Dynamic Motor Starting and Harmonic Analysis for a Chemical Manufacturing Industry

Abstract: For manufacturing industries like chemical manufacturing industries, maintaining a stable and continuous power supply is very important because power quality issues can affect continuous industrial processes. Starting large motors can lead to voltage dips and usage of non-linear loads can lead to power quality issues. Hence, in this project, motor starting and harmonic analysis are carried out for the chemical industry using ETAP under various operating scenarios. As a result, it checks whether the voltage dip during motor starting and the THD at the PCC.

Keywords: Voltage dip, Motor Acceleration, Harmonics, Power quality issues.
