About this title

Synopsis:

The subject of power system waveform distortion is discussed here for the first time. All the main aspects of this topic are covered in detail - harmonic sources, their causes, effects, analysis, monitoring, penetration and control. In particular, there is a detailed investigation of the static convertor as a harmonic source, and a thorough critical survey of the equipment currently used for harmonic monitoring. There is also some discussion of the setting of harmonic standards and the presentation of harmonic information; computer models of harmonic penetration are given.

From the Back Cover:

Harmonic distortion problems include equipment overheating, motor failures, capacitor failure and inaccurate power metering. The topic of power system harmonics was covered for the first time 20 years ago and the first edition has become a standard reference work in this area. Unprecedented developments in power electronic devices and their integration at all levels in the power system require a new look at the causes and effects of these problems, and the state of hardware and software available for harmonic assessment.

Following the successful first edition, this second edition of Power System Harmonics maintains the practical approach to the subject and discusses the impact of advanced power electronic technology on instrumentation, simulation, standards and active harmonic elimination techniques.

Features include:

• A new chapter on modern digital instrumentation techniques.
• Added sections on active filters and modern distorting devices such as FACTS devices, multilevel conversion, current source, voltage source inverters and turn–OFF–related power electronic devices.
• References to international standards for harmonics and inter–harmonics.
• Numerical examples of technique application.

Offering a comprehensive understanding of power systems, this book is an asset to power engineers involved in the planning, design and operation of power system generation, transmission and distribution. Researchers and postgraduate students in the field will also benefit from this useful reference.
