Abstract

In this paper, the harmonic response of an electric system under imbalance conditions is established. Symmetrical harmonic components are proposed to give a new way of interpreting resonance occurrence in three-phase power systems. A three-phase harmonic bus impedance matrix (THBIM) for a simple distribution system is derived using analytical procedures. The development of frequency scans for the THBIM elements in both phase and sequence reference frames is carried out. Simulation results show the benefits of the harmonic sequence components for characterization of the harmonic resonance conditions in unbalanced distribution systems, and for characterizing the effectiveness of the mitigating techniques. This method offers a new way to conduct harmonic analysis and diagnosis in unbalanced power systems.
