DESCRIPTION:Presentation Scheduled for 2023 NAPS\n\nAs new technologies for
  load-based structures transition to more modern diode bridge and IGBT bas
 ed rectification configurations\, electrical harmonics become a key consid
 eration in planning for distribution grid design and load structure power 
 quality specification.\n\nMany Utilities within the US\, as well as\, arou
 nd the world are increasingly requiring customers to comply with the relev
 ant harmonic standards for their specificational realm. In the United Stat
 es and reciprocal with Canada\, IEEE 519-2022 is the foundation of most Pr
 ovider based PQ requirements for low-frequency harmonic applications (3 kH
 z or less)\, and IEC 61800-3 for high-frequency applications (150 kHz and 
 above)… meaning there is an entire bandwidth of potential harmonic frequ
 encies where no active standards make recommendations for current or volta
 ge harmonic limits (3 kHz – 150 kHz).\n\nLittle is taught or covered abo
 ut the applicational challenges of harmonic mitigation and design/specific
 ational “best practices” for assuring proper load structure power qual
 ity. IEEE-published paper references will be included for reference and re
 ferral.\n\n[Learn More](https://r3.ieee.org/wnc/wp-content/uploads/sites/8
