Abstract

One of the challenges of the power quality management is a need for reliable harmonic identification in grids with multiple non-linear loads. This paper proposes a novel method to accurately determine time-varying harmonic contributions of non-linear loads to the total grid voltage distortion. The use of the invasive measurement approach and ternary pulse sequence as a stimuli guarantees an accurate assessment of harmonic contribution with the account for timevariating harmonic impacts. The application of proposed approach is demonstrated by means of time-domain grid simulation with implemented white-box model of a pulse sequence generator. Statistical estimation of the accuracy of the proposed approach as well as comparison with typical harmonic identification methods justify its effectiveness under non-stationary network conditions.
