Abstract

As every industry becomes increasingly internationalized, the quality of energy has been changing year after year. Because technology is now going towards digital, electrical equipment is in lesser demand than digital equipment. Engineers, on the other hand, are attracted to electrical disturbances or harmonics. Harmonics may reduce or affect electrical network efficiency; therefore power engineers are concerned with harmonics and harmonic reduction methods. The use of power electronics, which is also responsible for harmonic production, has increased the number of power system applications in daily life. There are two kinds of loads in an electrical circuit: nonlinear and linear. Nonlinear loads cause zero sequence current, also known as harmonics current, which is produced in the neutral conductor and may disturb the circuit's waveform by affecting the voltage and current levels. Harmonics are a serious problem that may be solved by using the right filters and voltage current ratings. Many components of the electrical network use filters, such as LC filters, to neutralize zero sequence harmonics and certain other harmonics present in the system, increasing power factor rating. Harmonic distortion is discussed in this article, as well as techniques for minimizing it.
