A Study on the Harmonics Reduction using Phase Shifting Transformer in a Electric Power Distribution System |
Abstract |
The increasing use of non-linear loads such as power electronics draw highly distorted currents from the utility system. High harmonics current, and voltages will cause equipment damage and disturb the plant operation. The application of phase shifting transformers can be a very cost-effective method of harmonic treatment where multiple harmonic sources are in operation. In this paper simulation results used the EDSA harmonics analysis program verifying the effects of a phase shifting transformer for harmonic elimination are presented. |
