DEFİNİTİON OF POWER QUALİTY

Power quality is the set of limits of electrical properties that allows electrical systems to function in their intended manner without significant loss of performance or life

Reliable Mains:Magnitude (Rated Voltage)Frequency (50 Hz)SustainabilityStability

DEFİNİTİON OF HARMONİC COMPONENTS All of the signals can be represented as

the summation of sinusoidal signals of various frequencies.

DEFİNİTİON OF HARMONİC COMPONENTS In Power Systems, harmonics appear on the

current signals. Motor Drives, Soft Starters, UPS Power Electronic Converters Industrial Loads, Single Phase Loads AC to DC Converters (Rectifiers)

are typical harmonic current sources. Current Harmonics,which reduces the

power quality, are harmful for vulnerable loads. It distorts mains voltage.

Electronic Devices Motors Illumination Systems

ELİMİNATİON OF CURRENT HARMONİCS Vulnerable loads should be isolated from

the harmonic sources. Power System transmission lines and

transformers are over-loaded. Electromagnetic noises in systems.

So, current harmonics should be eliminated

PASSIVE FILTERS

Pasive Filters are composed of passive circuit elements such as resistor,capacitor and inductor

For Passive Filters, the aim is to adjust the resonance frequency of the filter to desired harmonic elimination.

PASSİVE FİLTERS

ACTİVE POWER FİLTERS

Active Power Filters are simply power electronic converters, specifically designed to inject harmonic currents to the system.

VOLTAGE SOURCED ACTİVE POWER FİLTER Voltage sourced active filters creates AC

voltage at its output terminal. Voltage sourced active filters use

capacitor (voltage sink) for DC Link. The output filter should be an inductor.

ACTİVE VS PASSİVE FİLTERS

Passive Filters Cheap, Easy design,Reliable,High Efficiency

BUT Resonance Problems, Tuning for fixed frequency Fixed Reactive Power Compensation, Large Size

Active Filters No resonance problems, Can eliminate any

harmonics (no tuning), Voltage regulation, Reactive Power Compensation,Reliable Operation BUT

Expensive, Complex control systems
