Power System Harmonics and Its Mitigation

By Krunal Shah

Harmonics creates pollution in our power system just like carbon dioxide and other gases create air pollution. It has adverse effects directly or indirectly on equipment like motors, transformers, induction heaters etc. It leads to energy loss due to poor power factor. This book is intended to create awareness regarding power system harmonics. The book would serve as a quick reference guide for industry professionals who are associated with operation and maintenance, engineering students and even for design engineers.Following content has been covered:- The definition of harmonics is briefly interpreted. - Factors which are responsible for harmonics current generation is discussed. - Often the failure of equipment like motors, transformer etc. has been put on harmonics current. But this is not always the case. This ambiguity is being tried to clear by putting content "What harmonics are not"? so that readers who are associated with operation and maintenance can efficiently do analysis and find the root cause of failure of equipment.- IEEE Std. 519-1992, 2014 has been interpreted.- Remedies for limiting or mitigating harmonics current from power system has been discussed which could turn out helpful for planning and design Electrical Engineers.Ultimately the readers can be able to connect the dots of understanding related to harmonics.
