Abstract
Nodes in electric distribution networks are greatly differentiated and are very often nonlinear and/or unbalanced. They can create significant harmonic pollution, with harmonics that inevitably spread along the grid. Monitoring harmonic propagation and correlated power quality phenomena requires specific measurement devices and methodologies. Nevertheless, because of the unavailability of a rapid diffusion of synchronized and dedicated devices (due to technical and economic reasons) on every node and branch of the network, estimating the harmonic status of the entire grid by means of a complete or even redundant monitoring system can be practically unfeasible. A more feasible, though always meaningful, goal can thus be pursued, that is estimating the main harmonic sources in the network, rather than its complete harmonic status. This approach, of course, can be based on a simpler and cheaper upgrade of the distributed monitoring system. Even more, by considering the common scenario where the number of significant harmonic sources is lower than the number of loads connected to the grid, specific estimation procedures can be defined to further reduce the complexity of the monitoring system. In this scenario, this paper presents an efficient compressive sensing harmonics detector (CSHD) for the identification and the estimation of the principal pollution sources. The proposed CSHD method is validated by means of appropriate tests performed on an example of distribution grid.File | Size | Format | |
