Abstract
This paper presents an advanced harmonic analysis of industrial power systems, focusing on its impact on enhancing power quality and system performance. The study investigates the harmonic distortions caused by nonlinear loads, particularly those introduced by Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), in a manufacturing plant. Measurements of key electrical parameters, such as voltage, current, and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), were recorded and analysed. The results reveal significant harmonic distortion levels, exceeding industry standards, which can lead to reduced equipment efficiency and potential damage. By adhering to IEEE 519 guidelines and implementing harmonic mitigation strategies, such as filters and power factor correction, the paper demonstrates how power quality can be improved. The findings provide a foundation for future simulation and optimization efforts aimed at reducing harmonic distortion and enhancing system performance. Keywords: Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Harmonic Analysis, Power Quality, Industrial Power Systems, Current Distortion.
