In modern power systems, the increasing use of power electronic devices like variable frequency drives (VFDs), arc furnaces, and switched-mode power supplies has led to rising levels of harmonic distortion. These harmonics can severely impact system operation, causing overheating, tripping of circuit breakers, and reduced energy efficiency. At YT Electric , we faced these challenges head-on by implementing Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) to ensure compliance with IEEE 519 standards and improve overall power quality. This case study explores how AHFs helped us reduce harmonic distortion levels, enhance power distribution, and achieve significant energy savings. The Problem: Our facility, which relies heavily on non-linear loads such as arc furnaces and power supplies, experienced:   High Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Exceeding IEEE 519 limits, leading to voltage uncertainty.   Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breakers: Causing unplanned downtime and disrupting system operation.   Overheating of Components: Transformers, cables, and other electrical systems were overheating due to harmonic currents.   Poor Power Factor: Low power factor resulted in penalties from the utility provider.   Reactive Power Issues: Inefficient power distribution and increased energy costs.     We needed a solution to mitigate harmonics and improve power quality without compromising system reliability. Why Active Harmonic Filters (AHF)? After evaluating various harmonic compensation methods, we chose AHFs for their:   Dynamic Harmonic Compensation: AHFs detect and cancel out harmonics in real-time, ensuring clean power.   Wide Frequency Range: They address harmonics from the 2nd to the 50th order, covering a broad spectrum.   Power Factor Correction: AHFs improve power factor, reducing reactive power and energy costs.   Compliance with IEEE 519: AHFs help maintain harmonic distortion levels within permissible limits.     Implementation: Power Quality Analysis: We conducted a detailed assessment of our electrical systems to identify harmonic sources and measure THD.   System Design:  Following the analysis, we strategically installed AHF units at key points within the power distribution network to target harmonic sources effectively.

There are a number of electrical devices that have nonlinear operating characteristics i.e even when applied voltage is sinusoidal in nature, the current drawn by the device is non-sinusoidal in nature. These nonlinear devices used in power distribution circuits create nonlinear currents and which subsequently causes voltage distortions. These nonlinear currents and voltages have been generally referred to as harmonic currents and voltages. The proliferation of electronic switching devices in modern equipment has resulted in a significant increase in the amount of harmonic pollution in the electrical distribution systems. These harmonics if disregarded or undetected may cause harmonic resonant conditions, which could present system operating problems resulting in complaints from customers and reduced life of power equipment as well as degraded efficiency and performance. Harmonic currents and voltages can cause many unfavourable effects on the power system itself and the connected loads. Malfunctioning of electronic equipment, capacitor failure, transformer and neutral conductor over overheating, excessive heating in rotating machinery are some of these effects.   The Background Zhenjiang Naisi New Material Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the production and sales of new ultra-hard composite wear-resistant cutting wires, photovoltaic wire cutting wheel recycling coating process processing, production of steel cords, technical services and testing services for the above products, self-operated and acting for the import and export business of various commodities and technologies (except for commodities and technologies that are restricted by the state or prohibited from import and export), sales of silicon materials.   The PQ Problem Due to the Harmonic Voltage and Harmonics Current in the old factory building of the customer, the capacitors are often damaged, so the need for harmonic mitigation is generated.   The YT Solution In view of the high current distortion rate (High THDi)and voltage distortion rate(THDv) in the field, installing an Active Harmonic Filter at the low-voltage side can reduce Current Harmonics (THDi) and Voltage Harmonics accordingly.   The Performance There are some harmonic problems in Building 3 of Shanghai Tongren Hospital.
