POWER SYSTEM HARMONIC ANALYSIS
|
J. Arrillaga (Editor), Bruce C. Smith, Neville R. Watson, A. R. Wood (Contributor)
|
This
book addresses novel analytical and modeling tools for the assessment
of power system supply quality. The presence of harmonics (waveform
distortion) in power supply has proliferated with the increasing
application of power semiconductor devices used in electronic equipment
in industry, commerce and the home. Harmonic distortion problems
include equipment overheating, motor failures, capacitor fuse blowings
and inaccurate power metering. The authors of this book take the reader
through time and frequency domain simulation, the standard Fourier
analysis requirements, identification of earth and conductor impedances
etc., which need to be used for reliable, direct solutions. They then
proceed to look at converter characteristics, controls and
nonlinearities and iterative analysis techniques. |
