چکیده
This paper presents an algorithm for estimating the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in the electrical power grid nodes, which is based on a load flow analysis by frequency component. The aim of this algorithm is, on the one hand, to model the linear and non-linear loads which would be part of an electrical network and, on the other hand, to estimate the THD which would appear in the network nodes, in order to evaluate its effects and consequences, as well as to choose the best alternative for solving these problems. The proposed algorithm is able to show the grid’s buses in which the THD achieve a maximum, and could help to choose the most appropriate one to put the electronic devices up, as active power filters, optimizing the system design, permitting the reduction of the system losses and an increase of the energy transmission effectiveness into the grid.

Integration of the PV into the electrical grid needs power electronic interface. This power electronic interface should have some key features and should come up with grid codes. One of the important criteria is the quality and harmonic contents of the current being injected to the grid. High-order harmonics of the grid current should be very limited (lower than 0.3% of the fundamental current)...

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...

Electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. It is highly time varying and nonlinear. Its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. On the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in EAF. To this end Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) techn...
