The general process of evaluating harmonic emissions of a customer installation consists of two stages. In the first (planning) stage, emission limits are calculated based on the procedures provided in standards or guidelines. In the second (operating) stage, the “actual” contribution of the customer installation to the voltage harmonic distortion during operation is assessed and compared with the calculated emission limits. Several methods for the contribution assessment exist, but it is not clear how the determined contribution should be compared with the limits calculated in the planning stage. Some aspects and considerations as to how the emission limits can be compared with the common indices for harmonic contribution assessment are presented in this paper. After a brief introduction of the commonly used procedures and calculation methods, an example of a simplified low voltage test system with three customer installations is used for the calculation and comparison of all relevant indices.

PWM rectifiers are gradually replacing controlled and uncontrolled rectifiers as the preferred technology in industrial applications. While estimating harmonic current emissions from theses devices is well known when connected to clean supplies, there is a need to improve the understanding of harmonic current emissions from PWM rectifiers arising when high levels of background voltage harmonic distortion are present. This paper presents a mathematical approach to describing the harmonic current emissions of an uncontrolled rectifier, as a special case of PWM rectifier, as a first stage to a understanding PWM rectifier harmonic emissions when high level of background harmonics are present. The approach uses derived mathematical equations to assess the influence of background voltage distortion on the harmonic current distortion of the rectifier. The mathematical expression for the harmonic current is derived using the Double Fourier Integral method.

Harmonic resonance in Low-Voltage networks is increasingly observed majorly caused due to increase in capacitive based modern power electronic equipment. This paper presents a systematic mathematical outlook on harmonic resonances and the effects of various parameters on its sensitivity. Frequency-domain based models for a single and multi-feeder network with distributed loads are considered for analysis. Various factors such as a change in load demand, change in distance between busbar and loads, and change in distribution transformer’s power capacity are considered and their effect on harmonic resonance sensitivity is analyzed.

Improving voltage quality, as regards voltage sags, can be achieved by reducing the number of short-circuits and by shortening the fault clearance time through improving the protection schemes used in the network. A methodology previously developed by the authors based on Monte Carlo simulation has been extended by means of introducing adequate probabilistic performance indices. An example is presented, considering the IEEE Reliability Test System and load equipment compliant with SEMI F47-0706 and IEC 61000-4-11/34 standards. Four transmission line primary protection schemes are compared, and results show that obtained improvements have neither a straight relation to site exposure to voltage sags nor to the site short-circuit power. The presented example highlights the importance of applying stochastic prediction methods to this type of assessment, allowing utilities to support capital expenditure decisions in new protection scheme design aiming at improving the quality of supply as regards voltage sags. Moreover, the methodology allows to quantify the customer benefit, which depends on the equipment voltage tolerance curve.

This paper presents a framework to assess voltage harmonic levels of future distribution networks with increasing participation of nonlinear loads and photovoltaic distributed generation. The methodology proposed is used to assess harmonic impact up to 7th order and THD degradation in future scenarios up till year 2030 in low voltage residential networks. Stochastic behaviour of loads and photovoltaic generation is considered in the model by applying a probabilistic approach that accounts for uncertainties in electrical devices allocation and performance. A Monte Carlo simulation is performed for every scenario studied in order to obtain a probabilistic assessment of harmonic impact.The methodology proposed is applied to the IEEE European Low Voltage network and results are compared to standard EN50160 limits as the reference framework for low voltage power quality indices.

