CHAPTER 1
POWER SYSTEM HARMONICS
The electrical power systems should be designed not only for the sinusoidal currents
and voltages but also for nonlinear and electronically switched loads. There has been
an increase in such loads in the recent times, and these can introduce harmonic pol-
lution, distort current and voltage waveforms, create resonances, increase the system
losses, and reduce the useful life of the electrical equipment. Harmonics are one of
the major problems of ensuring a certain power quality. This requires a careful anal-
ysis of harmonic generation and their measurements and the study of the deleterious
effects, harmonic controls, and limitation to acceptable levels. Interest in harmonic
analysis dates back to the early 1990s in connection with high voltage DC (HVDC)
systems and static var compensators (SVC; Reference [1]). The analytical and har-
monic limitation technology has progressed much during this period (see Reference
[2] for a historical overview of the harmonics in power systems).
DC power is required for a number of applications from small amount of power
for computers, video equipment, battery chargers, UPS (uninterrptible power sup-
plies) systems to large chunks of power for electrolysis, DC drives, and the like. A
greater percentage of office and commercial building loads are electronic in nature,
which have DC as the internal operating voltage. Fuel and solar cells and batteries can
be directly connected to a DC system, and the double conversion of power from DC to
AC and then from AC to DC can be avoided. A case study conducted by Department
of Electrical Power Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg,
Sweden is presented in [3]. This compares reliability, voltage drops, cable sizing,
grounding and safety: AC verses DC distribution system. In Reference [4], DC ship-
board distribution system envisaged by US Navy is discussed. Two steam turbine
synchronous generators are connected to 7000 V DC bus through rectifiers, and DC
loads are served through DC–DC converters. However, this is not a general trend,
bulk and consumer power distribution systems are AC; and we will not be discussing
industrial or commercial DC distribution systems in this book, except that HVDC
converter interactions with respect to harmonics and DC filters are of interest and
discussed in the appropriate chapters.
Harmonics in power systems originate due to varied operations, for example,
ferroresonance, magnetic saturation, subsynchronous resonance, and nonlinear
and electronically switched loads. Harmonic emission from nonlinear loads
predominates.

2 CHAPTER 1 POWER SYSTEM HARMONICS
1.1 NONLINEAR LOADS
To distinguish between linear and nonlinear loads, we may say that linear
time-invariant loads are characterized so that an application of a sinusoidal voltage
results in a sinusoidal flow of current. These loads display constant steady-state
impedance during the applied sinusoidal voltage. Incandescent lighting is an example
of such a load. The electrical motors not supplied through electronic converters also
approximately meet this definition. The current or voltage waveforms will be almost
sinusoidal, and their phase angles displaced depending on power factor of the elec-
trical circuit. Transformers and rotating machines, under normal loading conditions,
approximately meet this definition. Yet, it should be recognized that flux wave in the
air gap of a rotating machine is not sinusoidal. Tooth ripples and slotting in rotating
machines produce forward and reverse rotating harmonics. Magnetic circuits can
saturate and generate harmonics. Saturation in a transformer on abnormally high
voltage produces harmonics, as the relationship between magnetic flux density B
and the magnetic field intensity H in a magnetic material (the transformer core)
is not linear. Yet, the harmonics emissions from these sources are relatively small
(Chapter 3).
In a nonlinear device, the application of a sinusoidal voltage does not result in
a sinusoidal flow of current. These loads do not exhibit constant impedance during
the entire cycle of applied sinusoidal voltage. Nonlinearity is not the same as the
frequency dependence of impedance, that is, the reactance of a reactor changes in
proportion to the applied frequency, but it is linear at each applied frequency if we
neglect saturation and fringing. However, nonlinear loads draw a current that may
even be discontinuous or flow in pulses for a part of the sinusoidal voltage cycle.
Mathematically, linearity implies two conditions:
• Homogeneity
• Superposition
Consider the state of a system defined in the state equation form:
⋅
x = f[x(t), r(t), t] (1.1)
If x(t) is the solution to this differential equation with initial conditions x(t0) at t = t0
and input r(t), t > t0:
x(t) = 𝜑[x(t0), r(t)] (1.2)
then homogeneity implies that
𝜑[x(t0), 𝛼r(t)] = 𝛼𝜑[x(t0), r(t)] (1.3)
where 𝛼 is a scalar constant. This means that x(t) with input 𝛼r(t) is equal to 𝛼 times
x(t) with input r(t) for any scalar 𝛼.
Superposition implies that
𝜑[x(t0), r1(t) + r2(t)] = 𝜑[x(t0), r1(t)] + 𝜑[x(t0), r2(t)] (1.4)

