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…
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 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 …
