The first part of this paper presents the comparison between two models of distribution system created in computer simulation software PowerFactory (PF). Model A is an existing simplified equivalent model of the distribution system used by transmission system operator (TSO) Eltra for balanced load-flow calculation and stability studies. Model B is accurate model of the distribution system creat…
Many articles have been written about the growing harmonic problems in present day power systems. The topics range from the fundamentals of harmonics to specific case studies showing harmonic cause and effect relationships. The articles follow a common theme: they describe harmonic problems and recommend possible solutions after the problems occurs. This article describes how computer simulatio…
With the increasing proliferation of non-linear loads, more harmonics are expected to be injected into the distribution system. This paper presents time series simulations of harmonic analysis in the distribution system. Modeling and analysis approach is used to perform the time series of harmonic analysis. OpenDSS, an open-source distribution system simulator is utilized in order to perform th…
An active power filter (APF)based on digital signal processor (DSP) and complicated programming logic component (CPLD) is designed in this paper. Solft and hard wares are introduced and the simulation experiment to compensate the reactive power and harmonics in three-phase four-wires system is done. By using Matlab. simulation model is build for the device. The result shows that this model can …
A suite of models utilizing a simplified structural framework with a range of bulk rock permeabilities were developed to analyze the transient behavior of Basin and Range extensional geothermal systems, and particularly, the evolution of the system temperature with time. Each model consists of two mountain ranges (∼1 km relief from the valley floor) separated by a thick sequence (about 4 km) …
Responding to the need to reduce atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide, Brown [Brown, D., 2000. A Hot Dry Rock geothermal energy concept utilizing supercritical CO2 instead of water. In: Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering, Stanford University, pp. 233–238] proposed a novel enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) concept that would use carbon dioxide (CO2)…
This paper proposes different methods for estimation of the harmonic currents of the six-pulse diode rectifier, which is a very commonly used topology in industry. Both simple and advanced models are compared and the models are put into a context of practical use for calculating the harmonic distortion in a typical industrial application. Finally, the different models are compared to measuremen…
Abstract: As IEEE Standard 519-1992 enters its final revision stages for a new release, it is becoming clear that new and improved modeling and simulation techniques are required to address various technologies and control systems that were not considered in the 1992 version. Probably the single largest issue is the emergence of "active rectifier" AC-DC converters. However, other modeling and …
This paper presents three harmonic simulation test systems. The purpose is to demonstrate guidelines for the preparation and analysis of harmonic problems through case studies and simulation examples. The systems can also be used as benchmark systems for the development of new harmonic simulation methods and for the evaluation of existing harmonic analysis software.
