Analysis of the reasons for the decrease in power factor on the power supply side after the AHF only performs harmonic filtering: I. Increased total apparent power naturally leads to a decrease in the overall power factor. Power factor λ = P/S. Active power P is determined only by the fundamental active power; harmonics do not contribute. After filtering, the fundamental reactive power remains unc...

When a sinusoidal voltage is applied to a non-linear circuit, both the resulting current and the voltage waveform become non-sinusoidal. Through Fourier series decomposition of these non-sinusoidal waves, the component with a frequency equal to the power system frequency is identified as the fundamental wave, while components with frequencies higher than the fundamental are termed harmonics. A vas...

In industrial production, enterprises often face two major challenges: fluctuating production efficiency and persistently high electricity costs. Most of the time, managers attribute these problems to aging equipment and improper operation by personnel, overlooking a hidden killer lurking in the power system—harmonics. As "electrical pollution" in the power system, harmonics not only directly incr...

I. Generation of Harmonics In power systems, the fundamental cause of harmonics is the presence of non-linear loads. When current flows through a load and does not maintain a linear relationship with the applied voltage, a non-sinusoidal current is formed, resulting in the generation of harmonics within the circuit. Due to the switching operations of semiconductor thyristors and the non-linear cha...

1.Why is reactive power compensation necessary? Reactive power is by no means useless power. In AC power supply systems, inductors and capacitors serve as essential loads. Ferromagnetic loads—such as electric motors and transformers—cannot function without inductive reactive power for excitation; meanwhile, long-distance transmission lines possess inherent capacitive characteristics, effectively a...

In power quality management, different voltage levels often require different harmonic mitigation strategies. In low-voltage systems, Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are widely used because they offer flexible and precise harmonic compensation. However, when it comes to medium- and high-voltage power systems, passive Filter Capacitor (FC) systems remain a more common and practical solution. So, why...
