In numerical experiments we have taken data frm the real systems, including the cable and verhead lines. In practice the nnlinear lad f high pwer may be supplied by the verhead r cable lines. The paper presents the cmparative analysis, hw the applied type f the line influences the level f distrtin f the vltages and currents in the pwer system. The values f the higher harmnics f the vltages and currents as well as THD have been determined in the paper. These values have been estimated fr the beginning and ending terminals f the verhead and cable lines supplying the nnlinear lad f the inductive character cncerning the cperatin f the filtering cmpensating device and the nnlinear lad f high pwer. All experiments have been perfrmed using MicrCap-8 prgram. In the paper we have included he exemplary results f the numerical calculatins. KEYWORD: defrmatins f vltage and current, frequency characteristics, passive filters, verhead and cable lines 1. Intrductin The main reasn f the deterirating f the quality f the electrical energy in the pwer system is the increasing number f the nnlinear lads in the system. Even at sinusidal vltage excitatin the current f the nnlinear receiver is distrted (nn-sinusidal). The nn-sinusidal current flwing thrugh the real surce f nn-zer internal impedance causes the distrtin f the terminal vltage as well. In this way bth: current and vltage in the system at nnlinear lad are distrted and cntain higher harmnics. In practice the nnlinear lad f high pwer may be supplied by the verhead r cable lines. The type f supply line has a significant impact n the level f distrtin f vltages and currents in the supply system in the event f a harmnic caused by nnlinear lads. In this paper a cmparative analysis f the impact f such nn-linear receiver t the level f distrtin f vltages and currents in the supply system. The values f harmnic currents and vltages and THD at the 11
beginning and the end f the supply line. It presents als examples f the simulatin results n the impact f a passive filter n the level f distrtin in the reprting system. As a result f distrtin we can bserve the resnance phenmena f different harmnics, that can be bserved in the supplying line. These phenmena depend nt nly n the parameters f the line, but als n the value f cnsumed currents, that is n the pwer f the nnlinear lad. The paper presents the results f numerical experiments perfrmed fr the system cmpsed f nnlinear lad and the supplying pwer line. In the experiments we have taken int accunt the frequency characteristics f the abslute values f the impedances measured at the terminals f the nnlinear lad. 2. ystem descriptin Figure 1a presents the general scheme f supplying the nnlinear lad u = f(i). The mdel presented in Fig. 1, is cmpsed f the fllwing elements: supplying pint 110 kv f shrt-circuit pwer zw = 500 MVA, 50 km f verhead line at 110 kv f 240 mm 2 crss-sectin, transfrmer 110/15 kv, the main supplying pint (PCC) 15 kv f shrt-circuit pwer zw = 200 MVA, 10 km supply line f 15 kv (verhead r cable), f 120 mm 2 crss-sectin, transfrmer 15/3 kv and the nnlinear lad u = f(i). The unity parameters f the verhead transmissin line 15 kv are as fllws : R = 0,245 Ω/km, L 0 = 1,1 mh/km, C 0 = 9,78 nf/km and f the cable transmissin line 15 kv R = 0,253 Ω/km, L 0 = 0,39 mh/km, C 0 = 0,23 µf/km. The parameters (R, L ) f the mdel have been determined using fllwing frmulas (fr ) [1, 2] 2 3 2 1,1* U 1,1* (15*10 ) X 1. 24 (1) 6 ZW 200*10 R 0,1 X 0. 124 (2) X L 4e 3 H (3) It is interesting t knw that the resnance phenmena may ccur in the line (cable r verhead), supplying the nnlinear lad. In the case f resnance the exact value f the resnance frequency is f great imprtance. The input impedance Z WE = f( ) seen frm terminals 2-2 at representatin f the line by the 2-prt f lumped parameters (Fig. 1b) and the ther part f the system by the impedance Z s = R s +jx s [1] can be described by the fllwing expressin [1, 2]: [(1 Z0(kl) Y2(kl) )Z Z0(kl) ] Z E(kl) (4) (Y Y Y Y Z )Z (1 Z Y ) 1(kl) 2(kl) 1(kl) 2(kl) 0(kl) 0(kl) 1(kl) 12

The unity parameters f transmissin line f 15 kv are as fllws: verhead line R = 0.245 Ω / km, L = 1.1 mh / km, C= 9.78 nf / km. cable line R = 0.253 Ω / km, L = 0.39 mh / km, C = 0.23 F / km. 15 kv Transmissin line l = 10 km Fig. 4.

This apprach enables the study f changes f impedance fr the whle analyzed frequency range. This is particularly imprtant in the case f a parallel cnnectin f passive filters at the beginning r end f the supply line. Based n the wavefrm f Figure 5, we can cnclude that the verhead line has slightly higher impedances fr frequencies lwer than 1 khz in cmparisn t the cable line.

One way t analyse the negative impact f nnlinear lad n the pwer system is the use f harmnic filters [3]. Fr this purpse, we used the system f Figure 4, and perfrmed the calculatins with attached filters f fifth and seventh harmnics at the end f the line (Fig. 11).

The impedance f the filter (50 Hz) sectin t 1th harmnic is f the capacitive character, which means, that it can be used as the device fr cmpensatin f the reactive device. The parameters f individual branches (cell) f the passive filter tuned fr 250 Hz and 350 Hz (in the Fig. 11) are as fllws: the fifth harmnic filter f Q 5 = 50, C 5 = 40 µf, L 5 = 10,1 mh, R 5 = 0,318 Ω the seventh harmnic filter f Q 7 = 70: C 7 = 10 µf, L 7 = 20,7 mh, R 7 = 0,65 Ω Figure 12 presents the abslute values f the impedance f the verhead and cable lines as a functin f the frequency in the circuit f Fig. 11.

Therefre the defrmatin cefficient at PCC has been decreased. The presents results prve that applicatin f passive filter causes the significant reductin f the vltage distrtin in the supplying system. 5. ummary On the basis perfrmed calculatins we can cnclude that the type f the supplying line has significant influence n the level f vltage distrtin. We have shwn that the distrtin depends als n the parameters f the supplying line and the shrt - circuit pwer ( zw ) at the supply pint (PCC). If the supplying system is mre cmplex there is a need t perfrm the additinal analysis f the impedance dependence n the frequency (t identify the resnance frequencies). In cmparisn t the verhead line the cable line reduces the impedance f the system fr characteristic frequencies. Is fllwed by the higher value f the capacitance C f the cable. The passive filters cause the vltage resnance at 250 Hz and 350 Hz and current resnance fr lwer frequencies (Fig. 12). We have bserved als significant reductin f the THDV cefficient, which assumed values smaller than 1%. At the same time we bserve that fr the fundamental harmnic f 50 Hz the system is f capacitive character, which may be applied fr cmpensatin f reactive pwer. The values f frequency phenmena fr each cnsidered case have been evaluated at the experiments perfrmed by using the simulatin prgram MicrCap-8. 22
