IEEE Std. 1459 power quantities ratio approaches for simplified harmonic emissions assessment
2018 18th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (ICHQP), 2018
The paper investigates the suitability of using power ratio parameters for harmonic emissions assessment at the point of common coupling (PCC). The study is carried out starting from the IEEE Std. 1459-2010 apparent power decomposition, where power factors are defined for evaluating line utilization and harmonic pollution levels. In addition, the study investigates the behavior of new parameters, which are expressed in terms of ratio between IEEE Std. 1459-2010 power quantities. The study is carried out for both single-phase and three-phase case, also considering the presence of capacitors.
Continuous harmonic analysis and power quality measurements in three-phase systems
2003
A virtual instrument, named Power Quality Meter, is presented for (a) measuring power consumption and harmonics in three-phase systems, under non-sinusoidal and imbalance conditions (b) detecting, classifying and organizes power disturbance events. Measurement of the power consumption follows the formulation proposed by the members of the IEEE Working Group on Nonsinusoidal Situations (1996). So, definitions are based on the analysis of functions in the frequency domain, separating the fundamental terms from the harmonic terms of the Fourier series. The virtual instrument has been developed too for monitoring and measuring power disturbances, which are automatically classified and organized in a database while they are being recorded. Software tools use the database structure to present summaries of power disturbances and locate an event by severity or time of occurrence. Records of actual measurements are included to demonstrate the versatility of the instrument.

Harmonic distortion is one of the disturbances that most affects the quality of the electrical system. The widespread use of power electronic systems, especially power converters, has increased harmonic and interharmonic emission in a wide range of frequencies. Therefore, there are new needs in the measurement of harmonic distortion in modern electrical systems, such as measurement in the supra-harmonic range (>2 kHz) and the measurement of interharmonics. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards define new total harmonic distortion (THD) rates based on the concept of frequency groupings. However, the rates defined in the IEC standards have shortcomings when measuring signals such as those present in the outputs of power systems with abundant interharmonic content and presence of components in the supra-harmonic range. Therefore, in this work, a comparison is made between the different THD factors currently defined, both in the literature and in the standards...

Harmonic emission assessment in high-voltage networks with a number of renewable power plants (RPP) interconnected is challenging. A sound scientific methodology readily accessible to engineers is needed to validate the compliance to grid code requirement set by the distribution system operator. Harmonic phasors recorded coherently all over the network can cause an impractical volume of data. This study investigates the opportunity to improve existing methodologies by application of the prevailing angle in a harmonic phasor as an approach to significant reduction of data and then demonstrate the evaluation of grid compliance in a network with a number of RPP interconnected. It is shown that the unrelated dynamic nature of the different non-linear energy sources does compromise the practical application of the prevailing harmonic phase angle. It is then concluded that the dynamic nature of RPP necessitates continuous monitoring of grid code requirements on harmonic emission.
On Harmonic Emission Assessment: A Discriminative Approach
SAIEE Africa Research Journal, 2017
An improvement in the assessment of harmonic emissions as contributed by renewable generation such as a Photovoltaic (PV) plant, at a Point of Connection (PoC) to a distribution network, is needed. Both the generating source and the distribution network contribute to the voltage harmonic distortion at the PoC and single-point measurements cannot be used to quantify the relative contributions of each source. IEC 61000-4-30 Class A PQ measurements are used as a reference dataset for engineers and can be obtained simultaneously at different points in a network in an attempt to better understand the relative contribution by the source of distortion and the voltage supply network. The opportunity to improve the CIGRE/CIRED C4.109 approach by means of multiple-point synchronized network data is shown to be significant in the qualification of the statistical method but lacks the quantification in calculating the harmonic emission of a non-linear load. The CIGRE/CIRED method can be improved by only considering those harmonic currents identified as emission as some harmonic currents could be the result of background harmonic voltages in the supply network. Constraints in using IEC 61000-4-30 time-aggregated rms voltage and current values to support the assessment of harmonic emission using field-measured data is lastly shown as the calculation method and measurement uncertainty influence the compliance to grid code requirements on harmonic emissions.
Comparison of harmonic estimation methods for power quality assessment
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018
Power quality is regulated by international accepted standards from IEEE and IEC. One of the parameters that is defined in the standards is the harmonic distortion. The grouping method is the standard-advised method to evaluate harmonics but other approaches can be used. In this paper, three different methods are compared considering memory requirements, relative time consumption and the uncertainty of the harmonic estimation with spectral leakage, noise and different harmonic phases.
Trends in Power Quality, Harmonic Mitigation and Standards for Light and Heavy Industries: A Review
Energies, 2020
The power quality of electrical grids is becoming an important issue worldwide. The electrical grid has to deliver sinusoidal voltages and currents without frequency or amplitude variations. However, the connection of non-linear loads generates harmonics that degrade the grid quality. The presence of harmonics in the load currents has many negative consequences and can distort the voltage waveform at the point of common coupling (PCC). Thus, it is essential to mitigate the harmonics in order to maintain a suitable grid quality. This is a shared responsibility between energy suppliers, manufacturers of electric and electronic equipment, and users. In this context, this work presents, for each stakeholder, a comprehensive analysis of their responsibilities and the standards that they should meet. Additionally, this paper reviews the most common types of filters used to comply with the applicable standards in industrial applications. Finally, in order to prove that active power filters...
Harmonic measurements in industrial power systems
IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 1995
Harmonic measurements are made in industrial power systems in order to: (a) aid in the design of capacitor or filter banks, (b) verify the design and installation of capacitor or filter banks, (c) verify compliance with utility harmonic distortion requirements, and (d) investigate suspected harmonic problems. The results of these measurements are used in design calculations, verification, comparison with standards, and system modeling. Each of these objectives will affect the choice of a measurement approach. The selection of the measured quantities, measurement points in the system, and the types of instruments and transducers should be based upon the measurement objective. Once measurements are taken, additional calculations must be made to put the results into a useful form. The measurement results will then provide a firm basis for further engineering work.
MEASUREMENT OF POWER CONSUMPTION PARAMETERS IN THE PRESENCE OF HIGH HARMONICS
IAEME, 2019
The paper presents the study of high harmonics influence on power metering by static meters for active and reactive energy. The review and analysis of manufacturer’s documents and standards in the field of electricity meters testing was conducted and mathematical models for calculating active and reactive energy were identified. Various electronic meters were tested at the experimental stand. As a result, the errors of active and reactive energy metering in the presence of high harmonics were determined. It is shown that the implemented in static meters equations for the active and reactive energy calculation can lead to unfair payments for electrical energy in the presence of high harmonics.
