An Update IEEEE Standard Complements
Published by Sivaraman P, SMIEEE, PEng (India), Senior Power Systems Engineer Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India We all know that Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Total Demand Distortion (TDD) are used to evaluate the presence of harmonics in the power system. The “IEEE Std 1547-2018 IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with AssociatedContinue reading “An Update IEEEE Standard Complements”
Harmonics Produced by Traction Substations – Computer Modelling and Experimental Verification
Published by Robert KOWALAK, Stanislaw CZAPP, Krzysztof DOBRZYNSKI, Jacek KLUCZNIK, Zbigniew LUBOSNY Gdansk, University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering Abstract. Voltage and current harmonics have a detrimental effect on the components of a power system. Current harmonics may result in the overload and damage to power transformers. Voltage harmonics may result in,Continue reading “Harmonics Produced by Traction Substations – Computer Modelling and Experimental Verification”
Harmonic Mitigation Using Phase-shifting Transformers and Harmonic Filters
Published by Alex Roderick, EE Power – Technical Articles: Harmonic Mitigation Using Phase-shifting Transformers and Harmonic Filters, May 21, 2021. Learn about how minimise the presence of harmonics in an electrical system with harmonic transformers and filters. Three-phase loads do not generate triplen harmonics. Therefore, harmonic problems in situations where 3-phase loads dominate are primarily fromContinue reading “Harmonic Mitigation Using Phase-shifting Transformers and Harmonic Filters”
