| Summary: | Includes bibliography. === The research covered three main objectives: Application of PC based harmonic penetration packages and a comparison of their simulation results. Investigation and comparison of the IEEE, IEC and ESKOM power system harmonic standards. Measurement of harmonics in two industrial networks and the application of the results to the regulatory limits provided by the standards. The research makes use of two packages and uses parameters from an industrial network. Case studies were conducted using the same parameters so that the results obtained from each package could be compared. The standards have been individually investigated to determine each method for controlling harmonic distortion. The three standards have also been compared. Harmonic field measurements were conducted in industrial networks so that the limits imposed by the standards could be compared with real life operating conditions. |
