Aim: Design of 5th Harmonic Single Tuned Filter for Harmonic Mitigation.

Theory:
The most common type of passive filter is the single-tuned “notch” filter. This is the most
economical type and is frequently sufficient for most of the applications. The notch filter is
series-tuned to present low impedance to a particular harmonic current and is connected in
shunt with the power system. Thus, harmonic currents are diverted from their normal flow
path on the line through the filter. Notch filters can provide power factor correction in
addition to harmonic suppression. In fact, power factor correction capacitors may be used to
make notch filters.

Design Steps for Single Tuned Filter

1. Selection of initial tuning frequency

2. Computation of capacitor bank size

3. Computation of filter reactor size

4. Evaluation of filter duty requirements

5. Computation of fundamental duty requirements

6. Computation of harmonic duty requirements

7. Evaluate capacitor rating limits

8. Evaluation of filter frequency response

9. Evaluation of effect of filter parameter variations within specified tolerance

10. Outage of one of the parallel filter branch

Problem Definition

It is not a very practical distribution system but good from harmonic study point of
view. The problem is defined as -
A six pulse converter operates from three phase 6.6 kV, 50 Hz, 650 kW at 0.75 power
factor lagging. It is required to improve the power factor to 0.95 lagging. Short Circuit level
is given as 20 MVA at PCC. Converter is the only load on PCC. Design 5 th ST filter with Q
= 100. Capacitor rating = 360 KVAR, three phase
