What are Harmonic Studies?Harmonic studies are performed to determine harmonic distortion levels and filtering requirements within a facility and to determine if harmonic voltages and currents are at acceptable levels. Field measurements and computer simulations are used to characterize adjustable-speed drives (ASDs) and other nonlinear loads and simulations are then performed to determine the filter specifications and effectiveness. The application of harmonic filters will significantly alter the frequency response of the power system. An evaluation of the harmonic voltage and current limits, (e.g., IEEE Std. 519) is completed to determine the effectiveness of the proposed filter installation. Why are Harmonic Studies important?
Harmonic studies should be considered whenever there are solid state drivers or electric furnaces and capacitor banks in the power system. Contact Us for more information on Harmonic Studies. |
