Abstract

The use of non-linear loads, such as electro static precipitator (ESP) and variable speed drive (VSD), draws much distorted currents and voltages. They lead to generation of voltage/current harmonics and consume reactive power. Al-Tahady ESP had been designed and manufactured at Al-Zawraa state company as an air pollution control system. This paper presents the solution for this problem, firstly a separation of power supplies led to proper operation of the system, this secondly encourages to think of harmonics generated by variable speed drive. The three-phase harmonic filter was used to compensate harmonics generated by non-linear load (electro static precipitator and variable speed driver that derives the fan). The instantaneous harmonic reduction theory that uses Fourier series was used to design the harmonic filter. Power SIMulation (PSIM) and MATLAB have verified the harmonic distortion and the active filter control scheme.
