About this title

Synopsis:

A complete text/reference providing reseachers and students with the first study of power system waveform distortion (harmonics). Covers major areas such as harmonic causes, effects, analysis, monitoring, penetration, and control. Also discusses the setting of harmonic standards, computer models of harmonic penetration, and the presentation of harmonic information.

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.
