TOTAL HARMONICS DISTORTION REDUCTION USING ADAPTIVE, WEINER, AND KALMAN FILTERS by Liqaa Alhafadhi A thesis submitted to the Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering (Electrical) Electrical and Computer Engineering Western Michigan University June 2016 Thesis Committee: Johnson Asumadu, Ph.D., Chair Massood Atashbar, Ph.D. Christopher Cho, Ph.D. TOTAL HARMONICS DISTORTION REDUCTION USING ADAPTIVE, WEINER, AND KALMAN FILTERS Liqaa Alhafadhi, M.S.E. Western Michigan University, 2016 Total harmonics distortion is one of the main problems in power systems due to its effects in generating undesirable issues in power quality. These effects include heating (in transformers, capacitors, motors, and generators), disoperation of electronic equipment, incorrect readings on meters, disoperation of protective relays, and communication interference. Besides these problems, harmonics affect the power quality in both transmission and distribution systems. Different techniques have been used to mitigate the effects of harmonics.
