Deregulation has presented the electricity industry with many new challenges in power system planning and operation. Power engineers must understand the negative effect of harmonics on an electrical power network resulting from the extensive use of power electronics-based equipment. Serving as a complete reference to harmonics modelling, simulation and analysis, this book lays the foundations for optimising quality of power supply in the planning, design and operation phases.
Features Include:
* MATLAB function codes to aid the development of harmonic software and provide a...

The modelling and quantitative analysis of power electronics controllers based on voltage source converters, for harmonic studies in power systems, are the main objectives of this book. A complete steady-state model, using the harmonic domain, for the voltage source converter based on PWM switching techniques is given. As a modular approach, the voltage source converter model is used to build up models for the STATCOM, HVDC-VSC stations and UPFC. A state-space representation of systems, based on time-dependent Fourier series, is proposed for dynamic harmonic analysis. In this new state-space,...
