title = "Mitigation of harmonics in drilling rigs using shunt active power filters",
abstract = "Harmonics and low power factor are major concerns in modern industry. Even though several solutions are available, mitigating these problems in already established heavy industries is still a challenge. On-shore oil rigs are one such case where the problem becomes unique because of the extreme operating conditions and limited space. This paper presents a case study of mitigating the harmonic problem in on-shore oil rigs operating in deserts. It is proposed to use multiple shunt active power filters. One or more shunt active filters may go out of operation but the drives continue to run without filters resulting in distortion of voltage. The active filters which are in operations should work under distorted voltage conditions. Operation of shunt active power filter under distorted voltages is demonstrated both through simulation and experiments.",
