not followed by appropriate safety precautions, will be damage other components. Each load has different waveform characteristics and current transient peaks. For this reason, it is necessary to analyze the transient condition of a load to overcome this. This paper will explain the characteristics of the inrush current of the load due to ignition. There are three loads used in this study, namely resistive, capacitive and inductive loads. Then the use of this load is simulated by giving different ignition angle values, namely 0, 60, and 90 degrees. The analysis used is the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method which is a derivative of the Discrete Fourier Transform. The inrush current spectrum in this simulation is simulated using Simulink MATLAB with switching system modeling using TRIAC. This inrush current simulation data collection uses a sampling frequency of 100 Khz and will be analyzed in the first of 5 cycles. For each load in this paper, the harmonic values for each ignition angle will be presented. The simulation results show that the inrush current is caused by the ignition angle value used and because of components that can deviate energy such as inductors and capacitors as well as components which at the time of starting have a low impedance value such as incandescent lamps. The simulation also shows that the use of switching components for setting the ignition angle causes an increase in the value of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) but the peak current in the first cycle when the ignition angle is set decreases.

Recently, the demand for electrical energy has increased more than energy production due to the growing population and industrialization. Therefore, the distributed generators integration (DGs) into the distribution system has been widely adopted. This work examines the effect of photovoltaic-based distributed generator (PV-DG) integration on power quality effect of a radial distribution system. Firstly, the capacity and optimum placement of the PV-DG units in the distribution network are determined by employing the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Then, the impact of PV-DG integration on voltage harmonic distortion is analyzed by performing harmonic load flow analysis. Also, the P-V curve method is used to evaluate the effects of higher PV-DG penetration levels on loading margin and voltage magnitude. The simulation results show that as the PV-DG units’ penetration level increases, a greater level of harmonic distortion is injected, implying that the PV-DG units should only be integrated up to the network’s maximum capacity. Therefore, high harmonic distortion is produced when the PV-DG units are penetrated beyond this maximum penetration level, which has a negative impact on the system’s performance. The total voltage harmonic distortion is 4.17 % and 4.24 % at PCC1 and PCC2 at the highest penetration level, allowing the acceptable harmonic distortion limit. Also, grid-connected PV-DG units improve loading margin and voltage magnitude, according to the P-V curve results. The standard IEEE-33 bus distribution system is modelled in ETAP software and is used as a test system for this study.
