Abstract

The harmonic distortion is one of the most important problem associated with power quality and creates several disturbances in the power system. This paper includes the harmonic reduction technique to improve the power quality and includes the simulation for the same. Mobile/Laptops battery chargers are non-linear devices that inject harmonic currents and pollute network voltage [1]. Distorted current or voltage waveforms from its ideal form will be treated as harmonic distortion. Harmonics are generated due to nonlinear load. In this paper we simulated the battery charging process, the methods to reduce the harmonic effects and analyze the impact of harmonics.
