Abstract: The electric power systems operate on frequencies of 50 Hz or 60Hz. Different types of loads produce

current and voltage waveforms with frequencies that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency (50 or 60

Hz) which produce electrical pollution known as power system harmonics. Today the use of power electronic devices

has increased manifold. Mostly power electronic devices are non linear in nature. The main sources of harmonics

are power semiconductor devices, electric furnaces, fluorescent lamps, rotating machines, saturated devices like

transformers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and adjustable speed drives (ASDs) in modern industry. The

processes of cement industry and textile industry with the excessive use of non-linear loads have an impact on the

power quality of the connected electric network. Harmonic distortion is a very significant phenomenon that affects

the plant distribution network as well as grid performance [7].In this paper, harmonic distortion produced by

variable frequency drives has been analyzed by simulating these drives on two standard test systems of IEEE 6 bus

1. INTRODUCTION

In the modern power system, the use of power electronic devices is increasing day by day which

are non-linear loads that create power quality issues. These power electronic devices are

commonly used for printers, variable frequency drives, air conditioners, computers, power

electronic converters, inverters, adjustable speed drives, welding machines, uninterruptible

power supplies (UPS), arcing devices, electric oven, furnaces, switched mode power supplies,

saturation devices such as transformers, rotating devices, etc. All power electronic devices are

the main cause of non-linear loads, which cause many power quality problems in electrical

power systems. Non-liner loads produce non -sinusoidal waveform that results in a distorted

current waveform and distorted voltage waveform and also draws a large amount of reactive

power (VARs). Due to the wide use of non-linear loads in the industrial, residential, and

commercial areas, power quality issues have become more important. Total harmonic distortion

(THD) can be defined as the ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic components to the

power of the fundamental frequency component and is a measurement of the harmonic

distortion present in a fundamental signal.

2. VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES

The adjustable speed drive system is necessary for controlling the speed and torque of AC

motor by changing frequency and input voltage for both electrical and mechanical systems. This

system is called as variable frequency drives. Variable frequency drives are connected with

motor loads for controlling speed of the motor. The motor load consumes about25% of the

world's energy. Variable frequency drives use power electronic devices that are main cause of

Page 2: ANALYSIS OF HARMONIC DISTORTION DUE TO VARIABLE FREQUENCY ...

harmonic distortion [1]. In the modern industry, these devices are utilized with important loads

for their working [15]. VFDs have large number of advantages like speed control of motors,

energy saving and starting current limitation of motor etc. These devices are considered as the

harmonic sources as well as inter harmonic sources. VFDs consist of three stages such as

rectifier stage, inverter stage and control stage. The block diagram of VFD is shown in Figure1

[16].

Figure 1: Block diagram of variable frequency drive

To get a variable frequency voltage, the AC voltage available at a fixed frequency is first

converted to DC voltage with the help of a rectifier. Then an inverter is used to convert this DC

voltage to AC voltage at the desired frequency and voltage level. The amount of harmonic

distortion depends on the design of filters and inverters. In Figure 1, a variable frequency drive

system has been connected with three phase motor load. The control system is used to control

the output voltage at desired levels. Basically the control system is an electronic circuit that

takes the feedback information from load (three phase motor load) and controls the output

voltage and frequency to a desired level [8].

In the present study, the analysis of the harmonic distortion produced by the use of variable

frequency drives has been done by applying these VFD systems for standard test systems of

IEEE 6 bus and IEEE 9 bus as presented in the following sections.

From the Table 10, it is observed that the total harmonic distortion has been reduced by about 13%

- 23% with the use of single tuned filter as compared to without using it. Also higher order

harmonics, such as; 11th, 17th,19th, 23rd,25th,29th,31st,35th,37th, 41st,43rd,47th,49th are reduced due to

the use of single tuned filter.

12. CONCLUSION

In this paper, analysis of harmonics produced due to variable frequency drives has been done by

simulating these drives on IEEE 6 bus system and IEEE 9 bus system by using ETAP software.

Total harmonic distortion and harmonic order has been analyzed with and without variable

frequency drives. Then an attempt has been made to reduce the harmonics with the help of tuned

filters.
