This paper provides a study of the benefits and improvements in electrical power quality obtained by filtering harmonic pollution. A continuous 7-day measurement by a network analyzer at the secondary level of a higher education institution's transformer proved the existence of important harmonic pollution. We proposed to attenuate these harmonics by installing passive filters at the general circuit breaker. The simulations were carried out with Matlab/Simulink software, based on a set of data measured by the network analyzer. This harmonic pollution-filtering project will improve the quality of power and make significant energy savings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
