A Benchmark Test System to Evaluate Methods of Harmonic Contribution Determination | IEEE Xplore

A Benchmark Test System to Evaluate Methods of Harmonic Contribution Determination Published via IEEE Xplore Abstract Harmonic distortions at a point of common coupling (PCC) are caused by the harmonic sources in both supply system and customer facilities. In order to verify compliance with harmonic limits for an operating facility, it is essential to determine the contribution of a facility to the harmonic distortions measured at the PCC. Over th...

Live Line Clearance Evaluation Transient Study

Live Line Clearance Evaluation Transient Study
Live Line Clearance Evaluation Transient Study Power system apparatus, such as transformers, switchgear, and cables may be exposed to various types of transients. High-frequency transients and very steep overvoltages may cause problems for electrical equipment because they can cause local overstressing of the insulation system. Utility transmission line circuit breaker opening-and-closing operations are an important potential source of these high rate-o...
