In this article, a distributed-parameter representation is applied to a simplified feeder, thus making it possible to perform analysis of the whack-a-mole phenomenon in a long distance distribution feeder having many capacitors for power-factor correction.
Abstract
This paper deals with a curious phenomenon referred to as the "whack-a-mole" that may occur in a long-distance distribution feeder having many capacitors for power-factor correction. The idea of whack-a-mole is that installation of an active or passive filter on the feeder makes voltage harmonics increase on some buses, whereas it makes voltage harmonics decrease on other buses, especially at the point of installation. The distributed-parameter representation is applied to a simplified feeder, thus making it possible to perform analysis of the whack-a-mole. As a result, this analysis yields such a basic way as to avoid the whack-a-mole. Moreover, both theory and experiment clarify that installation of the active filter acting as a harmonic terminator on the end bus of the feeder can damp out harmonic propagation throughout the feeder without causing any whack-a-mole.
