A SINGLE-POINT STRATEGY BASED ON IEEE 1459-2000 FOR THE DETECTION OF DOMINANT HARMONIC SOURCES IN POWER SYSTEMS

Antonio Cataliotti, Valentina Cosentino

Abstract

This paper deals with a new single-point strategy for the detection of harmonic sources in power systems. It is based on the simultaneous measurement of three nonactive power quantities, which are derived from the approach of the IEEE Std. 1459-2000. The proposed method is an enhancement of a previous approach, already developed by the authors. The new strategy is easier to be implemented than the previous one, because it is based only on the separation of the fundamental components from the harmonic content of voltage and current. As regard this, the strategy can be entirely implemented in the time domain, by using a technique already developed by authors for the detection of fundamental and harmonic components of voltages and currents. In the paper, some simulation tests are presented, which were carried out on a IEEE standard test power system. The simulation results show that the proposed method can give useful indications for the detection of the dominant harmonic source, upstream of downstream the metering section both in the absence and in the presence of the measurement transducers.
