A Study of Harmonic Spreading Against Distribution Network Reconfiguration in Passive Radial Distribution Systems

Abstract

The study of power quality improvement especially in the radial distribution system is still warm to keep on review in the last decade. Various methods and techniques used to improve power quality, one such technique is the reconfiguration of distribution network. This study attempts to assess the spread of harmonics during distribution network reconfiguration when restoring one of the buses by using Load Curtailment Method in designing distribution network reconfiguration of radial distribution system. The results, Harmonic dissemination should be of special concern in maintaining the power quality of the system on the reconfiguration techniques of the distribution network in radial distribution systems.
