Addressing one of the most widespread power quality issues, Harmonics and Power Systems provides in-depth discussion of sources, effects, and control of harmonic currents. Illustrated with numerous case studies and worked examples, this book demonstrates the nature of voltage and current waveform distortions and explains their effects in the distribution system from both utility and end-user perspectives. It offers information on harmonic measurement procedures and setup requirements, describing recommended values for harmonic distortion and other related parameters according to international standards, and also analyzes harmonic current propagation in typical distribution systems.
