IEEE IAS -Variable Frequency Drives and Harmonics
This presentation covers basics of variable frequency drives and their relation to harmonics in power systems.
VFDs are one of the non-linear loads commonly used in the power systems. This makes them one of the most common sources of harmonics. Impacts of the harmonics on power systems as well as methods to minimize and mitigate them will be discussed.
VFDs, additionally, generate harmonics on their output side which is connected to AC motors. Impacts of the harmonics on the motors will be covered. Different technologies and techniques that can help improving motor friendliness of VFDs will be introduced.
The tutorial will be useful for those who get involved with using and specifying AC motors, using and specifying VFDs and designing VFD-Motor-Load lineups.

Mr. Navid Binesh
Variable Frequency Drives and Harmonics
Biography:
Navid Binesh, graduated with MASc from Ryerson University in Electrical Engineering. During his academic research, which was focused on multi-level variable frequency drives, he collaborated closely with R&D team at Rockwell Automation working on parallel connected current source converters (PowerFlex 7000 product). Later, he joined global R&D team at Siemens Industry and started working on SINAMICS GH180 (Perfect Harmony) product line. He was involved in various new product and application development projects. Currently, he is with Benshaw, a brand of Regal Beloit Corporation, contributing to development and applications of M2L 3000 MV Drive product line.
He is a member of IEEE, focusing much of his attention on Power Electronics society (PELS), Power and Energy society (PES) and Industry Applications society (IAS). He has provided several tutorials and talks on topics related to power systems, electrical motors and variable speed drives. He also collaborates with multiple technical conferences including ECCE, PEMD and PCIC as an industry reviewer. In addition to technical roles, he is currently serving IEEE Pittsburgh section as a Vice-chairman.
