Report on Harmonics Generation and Mitigation in Power System

In India, Industrial based sections it’s very essential to fulfill power demand with low losses,improvements in electrical loading pattern and productions with high speed. For such high speed production, using of microprocessor and/or electronic base automated machineries are been used. By using such type of electronic based equipment’s, it’s increasing the nonlinear load in system so its leads to lagging power factor. In nonlinear load with low power factor draws more currents from source and increases the losses in system. So because of losses and high current draws in system it’s affected on life of electrical switch gears, equipment’s and cable. So due to this waste energy the Utility power department penalized for the constant lagging power factor.
