Power Quality Improvement, Harmonic Elimination and Load Balancing in Industrial Power System

Non linear loads are increasingly more abundant in commercial, residential and industrial sector and their percentage of the total load are growing steadily. The increasing uses of non linear loads are becoming more harmonic problems at utilities and customers sides. The harmonic problems cause damage of system equipment and low power quality. The most appropriate solution to mitigate this issue is passive filter. Passive filters are typically composed by inductors, capacitors and resistors which are used for mitigating harmonic distortions, power factor correction and improving power quality. In this paper, simulation models are implemented for mitigating harmonic distortions by applying passive filter at No 3 .Steel Mill Ywama, Yangon in distribution system. Passive filters are installing at point of common coupling PCC of 11kV feeder in distribution system to reduce the harmonic distortion within IEEE 519 1992 standards. THD is used as the harmonic index to study the effect of harmonic distortions. In this paper, the performance of the designed filter in this network and THD are obtained from simulation using MATLAB.