An important operational aspect of modern grids is implementation of a continuous assessment of low-order harmonic emissions from customer installations. While this problem was previously considered in MV systems by the same authors, this paper focuses on the interface between the HV grid and MV distribution systems. The voltage harmonic vector (VHV) approach is utilized to interpret quantities measured at the point of common coupling (PCC), either to check specific assigned emission limits, or to assess customers’ installations contributions to the total harmonic distortion. An HV/MV test system is proposed, combining the HV test system previously proposed by CIGRE/CIRED JWG C4/B4.3S with the MV IEEE benchmark test system previously proposed by the IEEE PES TF on “Harmonic Modeling, Simulation and Assessment”. The analysis is conducted by means of iterative harmonic analysis, in order to manage large number of MV-HV components, as well as to deal with the resonances. The presented results illustrate differences when actual and reference impedances of HV system and MV customer installations are used for the analysis, confirming the overall good performance of the VHV approach when applied at the interface between HV and MV systems.
现代电网的一个重要操作方面是对客户装置的低次谐波排放进行持续评估。虽然这两位作者以前在中压系统中考虑过这个问题，但本文的重点是高压电网和中压配电系统之间的接口。电压谐波矢量(VHV)方法用于解释在共耦合点(PCC)测量的数量，要么检查特定的指定排放限值，要么评估客户的安装对总谐波失真的贡献。将CIGRE/CIRED JWG C4/B4.3S提出的高压测试系统与IEEE PES TF“谐波建模、仿真与评估”提出的中压IEEE基准测试系统相结合，提出了一种高压/中压测试系统。采用迭代谐波分析的方法进行分析，以管理大量的中、高压分量，并对谐振进行处理。本文给出的结果说明了使用高压系统和中压客户装置的实际和参考阻抗进行分析时的差异，证实了在高压和中压系统之间的接口上应用VHV方法的总体性能良好。

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis on the operating performance of three-phase Induction Motors (IMs) driven by unbalanced supply voltages. It is a well known fact that three-phase IMs are adversely affected by the presence of unbalanced supply voltages and it is required to derate the output power wisely for efficient and safer operation of the motor. There is a certain guidance given in NEMA MG1-1993 to decide a suitable derating level, however limitations and drawbacks of such practices have been identified. Although voltage unbalance is a well-defined concept, existence of numerous voltage unbalance conditions have led to problematic prediction of IM performance in terms of temperature rise and motor derating. Thus, different study approaches, their findings, limitations and shortcomings are critically reviewed in this paper in order to develop a comprehensive derating mechanism for three-phase IMs.

The paper proposes a generic Matlab-Simulink model to represent quasi-static time-varying non-linear loads in power systems. The methodology presented allows to combine both deterministic and a probabilistic approaches. The procedure is able to evaluate voltage and current harmonic spectra under uncertainty scenarios in a power system allowing a preevaluation of harmonic disturbances. The methodology allows to simulate load variability taking into account power consumption and harmonic profile changes in time and to evaluate the introduction of new non-linear loads and renewable sources in a generic electrical power system.

Voltage sag brings economic losses that are difficult to measure for industrial users. The use of sag monitoring information and related indices for forecasting is the key to solving this problem. In order to realize the rapid and reasonable prediction of the losses results in the early stage of the event, this paper proposes a voltage sag economic losses prediction model based on information distribution and diffusion theory. Firstly, the method principle of information distribution and diffusion theory is explained. Based on the existing research, the severity of sag and economic losses are discussed. Then, considering the close causal relationship between them, the article established the fuzzy relationship between severity and economic losses based on information diffusion theory. Subsequently, the information distribution theory is used to fuzzify the severity index data, and the fuzzy relationship is used to predict the economic losses of existing samples. Finally, the actual data is analyzed, and the results show that the proposed method has less error in prediction results, and can provide data support and reference basis for user production decision quickly in the early stage of the event, which has important practical significance and application value.

Renewable generation sources have recently been integrated in power systems at an accelerated pace due to their relatively low capital cost, short project delivery time and quick return on investment compared to conventional thermal generators. Large scale wind and solar generation generally incorporate power electronic based converters, produce significant harmonic currents, and when installed at remote buses, introduce new challenges to Transmission Service Operators in regards to harmonic management. If not managed effectively, harmonic levels can lead to gradual degradation of both customer plant and network equipment. Information from practical case studies is a vital step in managing and mitigating harmonic issues. This paper identifies and examines harmonic allocation issues associated with the integration of wind and solar plants in transmission systems through application of a recommended allocation methodology. It also includes recommendations for improvements to harmonic management in transmission systems with increased penetration of power electronic based generation.
