Mitigation Technique

This research proposes technical and economic analysis of harmonic distortion impact and mitigation technique in power networks. Main proposal of research is analysis of harmonic impact and harmonic solution by regarding to economic decency for investment. Parallel resonance is harmonic impact that will be mentioned in this research because it is a problem that is mostly emerged in industries that contain non-linear loads and power factor correction devices. Its impact on power network is high voltage and current amplification, which link to equipment and system failure. An application of detuned filter will be proposed to solve the problem due to its popularity (It is a basic solution, easier and more inexpensive than the other solution). Parallel resonance condition will be modeled with an industrial power network, which contains a power transformer, a non-linear load (AC drive), a power factor correction device (capacitor bank) and a harmonic correction device (detuned filter bank), by using electrical, mathematical and payback period formulas. The results will illustrated the impact of parallel resonance phenomenon due to harmonic distortion in power network.

The Relationship

This paper presents the effect of total harmonic distortion (THD) in power factor correction (PFC) at non-linear load. This study focuses on the relationship between THD and PFC. This is beacuse,the power factor affects THD. This occurs in power system as we have variety of loads, i. e linear load or non-linear load. The variety of loads will influence the sinusoidal waveform, which comes out from harmonic distortion. Thus, based on this study, we can compare the effective method in improving the power factor as it will not disturb the performance of THD. The focus of study is on the single phase load, where the voltage restriction is 240 V.  The analysis will  only focus on the consumer, which depends on the variety of non-linear load. Besides, the parameters for analysis are based on the percentage of THD and the value of power factor. The instrument for measuring the parameter is based on power factor correction device or technique. On the other hand, the method that was used for this study is based on simulation which incorporated the Multisim software. At the end of ths study, we can choose the most effective method that can be used to improve the power factor correction without disturbing the THD.

This paper presents the resonance impact on power factor correction system (PFC system) in power system with harmonic distortion. The main purpose is to show harmonic current amplification that generated by the parallel resonance phenomenon in power system and problem solution. The power system model for analysis consist of the harmonic current source and PFC system. These devices are established by MATHLAB/Simulink. In simulation, the variable speed drive, which is DC drive, instead to the harmonic current source in power system that use capacitor to improve power factor of system. The problem solution, the series reactor, which is detune filter, is used to correct parallel resonance problem, by connecting capacitor with the series reactor, which is detune filter. The result of simulation, detune filter is able to avoid the parallel resonance phenomenon and partially reduce harmonic current that flowing to capacitor, however the series reactor, which is detune filter, is unable to reduce harmonic current of the harmonic current source.

High Power Factor

A novel single-switch single-stage high power factor LED driver is proposed by integrating a flyback converter, a buck–boost converter and a current balance circuit. Only an active switch and a corresponding control circuit are used. The LED power can be adjusted by the control scheme of pulse–width modulation (PWM). The flyback converter performs the function of power factor correction (PFC), which is operated at discontinuous-current mode (DCM) to achieve unity power factor and low total current harmonic distortion (THDi). The buck–boost converter regulates the dc-link voltage to obtain smooth dc voltage for the LED. The current–balance circuit applies the principle of ampere-second balance of capacitors to obtain equal current in each LED string. The steady-state analyses for different operation modes is provided, and the mathematical equations for designing component parameters are conducted. Finally, a 90-W prototype circuit with three LED strings was built and tested. Experimental results show that the current in each LED string is indeed consistent. High power factor and low THDi can be achieved. LED power is regulated from 100% to 25% rated power. Satisfactory performance has proved the feasibility of this circuit.

Power Factor Correction (PFC) converters are widely used in engineering. A classical PFC control circuit employs two complicated feedback control loops and a multiplier, while the One-Cycle-Controlled (OCC) PFC converter has a simple control circuit. In OCC PFC converters, the voltage loop is implemented with a PID control and the multiplier is not needed. Although linear theory is used in designing the OCC PFC converter control circuit, it cannot be used in predicting non-linear phenomena in the converter. In this paper, a non-linear model of the OCC PFC Boost converter is proposed based on the double averaging method. The line frequency instability of the converter is predicted by studying the DC component, the first harmonic component and the second harmonic component of the main circuit and the control circuit. The effect of the input voltage and the output capacitance on the stability of the converter is studied. The correctness of the proposed model is verified with numerical simulations and experimental measurements.

This paper presents a new single-stage single-switched forward converter with magnetic coupled nondissipative snubber, which gives good power factor correction (PFC), low current harmonic distortion, and tight output voltage regulation. The proposed converter features low switch current and voltage stresses, essential for the design of a single-stage power factor correction converter. The prototype shows that the IEC1000-3-2 requirements are met satisfactorily with nearly unity power factor. This proposed converter with magnetic coupled nondissipative snubber is particularly suited for power supply applications with low power level.
