Harmonic Penetration in Electric Transmission Systems

When the physicians of the power system (planners and operators) treat for resource inadequacy, congestion, instability and all the modern-day maladies of competitive power markets, their regimen may come with an increasingly common side effect – harmonics. The utilization of static var compensators (SVC), induction generators, source converters, underground and submarine cables, direct current converters, to name a few, to provide solutions to power system problems can lead to increasing harmonic penetration in the power system. Harmonic generating equipment coupled with system resonance conditions effects are cumulative and can be detrimental to system operations if not mitigated.
