“Do We Really Need to Worry about Harmonics in Wind and Solar Plants?”
Dave Mueller presenting
Wednesday, November 7
1:45 pm

Session Summary:
Wind and solar power production is done with the use of inverters, raising concerns for harmonics and other power quality impacts.  The inverters used on these projects are slight sources of harmonics, but compliance with IEEE 519 and IEEE 1547 standards can be problematic.  Resonance and converter controls interactions are other issues to be considered.
