Abstract:
This paper presents a comparative analysis among different nonactive power quantities proposed in literature in nonsinusoidal conditions; with respect to this, a new single-point approach is proposed, for the detection of the dominant harmonic sources in polluted power systems. It is based on the observation that in the same distorted working condition the analyzed power quantities present a different behavior. In order to verify the theoretical assumptions, some simulations tests were carried out on a standard IEEE test system, proposed as a benchmark for harmonic propagation studies. Simulation results show how the approach based on a comparison of different definitions of nonactive powers can give some useful information for the detection of dominant harmonic sources.
