ABSTRACT

The mass usage of CFLs is the problem with the network voltage distortion that arises due to

their distorted current which contains a high level of harmonic components even at pure sine wave

supply voltage. The combined effect of the widespread adaptation of the CFL can be just as

detrimental as one large harmonic source. Moreover mitigation of harmonic distortion caused by

CFLs is very difficult once they are widely distributed over the large power system network .In this

paper we identified the harmonic component generated in power system due to current harmonics

using artificial neural network. The ANN based methods has the advantages of parallel information

processing learning distribution pattern and memory which can be used in the measurement of the

harmonic to construct an appropriate network. Harmonic on-line detection can be achieved through

the study of the sampling.

I. INTRODUCTION

The idea of replacing inefficacious and short-aged incandescent lamps with efficacious and

long aged fluorescent lamps has resulted in the development of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs).

Compact fluorescent lamps were primarily intended for residential and commercial customers.

Lasting much longer and consuming much less energy than incandescent lamps with comparable

luminous output, they represented promising new lamp types. As a part of their energy saving

strategy, nations across the world were promoting the use of CFLs. These countries were even

offering CFLs at a highly subsidized price to make them popular. The basic problem arising in the

mass usage of CFLs is the problem with the network voltage distortion that arises due to their

distorted current which contains a high level of harmonic components even at pure sine wave supply

voltage. Various references discussing the behavior of CFLs under various operating conditions like

different system voltage, voltage distortions in the power system etc. Literature referred suggests

harmonics introduced into the networks by CFLs has been ignored earlier as individual CFL’s

injection is very small. The combined effect of the widespread adaptation of the CFL can be just as

detrimental as one large harmonic source. Moreover mitigation of harmonic distortion caused by

CFLs is very difficult once they are widely distributed over the large power system network. [1] [2]

[3] [4].

Harmonics Analysis Methods

Harmonics analysis is done using five methods:

1. Analog filter based method

2. Instantaneous reactive power theory based method

3. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) based method

4. Wavelets transform based method

5. ANN based method

Analog filter method is simple and cheap but has big error and bad performance in real

situation. Instantaneous reactive power theory has a simple circuit and good at real time situation but

yields big error during variation of voltage. FFT based method has problem that had to leakage effect

picket fence effect and aliasing effect. Wavelets transform is more complex than FFT. The ANN

based methods has the advantages of parallel information processing learning distribution pattern and

memory which can be used in the measurement of the harmonic to construct an appropriate network.

Harmonic on-line detection can be achieved through the study of the sampling.

2. CFL

Figure 3.1 displays a typical CFL ballast circuit, and is divided into four blocks for analysis

purpose. The 1st block usually has the protection, filtering and current peak limiting components. It

attenuates the electromagnetic interference generated by the high frequency stages of the ballast, and

also protects the ballast against possible transient phenomenon. The 2nd block is the ac/dc

conversion using full-bridge diode rectifier. This is followed by a capacitor in block 3 to provide a

smooth dc voltage for the resonant inverter in block 4. The lamp is supplied by a resonant inverter

started by the DIAC, and self-oscillating between 10 and 40 kHz. It also provides a high voltage to

strike across the tube. Generally the lamp appears as a constant resistive load as far as the dc bus bar

is concerned. The first three blocks have enormous impact on the CFL harmonic performance. CFL

can be divided into the following three main categories in terms of ballast circuitry and their attempts

on power-factor correction injection are very small. The combined effect however, of the widespread

adoption of CFLs can be just as detrimental as one large harmonic source. Moreover mitigation of

the harmonic distortion caused by CFLs is very difficult once in the network due to the dispersed

nature. Having one large harmonic source, such as a converter is easier to deal with than a multitude

for small dispersed harmonic sources, as harmonic filters can be designed to meet the system

requirements and installed at the devices terminals [5].

3. ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK

Neural network which are simplified models of the biological neuron system, is a massively

parallel distributed processing system made up of highly interconnected neural computing elements

that have the ability to learn and thereby acquire knowledge and make it available for use. There

are several different training algorithms for feed-forward networks. All these algorithms use the

gradient of the performance function to determine how to adjust the weights to minimize

performance. The gradient is determined using a technique called back-propagation. Back-

propagation is a systematic method of training multilayer Artificial Neural Networks. It is built on

high mathematical foundation and has very good application potential. Even though it has its own

limitations, it is applied to a wide range of practical problems and has successfully demonstrated its

power. [6] [7] [8].

5.2 Normalization of input data for ANN Normalization of data is a process of scaling the numbers in a data set to improve the

accuracy of the subsequent numeric computation and is an important stage for training of the ANN.

Normalization also helps in shaping the activation function. For this reason [-1, 1] normalization

function has been used.

6. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

The output of the ANN is shown in fig (16), fig (17), fig (18), fig (19), fig (20) for different

wattage CFL.CFL generate odd harmonics in power system. The magnitude of harmonics for low

wattage CFL is larger than the high wattage CFL .The dominant harmonics are non-triplen. The

magnitude of triplen harmonics is less then non-triplen harmonics.

7. CONCLUSION

An artificial neural network model was developed and implemented for power system

harmonics component measurement. It was tested off-line under different conditions. The result of

the off-line test indicates that the ANN model has very high power system harmonics component

measurement accuracy. The developed ANN model was implemented on a PC with Matlab Software

(with ANN Toolbox) using a data acquisition card. The ANN model was able to measure the

harmonic components of voltage and current at various levels. The CFL load for different wattage

are tested by this ANN and find that CFL generate odd harmonics ion power system.
