Industrial Motor Drive Harmonics Mitigation in Cement Plants Using Active Power Filters
In recent years, the increased adoption regarding the application of electronically controlled adjustable speed drives in manufacturing environments in industrial settings has led to a notable deterioration in power quality within the electric power system. This issue is especially prevalent in cement plants since they use more electric adjustable speed drives. This research examines the harmonic distortions produced by the electric drives with adjustable speeds at Anjani Cement Ltd. in Jaggayapet, Nalgonda, A.P., India. To determine whether harmonic currents or voltages are relevant, harmonic measurements have been done at a number of motor drives using a Fluke 564 power quality analyses. Based on these measurements and further computations, the harmonic content of these motor drives is examined and found to be kept to a minimum within the bounds of international standards. The capacity of power filters to lower harmonics has drawn a lot of attention lately. This study develops an active power filter based on real-time harmonic data readings to minimize harmonic in MATLAB/Simulink
