The authors proposed a scheme of autonomous power supply for oil leakage detection systems in pipelines by applying the photovoltaic modules and thermoelectric generators as a power source. Laboratory experimental studies were carried out, the operating energy characteristics of the complex were obtained. A sufficient number of generating units has been determined for uninterrupted power supply to the data collection point of the oil leakage detection system.

This paper deals with the issues of computation of the nonlinear load harmonic currents in the presence of external distortions based on the real measurements with help of passive harmonic. Such values are necessary when modeling an equivalent nonlinear load as current sources in the presence of external distortions. The passive filter allows to separate external and internal distortions, which is necessary when determining the harmonic currents of a single consumer. The influence of various parameters on the computation of harmonic currents of a nonlinear load, such as the parameters of a passive harmonic filter, the impedance of the power supply transformer, the load parameters of the consumer, taking into account the harmonic generation from the grid side, and from the consumer side, is considered. It is shown that an external source of distortion has practically no effect on the error in estimating the harmonic current magnitudes of a nonlinear load. The obtained simulation results were confirmed experimentally on a laboratory test bench. Recommendations for the selection of passive harmonic filter parameters have been developed to minimize the error in determining the harmonic current magnitudes of a nonlinear load.
