Research Abstract

This article develops a digital mathematical model in symmetrical components to handle multi-pulse converters power system equipped with correction power factor capacitors or shunt passive harmonic filters. The model simulates AC/DC interaction system in both AC and DC sides with balanced and unbalanced AC system voltages and is adapted for general representation of converter transformers to meet Y/?, Y/Y, and Y/Z connections. Comparison results with previous works are given with correction power factor capacitors or shunt passive harmonic filters. The results also included the interaction of AC/DC systems resonating with shunt capacitors at one or more of harmonic power-frequency and the resulting zero sequence harmonics due to AC unbalanced voltage.
