Abstract

Language:

This paper discusses the power factor and harmonic effects caused by different types of voltage sources, namely sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveforms. The objective is to explore how these voltage sources, particularly at the Power of Common Coupling (PCC) between transformers and loads, affect power quality. Methodologically, the research employs a Schhafner Power Quality Analyzer to focus on measuring power factor (p.f.), Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and energy loss costs. The study evaluates various voltage sources, including sine wave, square wave, and a combination of 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonic orders, specifically harmonics 313 and 357. Results reveal that the combination of harmonics generally yields better power quality metrics compared to pure square waves or specific harmonic orders. It is evident that different voltage sources significantly influence power factor and energy losses, with the combination of harmonics performing better overall. The research highlights the importance of proper voltage source management in mitigating harmonic effects in electrical systems.
