"This alternating current thing is just a fad. It is much too dangerous for general use"
Thomas Alva Edison
What Are Harmonics ?�Harmonics are due to distortion of the voltage or
current waveform�The distortion comes from nonlinear devices,
principally loads

Why bother about Harmonics?
�Important aspect of power quality�Damaging Effects to Consumer Loads
and Power System�Problems may be incipient�Non-Linear Loads are Increasing�Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Total Harmonic Distortion
�Defines the total harmonic content of current or voltage
�Ratio of the RMS of the harmonic content to the RMS of the Fundamental, as % of Fundamental

THD = sum of squares of amplitudes of all harmonics
square of amplitude of fundamental x 100 .
Mathematically, THD of a voltage wave form can be defined as,

Total Demand Distortion Factor (TDD)
�Applies for current distortion only.�The total rms harmonic current
distortion, in % of the maximum demand load current (15 or 30 min demand)
Displacement Power Factor
�When V and I are not distorted, PF is:�“Ratio of the active power of the
fundamental, in watts, to the apparent power of the fundamental wave, in volt-amperes”
�P = V1rms I1rms Cos ��PF = Cos �
7
Power and Power Factor�When significant distortion is present
PF = Cos θθθθ
“Displacement Power Factor”
True Power Factor
�Ratio of the total power, in watts, to the total volt-amperes. This includes fundamental and all harmonic components.
�This is also called “Distortion Power Factor”

Engineering Speak
“We are trying some new approaches”
Translation:We threw some new guys on it.
K-Factor�K-Factor is ratio of eddy current losses
due to distorted current compared to the losses for the same rms fundamental frequency current
�Example: �Eddy Current Losses with 100 A rms with harmonics =
270 Watts�Eddy Current Losses with 100 A rms 60 Hz sine wave =
27 Watts
�K - Factor = 270/27 = 10

K-Factor�Assumes eddy current losses are
proportional to f 2 - OK for small conductor sizes and low harmonics
�At higher frequencies, eddy current loses are proportional to f
�Transition frequency depends on winding configuration, material
�Al - 2200 Hz, Cu - 700 Hz �K-factor over estimates harmonics effect
at higher frequencies
12
THD and K-Factor(Example Calculation)
�Harmonics for 3-ph PWM type ASD�Fund. = 100 A rms�5th : 60 A rms = 0.6 pu�7th : 40 A rms = 0.4 pu�11th : 30 A rms = 0.3 pu�13th : 20 A rms = 0.2 pu�THD = Sqrt (0.62 + 0.42 + 0.32 +0.22)* 100 = 81 %�K = 12 + 0.62 * 52 + 0.42 * 72 + 0.32 *112+0.22*132
� = 1 + 9 + 7.84 + 10.89 + 6.76 = 35.49
Transformer Derating
�Non K-rated transformers have to be derated when load current has harmonics
�IEEE C57.110 “Recommended Practice for Establishing Transformer Capability When Supplying Nonsinusoidal Load Currents”
13
K-rating
�K-rated transformers can handle non-sinusoidal load current up to the full load rating with k-factor up to the k-rating of the transformer
�K-rated transformers are designed to have lower eddy current losses

When Should You be Concerned About Harmonics
� 20 % of total load is power electronic load
� If service transformer is loaded near rating
� When PF correction capacitors are planned
�Neutral to ground voltage in 120 V supply exceeds 1 to 2 volts
�
17
Harmonic Standards
�Several Countries have developed Standards to limit harmonics
�IEEE 519-1992�IEEE 519A-2004?�IEC 61000-3-2, 61000-3-4, 61000-3-12
IEEE 519�IEEE 519 “Recommended Practices and
Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems”
�Specifies load current harmonic limits at PCC
�Specifies supply voltage harmonic limits at PCC
�IEEE 519A “Guide for Applying Harmonic Limits on Power Systems”

Application Concerns
• Selecting PCC• Calculating ISC and IL• What is TDD ? • Measurement Problems• Time Varying Harmonics• General Procedure for Applying Harmonic
Limits• Cost of Problems vs. Cost of Solutions• Distributed Generation Limits

What is PCC ?
�“Point in the public network which is closest to the consumer concerned and to which other customers are or may be connected” IEC 61000-3-4:1998

IEEE 519 Standard Limits(Utility)
21
IEEE 519 Standard
�Limits apply for the “worst case” for normal operation (lasting longer than one hour)
�For shorter periods, during start-ups limits may be exceeded by 50%
�Even harmonics are limited to 25% of odd harmonic limits
�Co-gen - use Isc / IL < 20, irrespective of actual value
Harmonic Current Measurements
• Calculate harmonics as % of a fixed (average max. demand) current, not as % of fundamental
• Limits in the Table Apply only to Odd harmonics – Even Harmonics are limited to 25% of those limits
• CT Characteristics are important – usually good (should be less than 3 dB)
• How long to monitor?– Very stable, One day may be adequate– one week – for most cases– Permanent monitoring in some cases
23
Harmonic Voltage Measurements
• Measure at PCC• Low Voltage – measure with direct
connection• Higher Voltages – Connect with PT –
frequency response is good to 3 k Hz (50th
harmonic)• Avoid CCVTs – frequency response is not
good
Evaluation Procedure
• Non-linear load is less than 10 - 20% of total plant load – No harmonic evaluation necessary
• Weighted Disturbing Power

Applying Harmonic Limits For Industrial Facilities
1. Usually supplied by dedicated transformer2. Several nonliner loads – ASDs, Rectifiers, DC
drives, Induction furnaces 3. Loads are relatively low PF - Power factor
correction capacitors are installed4. Industrial loads like motors do not provide
much damping for resonance conditions5. Problems inside the facility before causing
problems in utility system6. Limit Voltage distortion to 5% at PCC – provide
some margin for distortion within facility
Applying Harmonic Limits For Industrial Facilities
1. Choose PCC2. Characterize Harmonic Loads3. Determine if PF Correction Needed4. Calculate Expected Current Harmonics
at PCC5. Design Harmonic Control Equipment, if
necessary6. Verify performance with measurements
27
Applying Harmonic Limits For Commercial Customers
• Significant percentage of Load is Electronic Equipment and Switch mode Power Supplies
• High Efficiency Fluorescent Lighting• HVAC Load is ASD drives• Significant harmonic cancellation -Meeting
IEEE 519 at SES is rarely a problem• Internal Harmonic Problems – neutral
overheating, transformer overloading, communication interference
Overview of Proposed Revisions to IEEE 519
• Immediate– Increased voltage limits for buses < 1 kV– Limits for time-varying harmonics– Revised notch and ringing limits and
definitions• Near-term
– Measurements• Limits for Single-Phase Equipment
– Dropped

Harmonic Voltage Limits
• Add a new voltage limit category for buses less than 1 kV– 5% limit for individual harmonics– 8% limit for voltage THD
• Main concern is associated with multiple zero crossings– Research has shown that concern has
merit
29
Time-Varying Harmonics
• Limits must be based on factual cause/effect– Thermal effects occur over time– Burst distortion effects can be instantaneous– Startup/abnormal conditions should be tolerated
• The facts suggest providing– Significant limit increases for short periods– Some limit increases for intermediate periods– No increases for the majority of the time
• Some statistical techniques may be needed
