Power generation & distribution; Electronics engineering

Harmonics, Power Systems, and Smart Grids, Second Edition compiles the most relevant aspects of harmonics in a way that the unfamiliar reader can better grasp the subject matter and the experienced reader can directly access specific subjects of interest. The text begins with a definition of harmonics, along with analytical expressions for electrical parameters under nonsinusoidal situations, and then:

Discusses important and widely used industry standards to control harmonic distortion levels

Describes methods to mitigate the effects of harmonics, detailing the operation principles and design of passive filters and active filter fundamentals

Presents alternative methods, such as stiffer AC sources, power converters with increased number of pulses, series reactors, and load reconfiguration

Reviews the elements that play a role in the study of the propagation of harmonic currents in a distribution network

Explains how to determine power losses in electrical equipment attributed to harmonic waveform distortion

Covers harmonics from solar and wind power converters and power electronics in FACTS and HVDC technologies

Explores harmonics from electric vehicles connected to the grid, superconductive fault current limiters, and electric vehicle charging stations

Featuring three new chapters, a number of new examples and figures, and updates throughout, Harmonics, Power Systems, and Smart Grids, Second Edition provides a comprehensive reference on harmonic current generation, propagation, and control in electrical power networks, including the broadly cited smart grid.

Reviews for Harmonics, Power Systems, and Smart Grids

... allows students and professionals in electrical engineering to have applicable knowledge of the harmonic phenomena in power systems including nonconventional sources of energy. ... an excellent reference for those who work in areas such as power quality for its clear concepts and practical examples. -Professor Horacio Torres-Sanchez, National University of Colombia, Bogota This is a book that has advantage of treating the matter of interest with clarity, in a way that the unfamiliar reader can better grasp and get up to date with the subject matter and that the experienced reader can directly get to specific subjects of interest . The sample chapters that I have received confirm that. Reference to real cases is made, which makes its impact even more effective. -Carlo Alberto Nucci, University of Bologna
