In this paper, the harmonic response of an electric system under imbalance conditions is established. Symmetrical harmonic components are proposed to give a new way of interpreting resonance occurrence in three-phase power systems. A three-phase harmonic bus impedance matrix (THBIM) for a simple distribution system is derived using analytical procedures. The development of frequency scans for the THBIM elements in both phase and sequence reference frames is carried out. Simulation results show the benefits of the harmonic sequence components for characterization of the harmonic resonance conditions in unbalanced distribution systems, and for characterizing the effectiveness of the mitigating techniques. This method offers a new way to conduct harmonic analysis and diagnosis in unbalanced power systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
