    Active Harmonic Filters

    Active Harmonic filters are systems employing power electronics. They are installed either in series or in parallel with the nonlinear load to provide the harmonic currents required by nonlinear load and thereby avoid distortion on the power system. The active filters inject, in opposite direction, the harmonics drawn by the load, such that the line current Is remains sinusoidal. They are effective and recommended for the commercial installations comprising a set of devices generating harmonics with a total power rating less than 200 kVA (variable – speed drives, uninterruptible power supplies [UPSs], office equipment, etc.). Also, they are used for the situations where the current distortion must be reduced to avoid overloads. Where: Is = source current; Iact = current injected by active filter; Ihar = harmonic current generated by nonlinear load. In general, active harmonic filters(AHF) are special harmonic filters. Active filter is usually utilized in the form of a parallel filter. Note that this part does not analyse the differences between parallel filters and serial filters. Sometimes, for the term ‘active filter’, the term ‘active harmonic filter’ is more common. In contrast to the passive filter described above, this filter improves everything right down to the sinusoidal shape of currents or voltages at the connection point. Active filters supply harmonic currents used by the consumer so that, under ideal conditions, only the fundamental frequency current is still obtained from the distribution network of the local distribution system operator (power utility). Most active filters are digital (i.e. the harmonic spectrum is determined by amount and phase location from the current measurement and an appropriate counter-phase current spectrum is generated). Most of the ‘active harmonic filters’ on the market today are current controlled and can filter the harmonic current of a measured load. The harmonic level from the MV or the harmonic generators outside the measuring circuit are not affected by this. AHF can filter harmonic currents up to their nominal current, whereby an individual so-called derating factor (reduction factor) must be considered for every specific frequency. Examples of typical applications of the active filter are: 1.Distribution networks in office buildings with a lot of nonlinear loads which cause a total harmonic distortion of THD-I · S/Sr > 20%. 2.Distribution networks whose voltage distortion caused by harmonic currents must be reduced to avoid malfunctions of sensitive loads. 3.Distribution networks whose harmonic current must be reduced to avoid overloads; in particular, those of the neutral conductor. Some additional typical applications are as follows: 1.Power inverter load with high harmonic feedback and low reactive power requirements. 2.Networks with a high share of the third harmonic due to the use of single-phase consumers. Some important characteristics of active filters are as follows: 1.Most active fi...

    Different compensation capacitor banks

    To select a capacitor bank, there are two major compensation systems or types. 1.Fixed type capacitor banks: The reactive power supplied by the bank is constant irrespective of the variations of the power factor and load of the receivers and, therefore, of the reactive energy Consumption of the installation. These banks are switched on: ◆either manually by a circuit breaker or switch, ◆or semi‐automatically by a remote‐controlled contactor This type of bank is generally used in the following cases: ◆Constant load electrical installations operating 24 hours a day, ◆Internal reactive compensation of transformer, ◆Individual compensation of motor. 2. Automatic type capacitor banks: ◆The reactive power supplied by the bank can be modulated according to the variations of the power factor and the load of the receptors and, therefore, of the reactive energy consumption of the installation. ◆This type of bank is composed of a parallel combination of capacitor steps (step= capacitor +contactor). Switching all or part of the bank on and off is controlled by a incorporated VAR meter regulator. ◆h a banks are generally used in The following cases: (1).variable load electrical installations, (2).compensation of main switchboards (MDB) or major outlets, (3).Installation of a bank with a power greater Than 15% of the Transformer power S(kVA).

  • What is Power Factor Correction?

    What is Power Factor Correction?

    One contributing element to power quality is power factor. Power Factor Correction (PFC) aims to improve power factor, utilising capacitors to offset usually inductive loads, for example motors. PFC systems increase the efficiency of power supply, delivering immediate cost savings on electricity. Power Factor is a measure of how effectively incoming power is used in your electrical system and is defined as the ratio of Real to Apparent (total) power where: • Real Power is the power that actually powers the equipment and performs useful, productive work. • Reactive Power is required by some equipment (e.g. transformers, motors and relays) to produce a magnetic field for operation; however it does not perform any real work. • Apparent Power is the vector sum of Real and Reactive Power and corresponds to the total power required to produce the equivalent amount of real power for the load. Power Factor Correction may be required where a system has a power factor of less than 90% (or 0.9). A poor power factor can contribute to equipment instability and failure, as well as significantly higher than necessary energy costs since it means that more current is required to perform the same amount of work. By optimising and improving the power factor, the demand on the electricity distribution system is reduced. Power Factor Correction equipment achieves a decrease in the total amount of electrical demand by using a bank of capacitors to offset an inductive load (or reactors if the load is capacitive).