1.2 INCREASES IN NONLINEAR LOADS 3
That is, x(t) with inputs r1(t) + r2(t) is equal to the sum of x(t) with input r1(t) and
x(t) with input r2(t).Thus, linearity is superimposition plus homogeneity.
1.2 INCREASES IN NONLINEAR LOADS
Nonlinear loads are continuously on the increase. It is estimated that, during the next
10 years, more than 60% of the loads on utility systems will be nonlinear. Also much
of the electronic load growth involves residential sector and household appliances.
Concerns for harmonics originate from meeting a certain power quality, which leads
to the related issues of (1) effects on the operation of electrical equipment, (2) har-
monic analysis, and (3) harmonic control. A growing number of consumer loads are
sensitive to poor power quality, and it is estimated that power quality problems cost
US industry tens of billion of dollars per year. Although the expanded use of con-
sumer automation equipment and power electronics is leading to higher productivity,
these heavy loads are a source of electrical noise and harmonics and are less tolerant
to poor power quality. For example, adjustable speed drives (ASDs) are less tolerant
to voltage sags and swells as compared to an induction motor; and a voltage dip of
10% of certain time duration may precipitate ASD shutdown. These generate line har-
monics and a source containing harmonics impacts their operation, leading to further
generation of harmonics. This implies that the nonlinear loads which are a source
of generation of harmonics are themselves relatively less tolerant to the poor power
quality that originates from harmonic emission from these loads.
Some examples of nonlinear loads are as follows:
• ASD systems
• Cycloconverters
• Arc furnaces
• Rolling mills
• Switching mode power supplies
• Computers, copy machines, television sets, and home appliances
• Pulse burst modulation
• Static var compensators (SVCs)
• Thyristor-controlled reactors (TCRs)
• HVDC transmission, harmonics originate in converters
• Electric traction, chopper circuits
• Wind and solar power generation
• Battery charging and fuel cells
• Slip frequency recovery schemes of induction motors
• Fluorescent lighting and electronic ballasts
• Electrical vehicle charging systems
• Silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) heating, induction heating, and arc welding.

The harmonics are also generated in conventional power equipment, such as
transformer and motors. Saturation and switching of transformers generate harmon-
ics. The harmonic generation is discussed in Chapters 3–5. The application of capaci-
tor banks for power factor corrections and reactive power support can cause resonance
and further distortions of waveforms (Chapter 9). Earlier rotating synchronous con-
densers have been replaced with modern shunt capacitors or SVCs (Chapter 4).
1.3 EFFECTS OF HARMONICS
Harmonics cause distortions of the voltage and current waveforms, which have
adverse effects on electrical equipment. The estimation of harmonics from nonlinear
loads is the first step in a harmonic analysis, and this may not be straightforward.
There is an interaction between the harmonic producing equipment, which can have
varied topologies, and the electrical system. Over the course of years, much attention
has been focused on the analysis and control of harmonics, and standards have been
established for permissible harmonic current and voltage distortions (Chapter 10).
The effects of harmonics are discussed in Chapter 8.
1.4 DISTORTED WAVEFORMS
Harmonic emissions can have varied amplitudes and frequencies. The most com-
mon harmonics in power systems are sinusoidal components of a periodic waveform,
which have frequencies that can be resolved into some multiples of the fundamental
frequency. Fourier analysis is the mathematical tool employed for such analysis, and
Chapter 2 provides an overview.
The components in a Fourier series that are not an integral multiple of the power
frequency are called noninteger harmonics (Chapter 5).
The distortion produced by nonlinear loads can be resolved into a number of
categories:
• A distorted waveform having a Fourier series with fundamental frequency equal
to power system frequency and a periodic steady state exists. This is the most
common case in harmonic studies. The waveform shown in Fig. 1.1 is syn-
thesized from the harmonics shown in Table 1.1. The waveform in Fig. 1.1 is
symmetrical about the x-axis and can be described by the equation:
I = sin(𝜔t − 30∘) + 0.17 sin(5𝜔t + 174∘) + 0.12 sin(7𝜔t + 101∘) + …
Chapter 4 shows that this waveform is typically of a six-pulse current source
converter, harmonics limited to 23rd, though higher harmonics will be present.
The harmonic emission varies over wide range of distorted waveforms.
Figure 1.2 shows a typical waveform for HVDC link, DC drives, and a
six-pulse voltage source inverter (VSI) ASD, Ref. [1]. Chapter 4 studies
typical waveforms and distortions from various types of power electronic

