There have been incessant power failures in our power network, which has arisen as a result of over current, over voltage, harmonic distortion caused by ripples to mention a few, This could be overcome by determining the harmonic mean from a given harmonic distortion data ,optimizing the mean from a given distortion data, training the optimized result to minimize harmonic in power distribution transformer, designing a Simulink model for mitigating the resultant effect of harmonics which are the sinusoidal components of a complex wave, using simplex optimizationtechnique. The optimization technique used is 69% better than the conventional method like proportional integral derivative (PID) in terms of minimizing harmonic in power transformer.
