Harmonics in Power System
The distribution of the harmonic sources requires close monitoring between OEM & users for making a stringent specification in order to minimize voltage-distortion levels are kept to acceptable levels on the overall system considering IEEE 519- standards...
Analysis And Elimination Of Third Harmonics
This article discusses the power quality issues and how is the unwanted component (called harmonic) introduced. Consequence of harmonics according to their sequence will be different and most precarious also. Moreover, different strategies according to different cases are discussed. We have discussed four different cases. Whereever necessary, the mathematical analysis is shown with output waveform to prove the arguments... - Paresh Modha, Minesh Joshi
Distribution System Capacitor Banks And their Impact On Power Quality
The most common solution to harmonic problems involves the application of harmonic filters. Capacitors and the system short-circuit impedance combine to create resonances that can magnify harmonic levels to well above accepted limits. What is the solution? - Dr L Ashok Kumar
Effect of TRANSFORMERS Saturation
A transformer can incur in core saturation conditions in either of the following cases:

An ANN Based Approach For Optimal Placement Of Custom Power Devices
Power electronics based controllers used in distribution systems are called custom power devices. These devices have been proved to be quite effective in power quality enhancement. They may be of series, shunt and series-shunt or series-series type – depending upon their connection in the circuit... - D K Tanti, MK Verma, Brijesh Singh, O N Mehrotra
Which factors affect the power supply quality?
The harmonious and uniform standards should be specified by the State Regulatory Commissions to serve the best interest of the utilities and consumers connected to the national grid. - Ashok Upadhyay
Performance Evaluation
In previous publications, authors have reported about the performance of the single-phase inverter topology based on controlled charging of the capacitor. The dynamic performance was not available. This article presents the dynamic performance of the inverter for various types of load, which includes leading, lagging and unity power factor, and analysis for 'total harmonic distortion' has been included... - K.Vijayakumar, S.Kannan and S.Ponnayira Sundaravel
Stator Earth Fault Protection for Generators
The article reveals that 3rd Harmonic voltage generation is prime criterion to deploy the 100 per cent Stator Earth fault protection. - Dinesh Pawar
Improved Power Quality & Reduced Harmonics
An increasing number of loads are non-linear, introducing harmonics into the power grid and thus significantly impairing the power quality. EPCOS PQSine™ is an active harmonic filter that effectively reduces the unwanted harmonics…
Lighting Systems And Their Effect On Power Quality
Poor power quality management inevitably leads to an increase in operational costs and places an unnecessary strain on already dwindling resources. The ultimate reason that we are interested in power quality is economic value... - Dr. K Uma Rao, Nitish N, Pramod R Rao, Ashish M Rao
Harmonics Causes & Effects
Harmonics are defined as the content of signal whose frequency is an integral multiple of the system frequency of the fundamental. Voltage distortion is generally very harmful because it can increase the effective peak value and also the rms current in some devices connected to the network... - Basant Kumar
