Power System Harmonics and Passive Filter Designs

Power System Harmonics provides comprehensive coverage of generation, effects, and control of harmonics, and presents its state–of–the–art technology and advancements This book is the first to cover Power System Harmonics in–depth, including real world, illustrative case studies. Written by a well–known author with extensive experience designing harmonic filters, this book is written in a thorough and easy to read way, making it an invaluable resource for practicing engineers, consultants, and academia. Coverage includes new harmonic mitigation technologies, detailed step–by–step design of passive filters, interharmonics and flicker, and more. Readers who are new to the field will be able to grasp the subject through the many examples, case studies and illustrations. More advanced readers who are already familiar with Power System Harmonics will be able to learn about new insights and the latest developments. Covers new harmonic mitigation technologies, such as advances in converter technologies for harmonic mitigation and simultaneous improvement of power factor, and detailed step–by–step design of passive filters not covered in other publications Covers comprehensive models of power system components and power systems for harmonic analysis Includes simulations of wind and solar power plants In depth coverage of the effects of harmonics Includes EMTP simulations (Electromagnetic Transients Program) for real world situations Richly illustrated; covers IEEE and IEC standards, and provides extensive references for further reading Power system harmonics, and mitigation of their deleterious effects, has become a fast–developing topic and this book will perform as a useful reference now, and in the future.
