Abstract

In this paper the performance of the electrical network of Egypt is studied by considering a small part on the network (Abu Hummus city). The transmission network of Abu Hummus city was created for 66 kV, 11 kV, and 0.4 kV in the digital simulation and electrical network calculation (DIgSILENT power factory software) to study the voltage profiles. The load flow operational analysis was performed to obtain the voltage magnitudes at every bus bar. The voltage magnitudes in 11 kV and 0.4 kV networks were 10% to 15% less than the nominal value due to overloading off the transmission lines and the voltage magnitudes in 66 kV was within permissible limits. By using automatic tap-changing transformer or Static VAR System, the main idea of this paper is to obtain the voltage profiles at every bus bar to improve the voltage quality of the networks, so as to achieve better voltage profiles on the low voltage side without much effect on high voltage side under various operating conditions.

Abstract

The enhancement of power quality in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems requires the development of effective harmonic mitigation techniques. This paper addresses the design and evaluation of specific passive filters (RC, LC, and LCL filters) for a three-phase grid-tied PV system, aiming to mitigate harmonics in the power system. The paper also systematically calculates and optimally solves for the components required for the given system. The design of the parameters for all filter topologies within the 100-kW grid-connected PV array is thoroughly elaborated. Each topology is evaluated based on the total harmonic distortion (THD) content, which is obtained using fast fourier transform (FFT), as well as DC voltage and system efficiency. The results are presented to identify the best solutions for harmonic mitigation. The modified filter model demonstrated in this study effectively limits harmonic distortion at the output. It is shown that the proposed design addresses the issue of harmonic distortion in grid-connected inverters for PV systems. The goal of this paper is to identify the most reliable filter for extending the system’s lifespan. The results suggest that the LCL filter is superior, as the system’s DC voltage remained within the rated value and the system efficiency was higher compared to the RC filter. The performance and functionality of these filters were tested using MATLAB/Simulink.
