Abstract

Harmonic current load style causes non-sinusoidal voltage distortion. Harmonic distortion is thought to be inherent in nonlinear control systems. The harmonics created by nonlinear loads can cause additional damages, overheating, and interfere with most notably with capacitors, transformers, and motors. The primary goal of this paper is to study a specific active harmonizer. Relatively brief issue, we use the short-cut solution. We use the Matlab/Simulink kit to simulate the device. The first section of the paper discusses the issues of harmonic distortion and their ramifications on electric efficiency, followed by a section describing how the power filter deals with them, and a section on how Matlab analyses and verifies the effects. The proposed filter produces an appropriate level of harmonic distortion.
