Obtaining Feasibility of Power Flows in the Deregulated Electricity Market Environment

Published by Mariusz DRABECKI, Eugeniusz TOCZYŁOWSKI,Warsaw University of Technology, Institute of Control and Computation Engineering Abstract. In this paper we analyse a power dispatch method for obtaining feasible power flows, both active and reactive power, in terms of satisfying the transmission, voltage level and voltage angles’ constraints, under assumption that supply of electric power isContinue reading “Obtaining Feasibility of Power Flows in the Deregulated Electricity Market Environment”

Steps to Find the Source of Harmonics

Published by David Horning, November 2014. Power Monitors, Inc., White Paper: Steps to Find the Source of Harmonics Abstract. Harmonics are “Non-Linear” current or voltage in an electrical system. Any waveform that deviates from a perfect sine wave has harmonics. Any nonlinear load draws harmonic currents and therefore produces harmonic voltage distortion, by producing non-sinusoidalContinue reading “Steps to Find the Source of Harmonics”
