Efficiency of the balancing devices to power quality improve

Violation of the symmetrical mode of operation of the electric network causes a deterioration in the quality of electric energy and significantly reduces the reliability of the functioning of electrical equipment and elements of the electric network. A mathematical model of an electrical network with a grounded neutral is proposed аnd a software package that allows us to evaluate the level of voltage asymmetry of a three-phase system depending on the changing unbalanced load was created. The simulation and calculation of the studied parameters for various combinations of loads and the technical means of balancing the operating mode of the electric network (the balancing device – BD) is carried out. Programs for the Matlab graphic editor are compiled and diagrams of changes in electricity quality indicators are constructed. A numerical analysis is carried out and recommendations are given to determine the most appropriate place for connecting the BD in the electrical network to improve the quality of electricity based on the calculation made
