2 Organization Introduction Why FDs Generate Harmonics? Harmonic Limit Calculations per IEEE Harmonic Mitigation Techniques Passive and Active Means Questions and Conclusions YASKAWA Page. 2

3 Motivation Harmonics cause unnecessary heat in equipment connected to harmonic source System rich in harmonics is generally associated with poor power factor and low efficiency YASKAWA Page. 3

4 Motivation - Continued Harmonics can overload preexisting power factor correcting capacitors at plant facility and at utility distribution points Harmonics can initiate system resonance that can severely disrupt operation Hence, control of harmonic current is important and necessary YASKAWA Page. 4

5 Risk of Parallel Resonance Parallel Resonance X c X L i h i h Power Factor Capacitors Relieve Load Current measured at the capacitor, showing 660Hz, (11th harmonic resonance) Figure 5.2 Resonance occurs when: X c = X L YASKAWA Page. 5

6 Introduction Non-linear loads current does not follow applied voltage waveform YASKAWA Page. 6

7 Introduction (Contd.) To estimate heating effect due to non-linear currents flowing through circuit breakers and transformers, linearization is needed Resolving non-linear waveform into sinusoidal components is Harmonic Analysis Ratio of harmonic content to fundamental is defined as harmonic distortion or THD YASKAWA Page. 7

8 Why FDs Generate Harmonics? DC link voltage DC capacitor Phase voltage 3-phase input Rectifer input current Pulsating current due to dc bus capacitor main source of nonlinearity in input current In weak ac systems, during diode conduction ac voltage is clamped to dc bus voltage source of non-linearity in input voltage YASKAWA Page. 8

9 Definition of THD Ratio of the square root of the sum of squares of the rms value of harmonic component to the rms value of the fundamental component is defined as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) If the waveform under discussion is current, then the THD definition is called Current Harmonic Distortion. If the waveform under discussion is voltage, then the THD definition is called oltage Harmonic Distortion THD I = n= n= 2 I 1 I 2 n THD = n= n= 2 1 n 2 YASKAWA Page. 9

10 Sample Waveforms THD = 1.2% THD = 78.3% Every Wave shape has Harmonic Distortion! YASKAWA Page. 10

11 Harmonic Limits Per IEEE Table 10.3: Current Distortion Limits for General Distribution Systems (120 through 69 k) Maximum Harmonic Current Distortion in percent of I L Individual Harmonic Order (Odd Harmonics) I SC /I L <11 11 h<17 17 h<23 23 h<35 35 h TDD < < < < > Even harmonics are limited to 25% of the odd harmonic limits above. * All power generation equipment is limited to these values of current distortion, regardless of actual I sc / I L ; where I sc is the maximum short circuit current at PCC and I L is the maximum demand load current (fundamental frequency) at PCC. YASKAWA Page. 11

12 Harmonic Limits Per IEEE Table 10.2 Low-oltage System Classification and Distortion Limits Special Applications * General System Dedicated System Notch Depth 10% 20% 50% THD (oltage) 3% 5% 10% Notch Area (A N2 ) 16,400 22,800 36,500 Note: The value of A N for other than 480 systems should be multiplied by /480. * Special applications include hospitals and airports. A dedicated system is exclusively dedicated to the converter load. In volt-microseconds at rated voltage and current. YASKAWA Page. 12

13 Definitions PCC - Point of Common Coupling Point where harmonic measurement is to be made Typically, where the utility power comes into the business (commercial building or industrial factory) Also defined as the point where non-linear load meets the linear load within a plant most popular definition used by Consultants to enforce Drive Manufacturers to meet IEEE519 at FD input TDD Total Demand Distortion Harmonic current distortion in percent of maximum demand load current. The maximum demand current interval could be either a 15-minute or a 30-minute interval. YASKAWA Page. 13

14 Definitions - Continued I SC : Short-circuit current at PCC Defines the size of the customer from Utility s view point helps to distinguish between a Seven-Eleven store from a Steel manufacturing plant I L : Maximum demand load current at fundamental frequency Need not be the rated load current. YASKAWA Page. 14

15 Characteristic Harmonics in Rectifiers h = ( k q) ± 1 h is harmonic order, k is any integer, q is number of pulses at the dc bus voltage in one period For a six-pulse system, h will be: 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, etc. For a twelve-pulse system, h will be: 11th, 13th, 23rd, 25th, etc. Amplitude of harmonics is 1/h for a three-phase ac to dc rectifier with no dc bus capacitor Harmonics of order other than those given above are called noncharacteristics harmonics and are more common than not YASKAWA Page. 15

16 Application Example for Applying IEEE , 100hp FD fed from a 1500-kA transformer of 4% impedance Step 1: Identify PCC take default to be at FD terminals Step 2: Determine I SC from end user. In its absence, use transformer ka rating and percent impedance I I SC SC = = 3 ka 1000 LL (% Z = /100) 45,105 Step 3: Determine I L from user. In its absence, use NEC Amps for rated horsepower condition. Here, use 124A Step 4: Determine I SC /I L. Look up Table 10.3 to determine limit - 15% YASKAWA Page. 16

17 Application Example for Applying IEEE519 I SC /I L for the present case is 364. From Table 10.3, TDD < 15% of Rated Fundamental Current or 18.6A in this example; Hence IEEE 519 compliance does not mean 5% TDD If maximum demand load current is only 45A due to load condition, and harmonic distortion is 35% at this operating point, spirit of IEEE is still met since 35% of 45A is 15.8A, which is less than the allowable 18.6A. Don t forget that voltage distortion limits are more important than current distortion limits due to the fact that voltage is common to all customers on the same grid, while current is local to a load YASKAWA Page. 17

19 Active Mitigation Techniques Active Front End Boost Converter Topology Inherently regenerative. Bulky, and expensive. Conducted EMI is of concern Non regenerative type: Inject Current from conducting phase to non-conducting phase using semiconductor switches Shunt type: Monitors load current and injects mirror image of load current so that harmonics cancel out.

51 Power Factor and Harmonics Two Definitions of Power Factor Exists Displacement Power Factor: Cosine of the angle between the fundamental voltage and fundamental current waveform For FDs, this value is almost always unity (0.99) YASKAWA Page. 51

52 Power Factor and Harmonics True Power Factor Ratio of True Power to Total olt-ampere kw Demanded by Load pf = ka Total olt-ampere includes A demanded by Harmonic Content in Waveform pf = pf = kw k I total dpf 1+ THD = k 2 kw I YASKAWA Page. 52 I 2 n = k I 1 kw 1+ THD 2

53 Power Factor and Harmonics True Power Factor is poor: THD 80% pf = dpf = THD 37% pf = 1+ dpf = YASKAWA Page. 53

54 Conclusions IEEE 519 does not mean THD < 5% Find out PCC, I SC, and I L, Apply the Spirit of IEEE 519 correctly YASKAWA Page. 54

55 Conclusions Avoid capacitor based harmonic filter 12-pulse techniques can achieve low TDD at drive input Hybrid 12-pulse is attractive, less bulky and cost-effective Isolation transformer based method is best when input is M Use 18-pulse only when Customer demands (Less than 5% TDD) Hybrid 18-pulse is attractive Isolation transformer based method is best when input is M YASKAWA Page. 55
