One of the major power quality concerns is harmonic distortion that is caused by the non-linearity of customer loads. Hence, harmonic studies have become an important part in power system modeling, simulation and analysis. This paper presents an application of an Open-source Distribution System Simulator (OpenDSS) for harmonic analysis in time series. Two test case studies, with and without har…
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…
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…
Filter detuning strongly affects the filter's size and operating performance. Partial resonance is recommended to raise the filtering efficiency of a single-tuned filter at the worst point in the detuning range. This paper presents a new way to obtain the optimal tuning frequency of a single-tuned harmonic filter in order to control harmonic currents to the allowable value with a minimum filter…
The non-linear behaviour of HVDC converters causes distorted voltage and current waveforms in the HVAC network to which it is connected. Typically frequency domain software is used for conducting harmonic analysis (penetration and impedance scan studies) and results are displayed as steady-state quantities not taking into account the dynamic behaviour of the system components. A time domain sof…
In this paper a software developed for the determination of winding connections, the calculation of winding factors and the evaluation of their harmonic distribution of three and two phase windings is presented by using as input data simply the number of slots, pole pairs and phases. The software is implemented as a function in MATLAB environment. By means of some examples, covering the most re…
This paper presents the results of the characterization of 19 industrial customerpsilas measurements of harmonics in their distribution system of medium voltage level, jointly with a software application to carry out a probabilistic evaluation of levels of distortion of currents and harmonic voltages on their systems. The developed program is based on Monte Carlopsilas simulation technique and …
Wireless networked control systems have received significant attention due to their great advantages in enhanced system mobility, and reduced deployment and maintenance cost. To support a wide range of high-speed wireless control applications, we presented in our prior work the design and implementation of a flexible real-time high-speed wireless communication platform called RT-WiFi. RT-WiFi c…
