Abstract
Electrical energy has a dynamic role in our society as it is very important in the economic development of any country. In order to fulfill the demand there must be balance between power generation and load demand. In electric power systems, non-linear loads produce harmonics due to which the system undergoes high line losses and un-stability.
For power system stability and reliability, static var compensators (SVCs) and Harmonic Filter (HF) are used to eliminate the problem arising due to under voltages and non-linearity at the loaded busbars. The model is developed and analyzed using Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP). The results clearly show the effectiveness of SVCs and HF in making power distribution system reliable.
