Efficiency increasing of a shipyard power supply system by Beley V. F., Korotkikh K. V.

“…One of the effective methods for reducing zero-sequence voltage asymmetry is to replace a transformer with a Y/Y0 winding connection diagram with a Δ/Y0 diagram. Circuit and technological solutions (separation of nonlinear loads to a separate bus system; increasing the phase of semiconductor converters; connecting a nonlinear load to a system with greater short-circuit power) and filtering devices (narrow-band filters, filter-balancing devices and active filters) are used to increase the efficiency of the power supply system when it operates under conditions of increasing distorting loads.…”
