Control of Harmonic Distortion: 4 Methods | Electrical Engineering

The following points highlight the four main methods used for controlling harmonic distortion in power system. The methods are: 1. Constant Frequency Control 2. Constant Tolerance Band Control 3. Variable Tolerance Band Control 4. Discontinuous Current Control. Method # 1. Constant Frequency Control: A usage of frequency controlled drives with AC motors (like asynchronous or synchronous) increased in last few [...]

Controlling Harmonic Distortion: 4 Devices | Electrical Engineering

There are a number of devices available to control harmonic distortion. They can be as simple as a capacitor bank or a line reactor, or as complex as an active filter. A simple mitigation action such as adding, resizing, or relocating a shunt capacitor bank can effectively modify an unfavorable system frequency response, and thus bring the harmonic distortion to [...]
