Power Quality Improvement Using Smart Harmonic Analysis Indicator Technique for IEEE 15-Bus Radial Distribution System

The aim of this study is to investigate power quality problems of a distribution system network with the help of reform harmonic analysis and reporting techniques. Increasing higher frequency component (10-250) kHz due to large number of non-linear load at different sites make many researcher to developed a significant topology to represent a collected and measured data from different Power quality metering instrument in a simple understandable way. This study will establish a significant methodology to help in describing a vast amount of an individual harmonic order detail to a simple number of indicator or graphical illustration which can be used to rank different load site performance in order for required attention by implementing various mitigation techniques. Lastly, a MATLAB/Simulink model for the IEEE 15-bus radial distribution system is investigated to implement the proposed methodology using raw data for analysis and reporting.
