In this work, the expression of the phasor of apparent power of harmonic distortion is formulated in the time domain. Applying this phasor along with the phasor of apparent unbalance power allows us to obtain a new set of phasors that include all of the inefficient power components appearing in the transfer of energy in non-linear and unbalanced systems. In this manner, a new model of inefficient power in electrical systems is developed. For each voltage harmonic of order ‘m’ and current harmonic of order ‘n’, a phasor of harmonic apparent power is obtained. Accuracy in the determination of the total apparent power of a system depends on the number of harmonics considered. Each phasor of apparent harmonic power is formed from six mutually orthogonal parameters or components that are calculated from the harmonic voltages at the nodes of the network and the circulating harmonic currents. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed formulation, a four-wire non-linear system formed by two nodes is assessed.

This paper presents the simulation-based study and results of a three-phase shunt active power filter (SAPF) for power quality improvement. The power quality of the power systems is degraded because of the presence of non-linear loads at the consumer end. The SAPF can reduce the impact of harmonics caused by the non-linear loads. The analyzed SAPF system is modeled and simulated using MATLAB-Simulink workspace. The ultimate goal of this study is to improve the total harmonic distortion of the system as per the standards defined by IEEE-519.

Wind power and solar energy power are clean, abundant and renewable. Wind power and photovoltaic power are important alternative energy in the world, which will contribute to adjusting energy structures and protecting environments. The genetic algorithm has the characteristics of automatic optimization and approaches the simulate stuff illimitably. Also, there has no use for accurate model on questions, which is very suitable in the non-linear system. The wind/photovoltaic hybrid systems consist with wind power generation units, photovoltaic matrix, storage battery, diesel engine and data collection and control. This paper optimized the wind/photovoltaic hybrid system using genetic algorithm. The result showed the efficiency of this algorithm in the design of this kind of non-linear system. On the other hand, this hybrid system is strongly non-linear when is running. Finally, abundant operating expenses and maintains expenses will be saved by using genetic algorithm in its dynamic management according to the change of load, wind power and irradiation.

Abstract With the transformation of power utility companies from vertical structure to full deregulated entities, the need for the integration of distributed generation (DG) resource in the form of Microgrid (MG) system would soon become indispensable in most deregulated power systems. This is due to renewability of such generation systems. The power quality performance in terms of intermittent energy of these DG systems supply is the major limitation to their full integration as the sole generation entities that can propel rapid decentralization of electric power systems operation. Nonetheless, the acceptable standard is to operate them in an islanding mode or as a MG optimally dispatch among generation mix. This paper developed a total harmonic distortion models for a Microgrid bus in a Nigerian grid system and applied Monte Carlo technique to reliably predict the level of harmonic power flow in the system. The result shows that the distortion increases as the demand factor of the station decreases.

Due to the rapid advancement in power electronic devices in recent years, there is a fast growth of non-linear loads in distribution networks (DNs). These non-linear loads can cause harmonic pollution in the networks. The harmonic pollution is low, and the resonance problem is absent in distribution static synchronous compensators (D-STATCOM), which is the not case in traditional compensating devices such as capacitors. The power quality issue can be enhanced in DNs with the interfacing of D-STATCOM devices. A novel three-phase harmonic power flow algorithm (HPFA) for unbalanced radial distribution networks (URDN) with the existence of linear and non-linear loads and the integration of a D-STATCOM device is presented in this paper. The bus number matrix (BNM) and branch number matrix (BRNM) are developed in this paper by exploiting the radial topology in DNs. These matrices make the development of HPFA simple. Without D-STATCOM integration, the accuracy of the fundamental power flow solution and harmonic power flow solution are tested on IEEE−13 bus URDN, and the results are found to be precise with the existing work. Test studies are conducted on the IEEE−13 bus and the IEEE−34 bus URDN with interfacing D-STATCOM devices, and the results show that the fundamental r.m.s voltage profile is improved and the fundamental harmonic power loss and total harmonic distortion (THD) are reduced.

In this research the seismic response of structures isolated at the base by means of High Damping Laminated Rubber Bearings (HDRB) is evaluated. The analysis is performed by using a stochastic approach and a Gaussian zero mean non stationary stochastic process is used in order to model the seismic acceleration acting at the base of the structure. In order to take into account of the non-linear constitutive behavior both of the base isolation device and of the structure, the hysteretic differential Bouc-Wen model (BWM) is adopted. Moreover, the stochastic linearization method in the time domain is adopted to estimate the statistical moments of the non-linear system response in the state space. After estimating the system response variance a sensitivity analysis is carried out. The final aim of the research is to asses the real capacity of base isolation devices in order to protect the structures from seismic actions, by avoiding a non-linear response with associated large plastic displacements, and, therefore, by limiting related damage phenomena in structural and non structural members. In order to achieve this objective the stochastic response of a non-linear n-dof shear-type base isolated building is analyzed. The protection level offered to the structure by the base isolators is then assessed by evaluating the reduction both of the displacement response and the hysteretic dissipated energy.

Harmonic distortion is one of the disturbances that most affects the quality of the electrical system. The widespread use of power electronic systems, especially power converters, has increased harmonic and interharmonic emission in a wide range of frequencies. Therefore, there are new needs in the measurement of harmonic distortion in modern electrical systems, such as measurement in the supra-harmonic range (>2 kHz) and the measurement of interharmonics. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards define new total harmonic distortion (THD) rates based on the concept of frequency groupings. However, the rates defined in the IEC standards have shortcomings when measuring signals such as those present in the outputs of power systems with abundant interharmonic content and presence of components in the supra-harmonic range. Therefore, in this work, a comparison is made between the different THD factors currently defined, both in the literature and in the standards, to show which of them are the most suitable for assessing harmonic and interharmonic contamination in power system signals such as those present at the output of inverters.

<span lang="EN-US">One of the most important and common parts of the modern power systems is the grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. Recently, these systems have gotten a big revolution due to the introduction of the transformerless inverters. It has the merits of small size, low cost, and high efficiency. However, transformerless inverters has a general safety problem related to the earth leakage current. Various researches were directed toward evolving their performance and diminishing the leakage current to the standard limits. This article proposes an application of the H7 controller to a PV powered grid-tied three phase transformerless inverter. The transformerless inverter is linked with the grid through a boost converter. The boost converter inductance is rearranged and divided to reduce the earth leakage current of the system. simulations are carried out for the proposed H7 PV grid-tied system and for a system that uses the conventional three phase inverter. The simulation results show that the H7 inverter provides lower leakage current, higher efficiency, and lower total harmonic distortion (THD) compared to the conventional three phase inverter.</span>
