One filter can compensate multiple harmonics simultaneously Suitability Not suitable in case of more voltage distortion and current distortion Performance varies over frequency variation and variation in voltage distortion. Performance is dependent on load level Performance remains constant over frequency and voltage variation. Suitable in any type of environment Resonance Possibility of resonance. This results in premature failure of capacitor. Possibility of resonance if tuned at higher frequency. Performance depends on source impedance No possibility of resonance. Stable operation Size and weight Bulky in size Bulky in size when multiple harmonics are to be compensated Light weight. Size does not change even if required to compensate more harmonics Life Limited life in case of more voltage and current harmonics More life as compared to capacitor filter Longer life, since performance remains constant and resonance is avoided Cost Cheap Costlier as compared to capacitor filter Initial cost is more as compared to both the filters No load condition Imposes capacitive PF when load is reduced. Contactors are required to compensate for leading pf. Imposes leading PF at fundamental frequency. So not suitable for generator source. Compensated filter is required for generator. Performance is tuned at full load No capacitive PF at no load. Smooth PF compensation. No problem to Generator source. Performance remains constant over load variation Contd.,… Parameters Capacitor filter Tuned filter Active filter 3rd harmonic compensation Not possible Becomes very bulky Same filter can be used to compensate 3rd harmonic without increasing the size Selectivity And harmonic Compensation No selectivity Physical components are required to be changed Stability through software. Cost vs. performance is easily possible. This makes it more cost effective and flexible Capacity increase Possible by adding more capacitor Redesigning is required for change of load. More units can be added later on for increasing capacity Safety To take care of resonance problem, lot of fuses must be used. Also resonance causes failure of other sensitive circuits Breakers and fuses must be added per tuned filter. Also transient voltage absorbers must be used to avoid failure of other circuitry in case of resonance Only one set of Breakers and fuses are required for all harmonics Power loss Low loss More loss Moderate losses Conclusions The harmonic distortion principally comes from Nonlinear-Type Loads. The application of power electronics is causing increased level of harmonics due to Switching!! Harmonic distortion can cause serious Failure/Damage problems, and are important aspect of power operation that requires Mitigation!! Active Harmonic combined with Passive filter (Hybrid solution) can give you real value for money in mitigating Harmonics. Conclusions contd.. ROI on an average (depending on the process and application) is within 18-24 months*. Direct Benefit: No Penalty / notice from Electricity Board Effective improvement of pf (near unity) attracts bonus/incentive. Overall reducing eddy current losses in the main transformer (10-12%) Control on KVA demand In-Direct Benefit: Reduced maintenance of pf capacitor and critical component, hence you get extended life. Overall spurious tripping / failure rested.
