A discriminative approach to harmonic emission assessment
Peterson, Brandon; Rens, Johan; Botha, Gerhard; Desmet, Jan (IEEE, 2015)With the onset of renewable power sources onto the network, such as Photovoltaic power plants contributing to Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in voltage, a methodology to quantify their contribution to the THD in voltage ... -
Evaluation of harmonic distortion from multiple renewable sources at a distribution substation
Peterson, Brandon; Rens, Johan; Botha, Gerhard; Meyer, Jan; Desmet, Jan (IEEE, 2017)Harmonic emission assessment in a distribution network with existing background voltage harmonics is a challenge for Renewable Power Producers (RPP) aiming to achieve grid code compliance. Dynamic interaction of harmonic ... -
Harmonic emission assessment on a distribution network: the opportunity for the prevailing angle in harmonic phasors
Peterson, Brandon; Rens, Johan; Desmet, Jan (IET, 2017)Harmonic emission assessment in high-voltage networks with a number of renewable power plants (RPP) interconnected is challenging. A sound scientific methodology readily accessible to engineers is needed to validate ... -
On the assessment of harmonic emission in distribution networks: opportunity for the prevailing harmonic phase angle
Peterson, Brandon; Rens, Johan; Botha, Gerhard; Meyer, Jan; Desmet, Jan (IEEE, 2016)Harmonic emission assessment for Grid Code compliance of Renewable Power Plants (RPP) has to be fair and pragmatic. The CIGRE C4.109 method lacks the ability to determine which harmonic currents have a positive or negative ... -
Power quality grid code compliance for renewable power plants in South Africa
Minnaar, Ulrich John; Rens, Johan; Botha, Gerhard; Peterson, Brandon; Mostert, Hennie (IET, 2019)The introduction of renewable generation to South Africa's grid has introduced challenges to the management and regulation of power quality (PQ). These have been addressed by establishing PQ compliance criteria in line ...
