Harmonics Analysis of Inverter Circuits on Smart Grid System

Abstract

Abstract Smart Grid System has Harmonics Distortions. Caused when switching inverters convert DC current into AC that lowers power quality and affects power generation system. Interference occurs in sinusoidal wavelengths of voltage or system currents that have frequency multiples of fundamental frequencies. Therefore, analysis is required based on IEEE Std 519-2014 standard which is for 20kV Bus voltage has a limit value of 3% for VIHD and 5% for VTHD, using ETAP software was conducted simulating the condition of the non-grid bus system has a VTHD value of 4.9%, while the on-grid system conditions that have inverters for buses have a VTHD value of 5.81%, and simulations before passive filters are installed in the 5th order (f = 250 Hz) with a VTHD value of 6.33%; VIHD 4.82% after installing passive filter VTHD value 1.88 %; VIHD 0.00 %, while in the 7th order (f=350 Hz) the VTHD value is 6.33%; VIHD3.33 % after installing passive filter VTHD value 1.88%; VIHD 0.00%. The passive filter used is a single tuned passive filter. Change the PF (Power Factor) value before filtering is installed on the distribution bus = 82.9%, after the passive filter installed is 88.1%.
