Objective & Problem Statement
Distribution transformers connected to EV charging stations experience
power quality issues like voltage fluctuations and harmonic distortions due
to nonlinear loads.
This project aims to analyze and reduce these issues using harmonic filters
to improve transformer efficiency and reliability.

METHODOLOGY
Harmonic Filters: Install harmonic filters to absorb or block specific
harmonics generated by non-linear loads.
K-Rated Transformers: Use transformers specifically designed to handle
harmonic loads, known as K-rated transformers.
Regular Maintenance: Perform regular maintenance on transformers to
detect and address any emerging issues related to harmonic distortion.

Future Scope
In the future, this project can be improved by adding real-time monitoring
using IoT sensors to track power quality.
AI-based systems can also be used to predict transformer issues early.
Better filters can be added to reduce harmonics more effectively.
The hardware setup can be upgraded for use in bigger EV charging stations.

CONCLUSION
The sudden increase of EVs is a threat to the power quality because of
harmonics, increased power demand, voltage fluctuation and power loss etc.
In this project when we used harmonic filter then THD reduced upto 8 to 10%
while charging batteries.
Therefore we could see the decrease in THD while charging EV using
harmonic filter.
