An analysis of the harmonic pollution produced by different load scenarios in an office is presented in this paper. An experiment was carried out, in which typical load scenarios in office environments were reproduced. The devices used in the experiment were selected based on the characterization of the consumption groups in office environments in several countries. The analysis shows that THDi and TDD were different for each load scenarios, so the scenario of highest consumption was not the most polluted. Moreover, it was concluded that scenarios, which include plug-load devices, has the highest harmonic pollution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
