 Harmonic Analysis Exercise 1

Specify Harmonic Voltage Distortion Limit:

Bus Main Bus

Category PCC

VTHD Limit 5%

VIHD Limit 3%

Bus Bus2

Category Dedicated

VTHD Limit 10 %

VIHD Limit 5%

Bus All other

Category General

VTHD Limit 2.5 %

VIHD Limit 1.5 %

4. Edit Harmonic Study Case Editor:

Plot the following buses: Bus1, Bus2, Sub 3, Main Bus

Plot the following cables: Cable14

Plot the following transformers: T2, T4

Plot the following loads: HF1

5. Run Harmonic Load Flow on HA View (1st time):

Observe one-line display, move slider to show different harmonic currents

Observe plots for Buses - select Bus1, Plot Type: Waveform, Display: Order

Check Alert View for Bus1 showing IHD and THD limit exceeded

Check reports, select Complete and go through each page

6. Record Following Data:

Voltage THD on Bus1 – slider to the left, read from one-line (16.38 %)

5th harmonic current into Bus1 – slider on order 5 (90.6 A)

7. Run Load Flow on LF View and Record Following Data:

Create a new Presentation and call it LF-View, switch that view to LF

Bus1 3-phase kVA loading, switch to KVA from Display Options (754 kVA)

Bus1 Power Factor, check PF from Display Options for KVA (86.7 %)

8. Add and Size Harmonic Filter:

Add a Harmonic Filter to Bus1 (HF1)

Add a Low Voltage Circuit Breaker (LVCB) between HF1 and Bus1

Create a new configuration and call it HF1 ON

When Configuration is Normal, LVCB is open, when Configuration is HF1
ON, LVCB is closed and HF1 is working

9. Re-run Harmonic Load Flow on HA View (2nd time):

Switch to HF1 ON Configuration to place the HF1 online

Re-run Harmonic Load Flow on HA View

Check new THD on Bus1 (down to 3.44% from 5.87%)

Check 5th harmonic current from Bus1 into system (0.3 A vs. 10.5 A before)

10. Check Other Alerts:

Bus THD and IHD

Harmonic Filter

Transformer

Cable

11. Run Load Flow on LF View:

Check Power Factor on T4 branch (100%)

Check Alert for other problems

12. Run Harmonic Frequency Scan:

Go back to HA mode and observe Z Magnitude plot for Bus1 with
Configuration set to HF1 ON