switching equipment. This is the most common situation in practice, and the
distorted waveforms can be decomposed into a number of harmonics. The
system can usually be modeled as a linear system.
• A distorted waveform having a submultiple of power system frequency and a
periodic steady state exists. Certain types of pulsed loads and integral cycle
controllers produce these types of waveforms (Chapters 4 and 5).
• The waveform is aperiodic, but perhaps almost periodic. A trigonometric series
expansion may still exist. Examples are arcing devices: arc furnaces, fluores-
cent, mercury, and sodium vapor lighting. The process is not periodic in nature,
and a periodic waveform is obtained if the conditions of operation are kept con-
stant for a length of time. Consider the current signature of an arc furnace during
scrap melting (Fig. 1.3). The waveform is highly distorted and aperiodic. Yet,
typical harmonic emissions from arc furnace during melting and refining have
been defined in IEEE standard 519 [5].
The arc furnace loads are highly polluting and cause phase unbalance, flicker,
impact loading, harmonics, interharmonics, and resonance, and may give rise to tor-
sional vibrations in rotating equipment.
1.4.1 Harmonics and Power Quality
Harmonics are one of the major power quality concerns. The power quality concerns
embrace much wider concerns such as voltage sags and swells, transients, under and
overvoltages, frequency variations, outright interruptions, power quality for sensitive
electronic equipment such as computers. Table 3.1 summarizes some power quality
problems. A reference of importance is IEEE Recommended Practice for Emergency
and Standby Power Systems for Industrial and Commercial Applications, [6]. This
book is not about power quality; however, some important publications are separately
listed in References for the interested readers.

1.5 HARMONICS AND SEQUENCE COMPONENTS 7
1.5 HARMONICS AND SEQUENCE COMPONENTS
The theory of sequence components is not discussed in this book and references
[7–10] may be seen. In a three-phase balanced system under nonsinusoidal condi-
tions, the hth-order harmonic voltage (or current) can be expressed as
Vah =
∑
h≠1
Vh(h𝜔0t − 𝜃h) (1.5)
Vbh =
∑
h≠1
Vh(h𝜔0t − (h𝜋∕3)𝜃h) (1.6)
Vch =
∑
h≠1
Vh(h𝜔0t − (2h𝜋∕3)𝜃h) (1.7)
Based on Eqs. (1.5–1.7) and counterclockwise rotation of the fundamental phasors,
we can write
Va = V1 sin 𝜔t + V2 sin 2𝜔t + V3 sin 3𝜔t + V4 sin 4𝜔t + V5 sin 5𝜔t + ....
Vb = V1 sin(𝜔t − 120∘) + V2 sin(2𝜔t − 240∘) + V3 sin(3𝜔t − 360∘) + V4 sin(4𝜔t − 480∘)
+ V5 sin(5𝜔t − 600∘) + ....
= V1 sin(𝜔t − 120∘) + V2 sin(2𝜔t + 120∘) + V3 sin 3𝜔t + V4 sin(4𝜔t − 120∘)
+ V5 sin(5𝜔t + 120∘) + ....
Vc = V1 sin(𝜔t + 120∘) + V2 sin(2𝜔t + 240∘) + V3 sin(3𝜔t + 360∘) + V4 sin(4𝜔t + 480∘)
+ V5 sin(5𝜔t + 600∘) + ....
= V1 sin(𝜔t + 120∘) + V2 sin(2𝜔t − 120∘) + V3 sin 3𝜔t + V4 sin(4𝜔t + 120∘)
+ V5 sin(5𝜔t − 120∘) + ....
Under balanced conditions, the hth harmonic (frequency of harmonic = h times the fundamen-
tal frequency) of phase b lags h times 120∘ behind that of the same harmonic in phase a. The
hth harmonic of phase c lags h times 240∘ behind that of the same harmonic in phase a. In the
case of triplen harmonics, shifting the phase angles by three times 120∘ or three times 240∘
results in cophasial vectors.
Table 1.2 shows the sequence of harmonics, and the pattern is clearly
positive–negative–zero. We can write
Harmonics of the order 3h + 1 have positive sequence (1.8)
Harmonics of the order 3h + 2 have negative sequence (1.9)
Harmonics of the order 3h are of zero sequence (1.10)
All triplen harmonics generated by nonlinear loads are zero sequence phasors. These
add up in the neutral. In a three-phase four-wire system, with perfectly balanced

