This article presents special aspects of selection and application of filter-compensating devices (FCD), made on the basis of passive filters (PF), in power supply systems for various purposes with non-linear electrical receivers (ER). We show the features of various power supply systems with typical consumers of electrical energy. As an example, we consider power supply systems of 0.4 kV for detached houses and of 6-10 kV for industrial enterprises with high-power thyristor DC drives. We describe features of generating higher harmonics (HH) of current and voltage in the considered electrical networks, their harmonic composition and the main negative consequences. We consider main technical means of compensating HH of currents and voltages in power supply systems with nonlinear ER, and analysis of various PF types. The influence of frequency properties on HH compensation is presented as one of the main features of PF application in FCD. Special aspects of selection of PF specific types and its parameters are described on the basis of solving optimization problems. The main methods of FCD design optimization are considered. Based on FCD structure optimization, we proposed their most rational designs for various power supply systems, as well as the results of their application.
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.
