Harmonics in the Present Smart Grid Setting
There are abounding sources of harmonics in the smart grid concept. For the greatest part this is due to the extensive use of high-frequency power converters in switchable capacitors and reactors applied in reactive power management, coupling of wind and solar renewable resources to the power grid, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, and vehicle-to-grid interaction, among others, Certainly, for the most part, harmonics created in many of these applications may be inconsequential, but the occurrence of harmonic resonance is always present, for which a harmonic distortion assessment considering all power frequency components along with the reactive elements of the ...
