The set of characteristics that determine the power quality (PQ) can be used to describe the state and efficiency of the power supply system in terms of the influence of electromagnetic interference. The impact of electromagnetic interference on electrical equipment is manifested in the reduction of uptime, additional losses of active power, data loss, etc. The most common sources of interference in modern conditions are consumers with non-linear volt-ampere characteristics. This type of electrical receivers creates a distortion of the current and voltage waveform. In view of the widespread use of these power consumers in daily life and industry, special attention should be paid to the problems of harmonic distortion. This article presents the results of measurements and analysis of the quality of electricity, and also shows the effect of applying an active filter (AF) to ensure the quality of electricity in the distribution network (66/20 kV) of the city of Lattakia in the Syrian Arab Republic. The definition of the optimal capacitance of the AF dc link using the particle swarm method is given in order to minimize the total non- sinusoidal current and voltage in the studied electrical network.

A number of power quality issues including electrical harmonics, poor power factor, and voltage instability and imbalance impact on the efficiency of electrical equipment. To support that equipment operates optimally, electrical power is generated must be have good quality. This study has a purpose to examine the power quality of electrical system AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply) vessel. This research was done by quantitative method. Computational techniques used by the software of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), which shares characteristics and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The result of this analysis indicated that Electrical system in VM INPOSH REGENT have quality power very good of utility systems during full way condition, however during maneuver, there was a particularly high harmonic from non-linier devices used as motor control, which functional a role propulsion. Based on the result above, it can be concluded that after filtering so that harmonic can correct until perimeter secure ABS standard, system is very good during maneuver long site and maneuver on DP system.

This paper investigates the harmonic distortion and losses in power distribution systems due to the dramatic increase of nonlinear loads. This paper tries to determine the amount of the harmonics generated by nonlinear loads in residential, commercial and office loads in distribution feeders and estimates the energy losses due to these harmonics. Norton equivalent modeling technique has been used to model the nonlinear loads. The presented harmonic Norton equivalent models of the end user appliances are accurately obtained based on the experimental data taken from the laboratory measurements. A 20 kV/400V distribution feeder is simulated to analyze the impact of nonlinear loads on feeder harmonic distortion level and losses. The model follows a “bottom-up” approach, starting from end users appliances Norton equivalent model and then modeling residential, commercial and office loads. Two new indices are introduced by the authors to quantize the effect of each nonlinear appliance on the power quality of a distribution feeder and loads are ranked based on these new defined indices. The simulation results show that harmonic distortion in distribution systems can increase power losses up to 20%.


This paper presents the simulation-based study and results of a three-phase shunt active power filter (SAPF) for power quality improvement. The power quality of the power systems is degraded because of the presence of non-linear loads at the consumer end. The SAPF can reduce the impact of harmonics caused by the non-linear loads. The analyzed SAPF system is modeled and simulated using MATLAB-Simulink workspace. The ultimate goal of this study is to improve the total harmonic distortion of the system as per the standards defined by IEEE-519.

As distribute power generation and micro-grid technology develops, more and more researchers attach importance to the problems of power quality in micro-grid, especially the problem of harmonic. This paper describes the impact and harm harmonic has on the power quality of the power grid. It introduces a revised method of managing micro-grid harmonics which uses an active power filter (APF), and the control method of APF is different from the traditional one. It also establishes the simulation model of micro-grid, analyze the simulation results and experiment in actual micro-grid to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) is the Custom Power device designed for improving the power quality of the electrical network. In this paper, we proposed UPQC design for an isolated power system network to attend both voltage and current distortion by using Unit Vector template algorithm and Instantaneous Reactive Power theory. Also UPQC is designed for the hybrid generation with Hysteresis control algorithm. The power quality improvement of the power system network is the main aim . The performance analysis is done by comparing its Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Based on its THD the quality of the power at the “Point of common coupling (PCC)”with and without compensator is quantified in this paper. Keywords : About four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.

Switching frequency modulation (SFM) as spread-spectrum technique has been used for electromagnetic interference reduction in switching power converters. In this paper, a switching-frequency-modulated boost power factor correction (PFC) converter operating in continuous conduction mode is analysed in detail in terms of its input power quality. Initially, the effect of SFM on the input current total harmonic distortion, power factor and low-frequency harmonics of the PFC converter are studied by using computer simulations. Some advices on choosing parameters of SFM are given. Then the theoretical results are verified experimentally. It is shown that, from a power quality point of view, SFM can be harmful (it can significantly worsen the power quality of the PFC converter) or almost harmless. The results depend on how properly the modulation parameters are selected.

Inadequate power quality causes damage and may even cause damage to electrical equipment. Solar Power Plants Off-grid is a stand-alone power plant is not connected to the network. This system uses storage media such as batteries to maintain the availability of electricity at night or when the sun's intensity decreases. Solar power plant has a PV module that works based on the intensity of the captured sunlight and the inverter that can change the dc voltage into ac where as is known in the inverter there are non linear components which can result in poor quality of electrical power in this case the total harmonic distortion and voltage variations change. This may result in damage to electrical equipment. The electrical power quality of the STT-PLN off-grid PLTS will be analyzed and compared with the IEEE 519-1992 and SPLN 1: 1995 standards. Based on the results of the discussion that the THDi and THDv values ​​are still above the established standard limit of 5%.

The parameters of electrical network modes often do not meet the requirements of Russian GOST 32144-2013 and the guidelines of Vietnam. In the actual operating conditions while there is the non-sinusoidal mode in electrical networks voltage and current harmonics are present. Harmonics result in overheating and damage of power transformers since they cause additional active power losses. Additional losses lead to the additional heat release, accelerating the process of insulating paper, transformer oil and magnetic structure deterioration consequently shortening the service life of a power transformer. In this regard there arises a need to develop certain scientific methods that would help demonstrate that low power quality, for instance could lead to a decrease in the electrical equipment service life. Currently we see a development of automated systems for continuous monitoring of power quality indices and mode parameters of electrical networks. These systems could be supplemented by characteristics calculating programs that give out a warning upon detection of the adverse influence of voltage and current harmonics on various electrical equipment of both electric power providers and electric power consumers. A software program presented in the article may be used to predict the influence of voltage and current harmonics on power transformers.
