The Evaluation of Medium Voltage Motor's Current and Voltage Harmonics during Loading

Voltage and Current Harmonics – Case Study

When the harmonic spectrum is known, or at least can be measured with a certain reliability or predicted, the additional losses can be easily calculated. The process of calculation should be made through the following steps: 1. Determination of all the components of additional losses due to the presence of harmonics. 2. Determination of the harmonic spectrum, either by measurement or by estimat...

Compensation of Voltage and Current Harmonics in Hybrid Renewable Energy System Using Coordinated Power Control of RES Inverter

In this paper, an adaptive control strategy is proposed for the inverters of renewable energy source (RES) to simultaneously control the load voltage, grid current and the amount of instantaneous injected power to the grid in the presence of grid voltage distortions and nonlinearity of load current. In the proposed control strategy, the power quality of the local load can be settled based on th...

Control of Inverter-Interfaced Distributed Generation Units for Voltage and Current Harmonics Compensation in Grid-Connected Microgrids

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for voltage and current harmonics compensation in grid-connected microgrids (MGs). If sensitive loads are connected to the point of common coupling (PCC), compensation is carried out in order to reduce PCC voltage harmonics. In absence of sensitive loads at PCC, current harmonics compensation scenario is selected in order to avoid excessive injection of...

Inter-Harmonics in Voltage-Sourced Converters based High Voltage Direct Current Systems

Voltage-Sourced Converter (VSC) is the main component in a VSC-based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) system. In addition to the characteristic harmonics, the inter-harmonics could be originated from the characteristic of each converter working at different modulation frequencies, or from a distorting frequency on one or both ac (or dc) systems. The space vector representation of VSC’s switch...
