Abstract
This paper presents MATLAB based VI measurement for harmonics using DFT and WT. Results of both the techniques are compared and validated against the standard power analyzer. It is proved that DWT based VI have promising performance. For Data collection fifteen field visits are done to IT Industries, Steel Industries, Paper Industries, workshops etc. Sample of the readings are considered for analysis purpose. It is observed that the current harmonics generated are beyond the tolerable limits and many literatures are available in the area of Harmonic measurements but they do not have the capacity to identify the limits of harmonics as per the standards. In this paper GUI is developed in connection with MATLAB simulation to assess the harmonics and identify the normal and abnormal presence of harmonics with green and red colors respectively. Through this colour coding technique an unskilled worker can easily identify the objectionable presence of harmonics. It creates the awareness in the utility for measurement and control of harmonics which in turn helps to improve the PQ.
