The use of photovoltaic power generation systems is increasing all around the world. However, photovoltaic systems use inverters and other electronics to convert and control DC power from panels to AC power. This may lead to increased power losses, decreased efficiency and power factor, overheating due to higher parasitic currents, and possible damages of the devices designed to work with smoot…
This paper describes a power system harmonic resonance case study using a PC (personal computer) based software package as the main analytical tool. The parameters of the network studied have been selected in such a way to cause the harmonic resonance point to coincide with the seventh harmonic generated by an ideal six-pulse power converter and, in this way, make the study meaningful and lead …
