Power system harmonics currently create pollution in the power system just like carbon dioxide and other gases create air pollution. It is like a disease that needs to be treated because it has adverse effects directly or indirectly on equipment like motors, transformers, induction heaters, etc. It leads to energy loss due to poor power factor. This class is intended to create awareness regarding power system harmonics. The lessons are designed for industry professionals who are associated with operation and maintenance, engineering students, and even for design engineers.

What will you learn in this course?

• The definition of harmonics is briefly interpreted
• Factors that are responsible for harmonics current generation is discussed
• Devices producing harmonics and how they produce are discussed
• Harmonics analysis is explained with the help of Matlab where required
• Effects of the harmonics current on various equipment used in the power system
• Interpretation of IEEE Std. 519-1992, 2014
• Know how to find harmonics current and where to look for them
• Know the various mitigation techniques to limit harmonics current in the power system

At the end you should able to learn:

• Identify harmonics distortion sources in the power system
• Recognize the symptoms of harmonics presence by knowing the effects of harmonics on various equipment like transformers, motors, power cables, and electronics devices, etc
• Select the suitable harmonics analysis technique
•  Provide a suitable solution for harmonics reduction and mitigation
• Ultimately students can be able to connect the dots of understanding related to harmonics