single-phase loads between the phase and neutral, all positive and negative sequence
harmonics will cancel out leaving only the zero sequence harmonics.
In an unbalanced three-phase system, serving single-phase load, the neutral car-
ries zero sequence and the residual unbalance of positive and negative sequence cur-
rents. Even harmonics are absent in the line because of phase symmetry (Chapter 2),
and unsymmetrical waveforms will add even harmonics to the phase conductors, for
example, half-controlled three-phase bridge circuit discussed in Chapter 4.
1.5.1 Sequence Impedances of Power System Components
Positive, negative, and zero sequence impedances vary over large limits, depending
on the power system equipment. For example, for transformers, positive and nega-
tive sequence impedances may be considered equal, but zero sequence impedance
can be infinite depending on transformer winding connections and grounding. The
zero sequence impedance of transmission lines can be two to three times that of the
positive or negative sequence impedance. Even for fundamental frequency current
flow, the accurate modeling of sequence impedances is important and the sequence
impedances to harmonics must be modeled (Chapter 12).

1.6 HARMONIC INDICES 9
1.6 HARMONIC INDICES
1.6.1 Harmonic Factor
An index of merit has been defined as a harmonic distortion factor [5] (harmonic
factor). It is the ratio of the root mean square of the harmonic content to the root
mean square value of the fundamental quantity, expressed as a percentage of the
fundamental:
DF =

The most commonly used index, total harmonic distortion (THD), which is in
common use is the same as DF.

(1.20)
Similar expression is applicable for the voltage. The PWHD evaluates influence of
current or voltage harmonics of higher order. The sum parameters are calculated with
single harmonic current components Ih.
1.6.3 Telephone Inﬂuence Factor
Harmonics generate telephone Influence through inductive coupling. The telephone
influence factor (TIF) for a voltage or current wave in an electrical supply circuit is
the ratio of the square root of the sum of the squares of the weighted root mean square
values of all the sine wave components (including AC waves both fundamental and
harmonic) to the root mean square value (unweighted) of the entire wave:
TIF =
√∑
W2
f I2
f
Irms
(1.21)
where If is the single frequency rms current at frequency f, Wf is the single frequency
TIF weighting at frequency f. The voltage can be substituted for current. This def-
inition may not be so explicit, see example in Chapter 8 for calculation. A similar
expression can be written for voltage.

1.7 POWER FACTOR, DISTORTION FACTOR, AND TOTAL POWER FACTOR 11
IT product is the inductive influence expressed in terms of the product of its
root mean square magnitude I in amperes times its TIF.

kVT product is the inductive influence expressed in terms of the product of its root
mean square magnitude in kV times its TIF.

(1.23)
The telephone weighting factor that reflects the present C message weighting and the
coupling normalized to 1 kHz is given by:
Wf = 5Pf f (1.24)
where Pf = C message weighting at frequency f under consideration. See
Section 8.12 for further details.
1.7 POWER FACTOR, DISTORTION FACTOR, AND
TOTAL POWER FACTOR
For sinusoidal voltages and currents, the power factor is defined as kW/kVA and the
power factor angle 𝜙 is
𝜑 = cos−1 kW
kVA
= tan−1 kvar
kW
(1.25)
The power factor in presence of harmonics comprises two components: dis-
placement and distortion. The effect of the two is combined in total power factor.
The displacement component is the ratio of active power of the fundamental wave
in watts to apparent power of fundamental wave in volt-amperes. This is the power
factor as seen by the watt-hour and var-hour meters. The distortion component is the
part that is associated with harmonic voltages and currents.
PFt = PFf × PFdistortion (1.26)
At fundamental frequency the displacement power factor will be equal to the total
power factor, as the displacement power factor does not include kVA due to harmon-
ics, while the total power factor does include it. For harmonic generating loads, the
total power factor will always be less than the displacement power factor.
Continuing with the relation between power factor and displacement factor, the
power factor of a converter with DC-link reactor is given by the expression from IEEE
519, Ref. [5]:
Total PF =
q
𝜋
sin
(
𝜋
q
)
(1.27)

where q is the number of converter pulses and 𝜋∕q is the angle in radians (see
Chapter 4). This ignores commutation overlap and no-phase overlap, and neglects
transformer magnetizing current. For a six-pulse converter, the maximum power
factor is 3∕𝜋 = 0.955. A 12-pulse converter has a theoretical maximum power factor
of 0.988. The power factor drops drastically with the increase in firing angle.
Note that the power factor is a function of the drive topology, for example, with
pulse width modulation, the input power factor is dependent on the type of converter
only and the motor power factor is compensated by a capacitor in the DC link.
In the case of sinusoidal voltage and current, the following relationship holds
S2
= P2
+ Q2
(1.28)
where P is the active power, Q is the reactive volt-ampere, and S is the volt-ampere.
This relationship has been amply explored in load flow programs:
S = Vf If , Q = Vf If sin(𝜃f − 𝛿f ), P = Vf If cos(𝜃f − 𝛿f ), and PF = P∕S (1.29)
𝜃f − 𝛿f = phase angle between fundamental voltage and fundamental current.
In the case of nonlinear load or when the source has nonsinusoidal waveform,
the active power P can be defined as
P =
h=∞
∑
h=1
VhIh cos(𝜃h − 𝛿h) (1.30)
Q can be written as
Q =
h=∞
∑
h=1
VhIh sin(𝜃h − 𝛿h) (1.31)
Vh and Ih are in rms values, and the apparent power can be defined as
S =
√
P2 + Q2 + D2 (1.32)
where D is the distortion power. Consider D2 up to the third harmonic:
D2

− (V1I1 sin 𝜃1 + V2I2 sin 𝜃2 + V3I3 sin 𝜃3)2
(1.33)
An expression for distortion power factor can be arrived from current and volt-
age harmonic distortion factors. From the definition of these factors, rms harmonic
voltages and currents can be written as

defined earlier.
The discussion is continued in Chapter 4. The modern trends in converter tech-
nology are to compensate for line harmonics and improve power factor to approxi-
mately unity simultaneously (Chapter 6).
1.8 POWER THEORIES
A number of power theories exist to explain the active, reactive, and instantaneous
power relations in presence of harmonics, each fraught with some controversies:
1. Fryze theory in time domain
2. Shepherd and Zakikhani theory in frequency domain
3. Czarnecki power theory in frequency domain
4. Nabe and Akagi instantaneous power theory
See references [12–16].

The active power also called real power is the average value of instantaneous power
measured over a certain time period, say, 𝜏 to 𝜏 + kT
We will denote instantaneous values in lowercase (v and i in (1.39) are in peak
values).
pa = VI cos 𝜃[1 − cos(2𝜔t)] = P[1 − cos(2𝜔t]
pq = −VI sin 𝜃 sin(2𝜔t) = −Q sin(2𝜔t) (1.40)
The energy flows unidirectional from source to load pa ≥ 0. The instantaneous active
power has two terms, active or real power and the intrinsic power −P cos 2𝜔t, which
is always present when energy is transferred from source to load. If load is inductive
Q > 0, and if load is capacitive Q < 0.
Figure 1.4 illustrates the instantaneous power components in single-phase cir-
cuits: the nonnegative component pa, the oscillatory component pb, and total instan-
taneous power pi are shown.

It has two terms: Ph = VhIh cos 𝜃h and the intrinsic harmonic power −Ph cos(2h𝜔t −
2𝛼h), which does not contribute to the net transfer of energy or additional power loss
in the conductors.
Also, fundamental active power is

And harmonic active power is

1.8.3 Three-Phase Systems
We can consider
• Balanced three-phase voltages and currents
• Asymmetrical voltages or load currents
• Nonlinear loads
Figure 1.5(a) shows balanced three-phase voltages and currents and balanced
resistive load, and Fig. 1.5(b) depicts the instantaneous power in Fig. 1.5(a). The
summation of phase instantaneous active powers in three phases is constant. Thus,
the concepts arrived at in single-phase circuits cannot be applied. We examined that
in single-phase circuits the active power has an intrinsic power component.
In three-phase circuits, it is impossible to separate reactive power on the basis
of instantaneous power. Reactive power interpretation of single-phase circuits cannot
be applied.
Figure 1.6 shows waveforms of voltages and currents in three-phase circuits
with unbalanced resistive load. Now, the instantaneous active power is no longer
constant. Considering three-phase circuit as three single-phase circuits leads to major
misinterpretation of power phenomena.
Figure 1.7 depicts the symmetrical nonlinear load current and symmetrical
waveforms of the supply voltage. Again the instantaneous active power is no longer
constant. The individual instantaneous active powers in phases are shown in Fig. 1.8.
The extension of concept of apparent power in three-phase circuits has led to

So long as the supply voltage is sinusoidal and symmetrical, and the load is
balanced, these three relations (Eqs. (1.49), (1.51), and (1.52)) give the same correct
result. If one of the above conditions is not met, the results will differ. Buchholz
definition of apparent power allows correct calculation of apparent power.

1.8.4 Nonsinusoidal and Unbalanced Three-Phase Systems
For nonsinusoidal and unbalanced three-phase systems, the following treatment can
be applied:
Effective apparent power Se can be written as
S2
e = p2

(1.54)
where N is nonactive power and p is the active power.

Example 1.1: This example is based on Ref. [13]. Consider nonsinusoidal voltage
and currents containing harmonics of the order of 3rd, 5th, and 7th.

Then,
p = phh + pmn
phh = v1i1 + v3i3 + v5i5 + v7i7
pmn = v1(i3 + i5 + i7) + v3(i1 + i5 + i7) + v5(i1 + i3 + i7) + v7(i1 + i3 + i5)
Pmn is the instantaneous power that contains only cross terms.
The direct product yields
vhih =

√
2Ih sin(h𝜔t − 𝛽h)
= Ph[1 − cos(2h𝜔t − 2𝛼h)] − Qh sin(2h𝜔t − 2𝛼h)
where
Ph = VhIh cos(𝜃h) Qh = VhIh sin(𝜃h)
are the harmonic active and reactive powers of order h, and 𝜃h = (𝛽h − 𝛼h) is the phase
angle between phasors Vh and Ih.
The total active power is

Consider following instantaneous currents and voltages:

v3 =

v7 =
√
2 ⋅ 5 sin(7𝜔t + 20∘) i7 =
√
2 ⋅ 10 sin(7𝜔t + 234∘)
The calculated active powers are shown in Table 1.4. The total harmonic power PH =
−27.46 < 0∘ is supplied by the load and injected into the power system. This is typical
for dominant nonlinear loads. Bulk of the power is supplied to the load by fundamen-
tal component.
The reactive powers are shown in Table 1.5. Q5 is negative, while all others are
positive. Note that it will be incorrect to arithmetically add the reactive powers, and
it will give incorrect power loss due to reactive power. The arithmetic sum of reactive
powers is 4984.67 var. Then the reactive power loss calculated in a resistance of 1 ohm
and voltage of 240 volts is

