Harmonic Analysis, Knowing the Basics is Essential
IEEE IAS Houston Presentation
Harmonic Analysis, Knowing the Basics is Essential
Harmonic analysis tools such as ETAP, EasyPower, CYME, and SKM are indispensable tools that aid engineers with the evaluation and mitigation of harmonics on industrial and utility power systems. However, when these tools are presented with bad input data or the program output is interpreted improperly it can lead to incorrect system designs.
In this IAS Session, NEPSI will provide the basics of harmonic analysis, (the ability to verify the output of your analysis program), the key steps in performing harmonic analysis, with discussion on input data (extent of modelling, impedance data, harmonic data, modeling of stray capacitance, interharmonics, and non-characteristic harmonics), data validation, model validation, filter design, resonance, and interpretation of program outputs, and more.
If you don’t understand the basics, you cannot trust the output of your harmonic analysis program.

Harmonic Analysis, Knowing the Basics is Essential
Biography:
Paul B. Steciuk is president and co-founder of Northeast Power Systems, Inc. (NEPSI), the leading global supplier of medium-voltage metal-enclosed power capacitor banks and harmonic filter systems. Mr. Steciuk has grown the company and provided engineering and product support to owners and operators of small and large industrial, commercial, renewable, and utility power systems through NEPSI for over 20 years.
With over 30 technical articles and white papers to his credit, Mr. Steciuk is an expert in harmonic analysis, filter design and application, power system analysis, and manufacturing design.
Mr. Steciuk has previous experience as a power system engineer at Power Technologies, Inc. (PTI), located in Schenectady, NY where he was responsible for various power system studies including system-wide voltage sag studies, harmonic analysis and filter design studies, load-flow, short-circuit, protective coordination, and transient analysis studies.
He also worked as an application and design engineer at Commonwealth Sprague Capacitor, Inc. (CSCI), located in North Adams, MA. designing and developing low voltage automatic power factor correction equipment and harmonic filters.
Born in Troy, NY, Mr. Steciuk received his B.S. and M.E. degrees in Electric Power Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY.
