Research of Non-Sinusoidal Voltage in Frequency Converter of Medium Power Operation

The article presents the comparative analysis of influence frequency regulated electric drive and current electric drive to harmonic structure of voltage of power grid. There was obtained the dependence of total harmonic distortion (THD) of curve on loading power for 2 types of valve converters. The effectiveness is shown in use of filter compensating device, connected at low side of converting transformer. There were defined the ranges of filter adjusting for improving THD of voltage curve. The described solutions are performed by the structural modeling method of Simulink packet in Matlab environment.
