Relationships between Harmonic Characteristics and Different Types of Voltage Source

This paper discusses about harmonic characteristics due to different types of voltage sources. Ideal voltage source is sinusoid, unfortunately in actual condition load receives voltage sources from elements which produce the non sinusoidal output voltage, and consequently, the load has non pure sinusoid waveform as an input voltage. Voltage source at power of common coupling (PCC) between transformer and linear load and nonlinear load has become an example of the case. This research has been conducted by using Schhafner Power Quality Analyzer and PM300 Power Quality Analyzer, which was focused to figure out all characteristics related to harmonics such as power, voltage, current, power factor (p.f.), Harmonic Distortion, and harmonic energy losses cost. The selected load is induction motor with Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD) because this typical load is one of electronic device that causes harmonics. The voltage sources in this research are sine wave, square wave and harmonic order combinations of 3, 5 and 7 which can create from Schhafner Power Quality Analyzer.


Introduction
Generally, voltage sources used to serve the load is sine wave.The improvement of voltage source is to increase the quality of voltage sources and as a result the characteristics of harmonic will better.For example, methods of cascaded multilevel inverter (CMLI), can improve power quality and a new DC voltage progression where the progression based on sine quantization method (SQM), which improve the amplitude of CMLI output voltage, this paper proposes to determine a sequence of DC voltages from discrete amplitudes of sine wave function.The method also collaborates with step equal residual area method (SERAM) to minimized total harmonics distortions (THD) [1].And a simple method for selecting the best conductive angle based on power factor of load in three phase six-switch inverters is proposed.Conductive angle from 120º to 180º, and power factor from 0 to 1 are changed for lead and lag loads.Then RMS and THD values of the output voltage are studied.Simulation results show that a special conductive angle for each specific power factor has to be used to improve the mentioned indices and applying conventional conductive angles 120º, 180º and 150º in some power factors increases THD and RMS of output voltage.decreases[2].This is a novel Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) in conjunction with Phase Locked Loop (PLL) based shunt active filter for Power Line Conditioners (PLCs) to improve the power quality in the distribution system.The active filter is implemented with current controlled Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) for compensating current harmonics and reactive power at the point of common coupling.The VSI gate control switching pulses are derived from proposed Adaptive-Fuzzy-Hysteresis Current Controller (HCC) and this method calculates the hysteresis bandwidth effectively using fuzzy logic [3].All of this method used sine wave as voltage sources.
Because this research discusses the kinds of voltage sources used to serve the load, such as sine wave, square wave and the combination of the harmonics order, so it is necessary to discuss about Fourier series.To analyse the harmonics, application of the Fourier series is appropriate.Actually, Fourier series is a periodic function can be written as sums of infinitely many sine and cosine functions of different frequencies [1] R.J. Beerends et al (2003), often expressed in terms of the angular frequency.Harmonic waveform distortion is one of the most important issues today.This paper discusses about investigation of harmonic effects due to harmonic types of voltage source, where voltage sources are a few types of harmonic waveforms.The meaning of voltage source as harmonic 3 rd , 5 th and 7 th combinations is voltage that is created by Schhafner Power Quality Analyser.With Fourier series [2][3][4] the function of (t) can be expressed as: ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) Harmonic 37: .
This case is a part of the system, where if a Point of Common Coupling (PCC) of one compontent nonlinear load become voltage source to another nonlinear load.In this research, the load is Induction Motor with Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD) which is supplied with Sine waveform, Square wave and Harmonic 3 rd , 5 th , and 7 th combination waveform.The presence of harmonic distortion in the applied voltage to a motor will both increase electrical losses and decrease efficiency.These losses will increase motor temperature, resulting in even further losses [5] These currents passing through the system impedance cause voltage drops for each individual harmonic, resulting in distortion of the voltage's waveform.The effect of harmonic distortion of the voltage waveform due to impacts motor performance as p.f. IHD and THD for current and voltage, and energy losses due to harmonic [6][7][8].This research is focused on harmonics problem because attention to the quality of electrical power is very important to the issue of voltage distortion-a major form of which is harmonic distortion [9].
One of the main harmonic characteristics is power factor (p.f.).This is a measure of how effectively a specific load consumes electricity to produce work.The higher of power factor, the more work produced for a given voltage and current.The relationships vector between power and power factor to explain about power factor is shown in Figure 1.
True power factor = (Displacement p.f) x (Distortion p.f.) The others characteristic of harmonic are: The values of V rms I rms, Power (P), were calculated directly from the harmonic components obtained with a Fast Fourier Transform of the sampled data of the voltage and current waveforms of the Induction Motor under tests.These quantities were calculated as: [5] where V h , I h φ h are magnitudes and phase shift of the voltage and current, h order harmonic.
The factor that measures the distortion in the non sinusoidal wave is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) where this factor is defined for both voltage and current as below:

Research Method
From the measurement of Induction Motor with Shaffner [10], where the voltage source to load is variable, the models are: sinusoidal, square and a few harmonics waveforms.And the load is a three phase induction motor.These experiments are done, because to investigated the effect of voltage source types of harmonic to serve load, because at any PCC in power system, the load maybe find the source not pure sinusoidal, for example from secondary of transformer.The main characteristic of harmonics are Individual Harmonic Distortion (IHD) for 3 rd ,5 th and 7 th , Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for voltage and current, Power losses due to harmonics, power factor, Cress factor for each harmonics, I rms , V rms .The measurements are done with voltage sources variable from 160 V until 240 V.The types of voltage source from the combination of harmonic order 3 rd , 5 th and 7 th as Figure 2. The Induction motor specifications are: 3 phase, 1.5 Hp, 50 Hz, 1370 rpm, 4 poles.The measurements have been done with ASD.In this research, the main characteristics of the induction motor were measured related to harmonic due to variable voltage source.
