Problems in Electric Systems Caused by Harmonics and Solution Proposals

Together with globalization, factories, companies and even countries can survive by competing with their rivals. Nowadays, technological superiority is one of the most important factors determining competitive power. This situation causes the result of rapid change and development of technology. Due to improvement in technology, humanity dependence on electricity is increasing day by day. Many new devices get in our lives, and both the continuity and quality of electricity comes across as an important issue. Different researches are carried out to make the energy more qualified and efficient. In terms of the stability of the used electrical devices, it is important to keep the harmonic amount in electrical energy under a certain value. Besides this, these unwanted harmonics cause additional energy losses in the energy system and negatively affect energy efficiency, which is an economically important problem. In this exercise, the problems in electrical systems, the damages in electrical devices caused by harmonics have been researched and various solution suggestions have been developed for this problem.
