Simulation of Harmonics Filters To Reduce Harmonics Distortion By Using MATLAB

Description

Harmonics are one of the major power quality concerns. They are non-sinusoidal waveforms which are nth times of fundamental frequency. Harmonics are mainly caused by non-linear loads because they draw distorted current waveform when supply voltage is sinusoidal waveform. Harmonic filters can be mainly classified into two: passive filtering techniques and active filtering techniques. The purpose of this project is to help users of electric power to understand harmonic distortion and its sources, to recognize if it is present and to take steps to reduce it or minimize its effects. Then the analysis of harmonic problem in power supply system is become easily possible by developing the MATLAB Simulation Model.
