Estimation and Analysis of Harmonics in a Bus System

Abstract

Harmonics play an important role in regressing of the power quality. Generally harmonics are generated due to the presence of nonlinear loads and this can counter effect on the system. This paper deals with the estimation and analysis of harmonics in a power line network. In order to estimate the effect, the harmonics are been introduced for the bus system and harmonics analysis is been done. To mitigate the harmonics we use harmonic filters. We are using MiPower software to resolve this problem as this software has no limit on the number of buses in the system and is highly interactive. In this project, five bus systems is designed using MiPower software where harmonics have been injected to the buses and its effects are studied.
