7 Harmonic Mitigation for Distribution Systems with Inverter-Based DGs

DOI: 10.1201/9781003369448-7

7.1 Introduction

Nowadays, the power quality of distribution systems has become one of the most important challenges, especially after the widespread use of harmonic sources in distribution systems, which are considered as one of the most effective factors of power quality [92]. Harmonics presence in distribution systems can result in excessive losses andsystem equipment overheating and damage [13]. Consequently, to keep distribution systems reliable and working in high performance, harmonic levels should be kept within the allowable limits approved in the IEEE 519 standard [9]. However, due to the widespread use of power electronics devices ...
