Harmonic Analysis of Power Systems in Turkey | Carelabs

Harmonics are a crucial aspect of a power system because they influence both the quality of the electricity and the performance of the equipment. High harmonic levels may cause components to overheat and shorten the device’s lifespan. Harmonics distort pure sinusoidal waveforms generated by an ideal power source. Harmonic distortion hinders a company’s production and operation capabilities. The following are some economic effects of harmonic distortion.

When nonlinear loads draw current in irregular, fleeting surges, harmonics are produced. Due to the interference caused by these vibrations, harmonic currents can readily travel throughout the entire power system . Harmonics reduce the efficiency and purity of electricity in industrial contexts. The majority of commercial electrical systems can safely support up to 15% nonlinear loads. If the nonlinear loading percentage exceeds 15%, negative harmonic distortions may occur. Therefore, it is essential to monitor harmonic levels to ensure that they remain within the permitted parameters. Thus, harmonic research and analysis help maintain knowledge of potential hazards and their underlying causes, making it easier to prevent harmonic-related issues during the design phase and reducing the likelihood of unintended outcomes .

Despite the low probability of harmonic issues, a periodic harmonic analysis must be performed to ensure that the harmonic levels are acceptable. These are the progressions of harmonic levels:
