  2. IEEE Standard 519-1992 Harmonic Distortion Evaluations • Limit harmonic current injections from end users so that harmonic voltage distortion is tolerable. • Limit harmonic voltage (responsibility of utility).

  4. End users are limited at PCC in terms of • individual harmonic components and • total demand distortion • Utility is mainly responsible for limiting voltage distortion at PCC • Evaluations: • Measurement of currents injected by load (over one week period) • Calculation of frequency response of system impedances (using harmonic calculation software)

  5. Table 6.1 Harmonic voltage distortion limits in % of nominal fundamental- frequency voltage

  6. Table 6.2 Harmonic current limits

  7. Ih is rms magnitude of individual harmonic current • Isc is the short-circuit current at PCC • IL is the fundamental component of the maximum demand current (average max demand over 12 months) • Individual limits apply to odd-order harmonics, even order limits are at 25% of indicated value

  8. For power converters with more than 6 pulses, where q = pulse number, multiply limits in table 6.2 by

  9. Controlling harmonics • Control only when harmonics create a problem. Types of problems: • load harmonic currents are too large • path for harmonic currents is too long electrically (too much impedance) producing voltage distortion or communication-line interference • response of system magnifies one or more harmonics

  10. Options for control • Reduce magnitude of harmonic currents from load • Add filters to do one or more of these: • short out (siphon off) the harmonic • block harmonic currents from entering part of the system • supply the harmonics locally • Modify the frequency response of the system by filters or other means

  11. Reducing load harmonic current • Sometimes transformer connections can be changed, for example: • phase shift on some transformers supplying 6-pulse converters • delta windings block triplen currents • zig-zag transformers can supply triplens

  12. Zig-zag transformer

  13. Zig zag transformer • Place the transformer to supply balanced triplen harmonics (and any other zero-sequence currents) to load • This will unload zero sequence currents on circuits upstream of the ZZ transformer, with little or no effect downstream • Fault study results may be affected

  14. Placement of ZZ transformer a b c I3 n 3I3 Unloads the neutral conductor upstream

  15. Filtering • Shunt passive filter: short-circuit harmonic currents close to their source • Series passive filter: block harmonic currents from power delivery system (may cause large load voltage distortion) • Active shunt filter: electronically supply low-order harmonics to a nonlinear load (used with simple passive filters for higher frequency components).

  16. Passive Filters • Shunt passive filters are • notch filters, tuned to a specific harmonic frequency, or • high-pass filters high-pass filter notch filter

  17. Modifying system frequency response • Add a shunt filter to the system • Add a reactor (e.g., in series with a pf correction capacitor) to de-tune system • Change pf correction capacitor size or placement, or remove capacitor bank entirely

  18. Where to control harmonics • On utility system or end-user facility • utility system is more difficult to filter unless we can move or change the size of or reconnect a capacitor • end-user system may be easier to filter if we can access the feeder(s) where the harmonic currents are being produced

  19. Filters • In-line reactors (or chokes) for ASD • Isolation transformers can help • Isolation transformers can be reconnected with different phase shifts ASD M Xs Xt reactor 0-5% on ASD kVA

  20. Isolation transformers X~5% 480 V bus M ASD M ASD Approximates a 12-pulse converter with 6-pulse converters by putting half on Delta-Delta transformers and the half on Delta-Y. 12-pulse has Ih = 0 for h = 5, 7

  21. Harmonic studies • Perform harmonic studies when • a problem occurs, to find a solution • planning large capacitor bank installation on either utility or industrial system • planning installation of large nonlinear load such as adjustable speed motor drives (ASD) • designing a harmonic filter or converting a capacitor to a harmonic filter
