HARMONIC DISTORSION SOURCE IDENTIFICATION IN POWER SYSTEMS WITH CAPACITOR BANKS

Antonio Boscolo, Ivan Vlahinic, Saša Vlahinic

Abstract

The deregulation of power market requires methods for the identification of the harmonic distortion source, while the increased presence of power electronics as major harmonic sources raises the level of harmonic distortion present in the electric power systems. Different approaches have been proposed for the identification of the source of harmonic distortion, but if direction of power flow is considered, only the harmonic active power is taken under consideration. In this paper, examples are described and simulations are undertaken to examine what is the actual information conveyed by the both harmonic active and reactive power flow and to find out how the presence of capacitors influence identification schemes.
