Influencing Factor and Error Analysis of Operating Capacitor Voltage Transformer Harmonic Measurement

Abstract

With the increasing demands of power quality monitoring and management, the problem of harmonic measurement error caused by the widespread operation of capacitor voltage transformers (CVT) in high-voltage power grids has been unavoidable. This paper analyses the influence of environmental factors on harmonic measurement error of CVT, and proposes a new method for analysing the harmonic measurement errors of operating CVT, which explains the unstable phenomenon of CVT measurement errors based on field comparison test, and provides a progressing screening method of effective analysis data. the CVT harmonic error characteristic analysis method proposed in this paper considers the impact of field installation conditions, electromagnetic environment, and other actual operating environment, which can reflect the actual harmonic error characteristics of CVT in field operation. A CVT harmonic measurement system is established based on the proposed method. The validation and effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated on a field measurements of 1000kV CVT in Shandong Province.
