WHY HARMONIC ANALYSIS ?

When a voltage and/or current waveform is distorted, it causes


abnormal operating conditions in a power system such as:

X Voltage Harmonics can cause additional heating in induction and


synchronous motors and generators.
X Voltage Harmonics with high peak values can weaken insulation in
cables, windings, and capacitors.
X Voltage Harmonics can cause malfunction of different electronic
components and circuits that utilize the voltage waveform for
synchronization or timing.
X Current Harmonics in motor windings can create Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI).

4 |   

X Current Harmonics flowing through cables can cause higher
heating over and above the heating that is created from the
fundamental component.
X Current Harmonics flowing through a transformer can cause
higher heating over and above the heating that is created by the
fundamental component.
X Current Harmonics flowing through circuit breakers and switch-
gear can increase their heating losses.
X RESONANT CURRENTS which are created by current harmonics
and the different filtering topologies of the power system can
cause capacitor failures and/or fuse failures in the capacitor or
other electrical equipment.
X False tripping of circuit breakers ad protective relays.

HARMONIC DETECTION METHODS

i) Load current detection iAF= iLh


It is suitable for shunt active filters which are installed near
one or more non-linear loads.

ii) Supply current detection iAF= KS iSh


Is the most basic harmonic detection method for series
active filters acting as a voltage source vAF.

iii) Voltage detection


It is suitable for shunt active filters which are used as
Unified Power Quality Conditioners. This type of Active
Filter is installed in primary power distribution systems. The
Unified Power Quality Conditioner consists of a series and a
shunt active filter.

91 |   

SHUNT ACTIVE FILTER CONTROL

a) Shunt active filter control based on voltage detection

9à |   

Using this technique the three-phase voltages, which are detected at the point of
installation, are transformed to $  and $ F on the dq coordinates. Then two first
order high-pass filters of 5HZ in order to extract the ac components "
$  and "$F
from $  and $ F . Next the ac components are applied to the inverse dq
transformation circuit, so that the control circuit to provide the three-phase
harmonic voltages at the point of installation. Finally, amplifying each harmonic
voltage by a gain Kv produces each phase current reference.

  G Ë $ 

The active filter behaves like a resistor 1/KV ohms to the external circuit for
harmonic frequencies without altering the fundamental components.
The current control circuit compares the reference current O% with the actual
current of the active filter O% and amplifies the error by a gain KI . Each phase
voltage detected at the point of installation, v is added to each magnified error
signal, thus constituting a feed forward compensation in order to improve current
controllability. As a result, the current controller yields three-phase voltage
references. Then, each reference voltage $ is compared with a high frequency
triangular waveform to generate the gate signals for the power semiconductor
devices.

b) Reference current calculation scheme using source currents (is),
load currents (iL) and voltages at the point of installation (vS).

3-ij HYBRID ACTIVE-PASSIVE FILTER

Compensation of current harmonics and displacement power


factor can be achieved simultaneously.

In the current harmonic compensation mode, the active filter improves the
filtering characteristic of the passive filter by imposing a voltage harmonic
waveform at its terminals with an amplitude

@ THDi decreases if K increases.


@ The larger the voltage harmonics generated by the active filter a better filter
compensation is obtained.
@ A high value of the quality factor defines a large band width of the passive
filter, improving the compensation characteristics of the hybrid topology.
@ A low value of the quality factor and/or a large value in the tuned factor
increases the required voltage generated by the active filter necessary to
keep the same compensation effectiveness, which increases the active
filter rated power.

97 |   

Displacement power factor correction is achieved by controlling the voltage
drop across the passive filter capacitor.

 E 

Displacement power factor control can be achieved since at fundamental


frequency the passive filter equivalent impedance is capacitive.

HYBRID ACTIVE-PASSIVE FILTER

Single-phase equivalent circuit Single-phase equivalent circuit

This active filter detects the 5th harmonic current component that flows
into the passive filter and amplifies it by a gain K in order to determine its
voltage reference which is given by

As a result, the active filter acts as a pure resistor of K ohms for the 5th
harmonic voltage and current. The impedance of the hybrid filter at the 5th
harmonic frequency, Z5 is given by

HARMONIC-EXTRACTING CIRCUIT
The extracting circuit detects the three-phase currents that flow into
the passive filter using the AC current transformers and then the Į-ȕ
coordinates are transformed to those on the d-g coordinates by
using a unit vector (cos5Ȧt, sin5Ȧt) with a rotating frequency of
five times as high as the line frequency.

CONCLUSIONS
X Solid State Power Control results in harmonic pollution above the tolerable limits.
X Harmonic Pollution increases industrial plant downtimes and power losses.
X Harmonic measurements should be made in industrial power systems in order (a) aid
in the design of capacitor or filter banks, (b) verify the design and installation of
capacitor or filter banks, (c) verify compliance with utility harmonic distortion
requirements, and (d) investigate suspected harmonic problems.
X Computer software programs such as PSPICE and SIMULINK can be used in order to
obtain the harmonic behavior of an industrial power plant.
X The series LC passive filter with resonance frequency at 4.7 is the most popular filter.
X The disadvantages of the the tuned LC filter is its dynamic response because it cannot
predict the load requirements.
X The most popular Active Filter is the parallel or shunt type.
X Active Filter technology is slowly used in industrial plants with passive filters as a
hybrid filter. These filters can be used locally at the inputs of different nonlinear loads.
X Active Filter Technology is well developed and many manufactures are fabricating
Active filters with large capacities.
X A large number of Active Filters configurations are available to compensate harmonic
current, reactive power, neutral current, unbalance current, and harmonics.
X The active filters can predict the load requirements and consequently they exhibit very
good dynamic response.
X LC tuned filters can be used at PCC and the same time active filters can be used
locally at the input of nonlinear loads.
