Harmonic effects determination and analysis in reactive power systems

The ease of production, distribution, measurement and control of electricity, and high conversion efficiency make it widespread today. Over time, population growth and the development of the industry caused an increase in demand for the use of electricity. The increased demand for the use of electricity has necessitated the improvement of the existing infrastructure and the more efficient use of electricity in electricity generation and distribution. Reactive power systems are used in electric power systems for more efficient use of the existing substructure. By using reactive power systems, it is ensured that the reactive power balance is kept at the desired level. The fact that the reactive power balance remains at the desired level increases the capacity utilization in energy transmission lines and reduces voltage drops. This allows more efficient use of electrical energy. Harmonics generated by using non-linear loads or semiconductor sources in electrical power systems cause damage to equipment used in reactive power systems and cause the system to fail to function efficiently. In order to avoid this harmonic problem, filtration is carried out in reactive systems. In this thesis study, Energy Quality Analyzer Measurements and Analysis analyze the effects of harmonics on reactive power systems have been investigated.
