Abstract

This paper presents the power quality (PQ) improvement in radial distribution system (RDS) by placing active filter (AF). The harmonics is the cause of poor PQ. AF is used to reduce the harmonics injected by nonlinear load (NL) into RDS. The simulation is done on IEEE-69 bus system. The NL is connected in RDS. The THDv is calculated using harmonic load flow at all the buses of RDs. By proper placement of AF the cost of AF is reduced. To find the AF current which is required to limit the IEEE standards, differential algorithm (DE) is utilized. DE has found the minimum required AF current such that it limits the harmonics up to standard limit. Simulation results show the effectiveness of DE for improvement in power quality in RDS.
