Abstract
With the rapid development of renewable energy resources, harmonics in modern distribution systems have become more serious owing to the wide adoption of power electronic devices. Today, distribution-level phasor measurement units (D-PMUs), which can provide synchronized harmonic data with high-time resolution, are being rapidly developed. To utilize the D-PMUs, a hierarchical harmonic contribution (HC) determination method is proposed in this paper for systems with multiple harmonic sources. The HCs were determined using a widely linear complex partial least squares (WL-CPLS) method, which is both accurate and efficient. In an actual power system, the D-PMUs are not fully installed at all buses and the harmonics monitored by each D-PMU are actually the aggregate effects of multiple harmonic sources in the subarea. Based on the above consideration, a hierarchical HC strategy is proposed to locate the main harmonic contributors, layer by layer. The proposed method can be applied to a radial distribution system with any number of D-PMU placements. The methodologies are explained and verified using the IEEE 37-bus system. The real case study results based on the demonstration project are also analyzed in this paper.
