Outcomes of Harmonics & Its Reduction Techniques: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract- This paper describes that concept of harmonics in the power systems and explains the different methods to reduce the harmonics problems. In the power system due to use of highly nonlinear devices harmonics are generated and it reduce the performance of the power systems. Thus it is necessary to examine and evaluate the different harmonic problems in the power system and introduce the suitable solution techniques. This paper firstly examine the propagation of harmonic current and voltage in the power system network and appreciate their consequences on both utility system equipments and end user components. Throughout the examine of harmonic wave forms and idea about cancellation, effective methods have been introduced by the application of filter. Base on harmonic distortion the filter has been designed and added to the panels to degrade the harmonic distortion
