Research Abstract |
The serious status of harmonic pollution in Japan has been reported : The maximum value of 5th harmonic voltage in the downtown area of a 6.6-kV power distribution system exceeds 7% under light-load conditions at night. These observations, which are based on the actual measurements, suggest that the increase of 5th harmonic voltage on the 6.6-kV bus at night is due to "harmonic propagation" resulting from harmonic resonance between line inductors and shunt capacitors installed on the distribution system for power factor correction. The investigators have achieved comprehensive research on networked autonomous control of two fully-digital-controlled shunt active filters based on voltage detection for harmonic damping throughout a power distribution system. Each active filter is controlled in such a way as to present infinite impedance to the external circuit for the fundamental frequency, and as to exhibit a low resistance for harmonic frequencies. A power distribution system consisting of two feeders has been designed and constructed, where each feeder is rated at 200 V.and 40 kW, The distribution system was used to verify the practical viability and justification of the networked-autonomous-controlled active filters. Experimental results obtained from the laboratory system, along with theoretical results, have shown the effectiveness of the active filters, leading to its significant applicability to a real power distribution system which is subject to harmonic propagation as a result of harmonic resonance.
