Optimal design of single-tuned passive filters using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract

-This paper presents an approach based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to find the optimal parameters of the single-tuned passive filters for harmonic mitigation. The main advantages of RSM can be underlined as easy implementation and effective computation. Using RSM, the single-tuned harmonic filter is designed to minimize voltage total harmonic distortion (THDV) and current total harmonic distortion (THDI). Power factor (PF) is also incorporated in the design procedure as a constraint. To show the validity of the proposed approach, RSM and Classical Direct Search (Grid Search) methods are evaluated for a typical industrial power system.

Algorithm for estimating derating of induction motors supplied with under/over unbalanced voltages using response surface methodology

“…RSM is a statistical technique that can be employed to find the mathematical relationships between the outputs (responses) and the inputs of a process with minimum number of experiments [24, 28, 29]. The experimentation is the employment of treatments to experimental units to measure one or more responses for gathering information about how a system (or particular process) works.…”

Design and Optimisation of a Simple Filter Group for Reactive Power Distribution

“…They try to answer this question in different ways. They specify different optimality criteria and apply different optimisation tools [1,6,[14][15][16][17][18] including methods of artificial intelligence [19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Harmonics Mitigation Based on the Minimization of Non-Linearity Current in a Power System

“…A single tuned passive filter compensator has been demonstrated to be an effective method of improving the power factor, as well as reducing power losses and decreasing voltage distortion to acceptable levels [22,23]. However, the design of passive power filters should be handled with caution as it is not a straightforward problem due to the contradictory requirements in power factor specifications, voltage total harmonic distortion (VTHD), and current total harmonic distortion (ITHD) [24].…”

“…A typical industrial power system, such as the one given in Figure 2, is considered to describe a novel approach based on NLCI. The configuration used is similar to that used for a single-line design of single-tuned passive filters using the response surface methodology [24], it comprises a transformer, the consumer loads (which include both linear and nonlinear loads) and the STPF filter connected to the PCC. Figure 3 describes the single-phase equivalent circuit of the industrial system under study with the novel shunt STPF providing compensation.…”
