Harmonic Basics

● What are harmonics?●Proliferated by power semiconductor devices

●Converts power (AC to DC)●A harmonic is a component of a periodic wave

having a frequency that is an integer multiple of the fundamental power line frequency

●Characteristic harmonics are the predominate harmonics seen by the power distribution system

●Predicted by the following equation:●Hc = np +/- 1●hC = characteristic harmonics to be expected●n = an integer from 1,2,3,4,5, etc.●p = number of pulses or rectifiers in circuit

Harmonic Basics

● Why a concern?●Current distortion

●Added heating, reduced capacity in :– Transformers– Conductors and cables

●Heating effect proportional to harmonic order squared●Nuisance tripping of electronic circuit breakers (thermal overload)●Blown fuses●Detrimental to generators

– Heating of windings●Detrimental to UPS

– UPS can’t supply the current

Harmonic Basics●Voltage distortion

● Interference with other electronic loads●Faulting to destruction

●Creates harmonic currents in linear loads●Generator regulators can’t function

●Shut downs●Not compatible with standard PF caps

●Potential resonance condition ●Excessive voltage

Total Power Factor

TPF = (DPF) x (Distortion factor)

DPF =KW

KVAf= Cos φ

Distortion Factor =1

1 + THD(I)2

TPF = Total or true power factor

DPF = Displacement power factor

Distortion Factor = Harmonic power factor

= Cos δ

Total Power Factor Example

●Variable frequency drive (PWM type)●DPF = .95

● THD(I) = 90% ●(no DC choke & no input line reactor)

●Distortion Factor =

●TPF = .95 x .7433 = .7061

11 + .92

= .7433

How are harmonics handled today?●Mixed bag of objectives

●Basis of compliance is mixed– THDi, THDv, TDD?– IEEE 519-1992?

●Where is PCC?●What level of harmonics is to be attained?●How to obtain compliance?

– Sometimes defined– Sometimes open ended

●Validation ●Poorly defined●By each equipment vendor●No ‘Total Responsibility’ for harmonics

●Has the User been protected where it matters – inside the facility

Page 12: Power Quality and Harmonic Mitigation 1

Schneider Electric 12- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009

Typical Present Situation●Specifications direct manufacturers of nonlinear loads to comply within

equipment specifications●Manufacturers of nonlinear loads have other concerns

●Sell standard equipment at competitive prices●Leads to minimized harmonic solutions●Leads to misleading information about harmonic performance●Leads to operational difficulties

– e.g. Can’t operate on backup generators/UPS● Force the IEEE 519 discussion to the utility PCC

●Many types of solutions are not compatible●Each manufacturer does his own thing without regard to other solutions●Approaches are for ‘my’ equipment only● ‘My’ simulation is for ‘my’ equipment only – I can’t include the others

● ‘Total’ solution not achieved●User has system that exceeds specification objectives●Consulting engineers can’t get overall compliance

Page 13: Power Quality and Harmonic Mitigation 1

Schneider Electric 13- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009

ANSI Standard IEEE 519-1992● Issues addressed:

● THD(V) delivered by utility to user (Chapter 11)●THD(V) must be < 5% [< 69 KV systems]

●Defines the amount of TDD a user can cause (Chapter 10)●Based upon size of user in relation to power source●Table 10.3 for systems < 69 kV

●Defines limits for voltage notches caused by SCR rectifiers – Table 10.2

●Defines PCC (point of common coupling)

Page 14: Power Quality and Harmonic Mitigation 1

Schneider Electric 14- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009

IEEE 519-1992

●Defines current distortion as TDD● Total Demand Distortion

●Largest amplitude of harmonic current occurs at maximum load of nonlinear device – if electrical system can handle this it can handle all lower amplitudes●Always referenced to full load current●Effective meaning of current distortion

●Defines voltage distortion as THD● Total harmonic voltage distortion

●Does not use THD(I)● Total harmonic current distortion● Instrument measurement (instantaneous values)●Uses measured load current to calculate THD(I)

Harmonic Standards

• Most harmonic problems are not at the PCC with utility. Typically harmonic problem occur:

• Within a facility• With generator & UPS operation• Where nonlinear loads are concentrated

• Need to protect the user from self by moving the harmonic mitigation requirements to where harmonic loads are located

5th Harmonic Filter (Trap Filter)• Inductor (Lp) and Capacitor (C) provide low impedance source for a single frequency (5th)

• Must add more tuned filters to filter more frequencies

• Inductor Ls required to detune filter from electrical system and other filters

• If Ls not present, filter is sink for all 5th

harmonics in system

• If Ls not present, resonance with other tuned filters possible

• Injects leading reactive current (KVAR) at all times – may not need

AccuSine PCS Installation Considerations● For Optimal Performance:

● Impedance – 3% input line reactors (minimum) on every nonlinear load● Transformer, 3% DC bus choke for PWM VFD or long power cables (not encapsulated type) can substitute for line reactors● Standardizes selection of AccuSine ●Diode rectifiers: Need to limit rms current at load (limits rise of Ihrms at load)●Thyristor rectifiers: Need to protect snubbers (capacitors) on thyristor

●No capacitors downstream of CT