The power components are shown in Fig. 1.9.
1.8.5 Instantaneous Power Theory
The Nabe–Akagi instantaneous reactive power p–q theory is based on Clark’s com-
ponent transformations [10] and provides power properties in three-phase circuits.
Figure 1.10 shows the transformation of a − b − c coordinates into 𝛼 − 𝛽 − 0 coor-
dinates. The description of power properties of the electrical circuits using instanta-
neous voltage and current values without the use of Fourier series generates interest
in this theory, used for switching compensators and active filter controls.
The instantaneous power method calculates the desired current so that the
instantaneous active power and reactive power in a three-phase system are kept con-
stant, that is, the active filter compensates for variation in instantaneous power [17].

By linear transformation, the phase voltages ea, eb, ec and load currents ia, ib, ic are
transformed into an 𝛼 − 𝛽 (two-phase) coordinate system:

The sum of the instantaneous active powers in two axes coincides with the instan-
taneous real power in the three-phase circuit. The instantaneous reactive powers Paq
and P𝛽q cancel each other and make no contribution to the instantaneous power flow
from the source to the load.
Consider instantaneous power flow in a three-phase cycloconverter. The instan-
taneous reactive power on the source side is the instantaneous reactive power circu-
lating between source and cycloconverter while the instantaneous reactive power on
the output side is the instantaneous reactive power between the cycloconverter and

1.9 AMPLIFICATION AND ATTENUATION OF HARMONICS 27
the load. Therefore, there is no relationship between the instantaneous reactive pow-
ers on the input and output sides, and the instantaneous imaginary power on the input
side is not equal to the instantaneous imaginary power on the output side. However,
assuming zero active power loss in the converter, the instantaneous real power on the
input side is equal to the real output power. An application to active filters is discussed
in Chapter 6.
The author in Ref. [15] critiques this theory that it suggests an erroneous
interpretation of three-phase power circuits. According to the theory, instantaneous
imaginary current can occur in the current of a load with zero reactive power, Also
instantaneous active current may occur in the current of a load with zero active
power.
1.9 AMPLIFICATION AND ATTENUATION
OF HARMONICS
Harmonics originating from their source are propagated in the power systems and
their impact can be present at a distance [18]. In this process, the harmonics can be
either amplified or mitigated. Capacitor banks in the power system are a major source
of harmonic amplifications and waveform distortions. Many different types of har-
monic sources may be dispersed throughout the system, and the current and voltage
distortions due to these become of concern. Utilities must maintain a certain voltage
quality at the consumer premises and, in turn, the harmonics injected into the power
systems by a consumer must be controlled and limited. The nature of power system:
industrial plant distributions, commercial distribution systems, and utility distribution
or transmission systems are important in this aspect. An analysis requires correct esti-
mation of the harmonic generation at a certain point in the power systems, modeling
of system components and harmonics themselves for accurate results, for example,
constant current injection models for all types of harmonic generation may not be
accurate. Based on the accurate harmonic analysis, provisions of active harmonic
mitigation strategies at the source of harmonic generation can be applied to limit
the harmonics. Passive filters are another important option, especially in large Mvar
ratings. These subjects are covered in this book.
New Power Conversion Techniques
Advances in power electronics have resulted in techniques for improving the current
wave shape and power factor simultaneously, minimizing the filter requirements [19].
In general, these systems use high-frequency switching to achieve greater flexibility
in power conversion and can reduce the lower order harmonics also. Distortion is cre-
ated at high-frequency switching, which is generally above 20 kHz, and the distortion
cannot penetrate into the system (see Chapter 6).
Some publications (books only) on harmonics are separately listed in Refer-
ences. Also some important ANSI/IEEE standards, though referenced appropriately
in the rest of the book, are listed.
