Abstract

In recent years an increasing power harmonic distortion is measured in electrical power systems. One of the main harmonic sources is a ballasted lighting fixture. Especially, mercury and sodium type luminaires apply harmonic distortions to their power supply systems. In this study, a MATLABreg code and a Simulink simulation are developed for nonlinear resistance modeling of mercury types luminaires for a main street lighting system in Istanbul and the harmonics created by the street lighting fixtures are studied with respect to supply transformers, operation conditions and regional characteristics
