Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are widely used in buildings to mitigate harmonic distortion caused by non-linear loads, ensuring power quality, energy efficiency, and compliance with standards like IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-6. Here are key applications of AHFs in buildings:
 |
 |
Loads: LED lighting, VFDs (HVAC systems), elevators, UPS systems, IT equipment (servers, PCs), and switch-mode power supplies.
Issues: High 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonics from electronic devices.
Solution: AHFs reduce THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) to <5%, preventing overheating of neutral conductors and transformer losses.
Loads: Medical imaging equipment (MRI, CT scanners), lab devices, and sensitive electronic systems.
Issues: Harmonics disrupt precision equipment and cause voltage fluctuations.
Solution: AHFs ensure clean power, avoiding interference with medical devices and improving reliability.
Loads: Servers, cooling systems (VFD-driven chillers), UPS, and PDUs.
Issues: Harmonics increase losses, reduce PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), and risk downtime.
Solution: Active Harmonic Filters improve energy efficiency and protect critical IT infrastructure.
Loads: Kitchen equipment (induction cooktops), HVAC, elevators, and LED lighting.
Issues: Harmonic pollution leads to higher energy bills and equipment failure.
Solution: AHFs enhance power quality, reducing maintenance costs.
Loads: Escalators, POS systems, lighting, and HVAC.
Issues: Neutral current overload due to triplen harmonics (3rd, 9th).
Solution: AHFs balance loads and prevent neutral overheating.
Loads: Computer labs, LED lighting, and HVAC systems.
Issues: Harmonics affect sensitive lab equipment and increase energy waste.
Solution: AHFs improve power stability for research equipment.
THD Reduction: Maintains harmonics within IEEE 519 limits (<5% voltage THD, <8% current THD).
Energy Savings: Reduces losses in transformers and cables.
Equipment Protection: Prevents overheating and premature failure.
Compliance: Meets IEC/EN 61000-3-12 and other power quality standards.
Dynamic Response: Instantly adapts to varying harmonic loads.
Place Active Harmonic Filter near harmonic sources (e.g., VFD panels).
Size the AHF based on harmonic measurements (use power analyzers).
Consider hybrid solutions (passive + active filters) for cost efficiency.
