Harmonic analysis using ETAP

Harmonic analysis using ETAP involves studying the impact of


harmonics in an electrical power system. Harmonics are unwanted
sinusoidal distortions of the voltage and current waveforms that can
be caused by nonlinear loads, such as computers, variable frequency
drives, and other electronic devices. ETAP provides tools for
performing harmonic analysis to assess the levels of harmonics in the
system and their potential effects on power quality.

Harmonic analysis in ETAP allows you to understand how harmonics


are generated, propagated, and attenuated in your power system. It
helps you ensure compliance with power quality standards, prevent
equipment damage, and maintain stable and reliable operation. Keep
in mind that harmonic analysis requires a good understanding of
power systems and harmonic theory, so taking the time to learn the
fundamentals is important for accurate and meaningful results
series reactor
series reactors play a significant role in mitigating harmonics and
improving power quality. A series reactor is a passive device inserted
in series with a power system element, such as a transmission line or
capacitor bank. It is used to limit the flow of harmonic currents and
reduce voltage distortion caused by nonlinear loads and harmonics.
Harmonic Source Mitigation: Nonlinear loads, like variable frequency
drives (VFDs), can inject harmonic currents into the power system.
These harmonic currents can cause voltage distortion and affect other
connected loads. By placing a series reactor in line with the nonlinear
load, you can limit the flow of harmonic currents and prevent them
from spreading throughout the system.
Total Voltage Harmonic Distortion (THD):
One important aspect of the study is to evaluate the total voltage
harmonic distortion at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). This
involves quantifying the distortion in the voltage waveform caused by
the presence of harmonics. The analysis typically includes determining
the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) or other relevant harmonic
indices to assess if the distortion levels meet acceptable limits or
comply with industry standards.

Individual Harmonic Distortion:


Alongside the total harmonic distortion, the study may also involve
evaluating the individual harmonic distortion of voltage. This includes
analyzing the contribution of each harmonic component to the overall
distortion and assessing their respective magnitudes and effects on
the power system.
Total Demand Distortion(TDD):
In addition to voltage distortion, the study aims to evaluate the total
demand distortion of current at the PCC. This involves analyzing the
current waveform for distortions caused by the harmonics introduced
by the induction furnace load. Similar to voltage, total demand
distortion is quantified using relevant indices and compared against
acceptable limits or industry standards.
