In this seminar attendees can expect to lea rn:\n\nAbstract:\n\nModern harmonic-analysis programs such as EasyPower\, ETAP\, DIgSILENT PowerFactory\, and similar tools can solve complex power systems quickly\, but the engineer still needs to understand what the soft ware is calculating\, which assumptions matter\, and whether the results m ake physical sense.\n\nThis presentation develops harmonic analysis from t hose fundamentals. Beginning with nonlinear waveforms and Fourier analysis \, it shows how a power system can be represented and solved as a separate electrical network at each harmonic frequency. Using a practical medium-v oltage industrial system\, attendees are taken through the modeling of sou rce impedance\, transformers\, capacitor banks\, motors\, plant loads\, an d harmonic current injections\, followed by the calculation and interpreta tion of harmonic voltage and current distortion.\n\nParticular emphasis is placed on system resonance\, how capacitor banks interact with frequency- dependent system impedance\, why resonant frequencies move with operating conditions\, and how relatively small harmonic currents can produce severe voltage distortion and current magnification.\n\nThe presentation then mo ves from analysis to mitigation\, comparing the application and performanc e of notch-tuned\, detuned\, high-pass\, C-high-pass\, and H-type harmonic filters. Practical examples illustrate tuning\, damping\, filter interact ion\, interharmonics\, resistor losses\, resonance control\, and economic tradeoffs in filter selection.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Donald G.
