A workshop on power system harmonics was organized in Stockholm in January 2014. On the agenda was among others a discussion on what are the main issues on harmonics at the moment and in the near future. Some of the issues discussed at that workshop are presented in this paper and its companion paper. In this paper the following issues will be addressed: the appearance of emission at higher frequencies (supraharmonics); the need for new and improved standards; measurement issues and data analysis.Index Terms-electric power systems, power quality, harmonics, wind power, solar power, suprharmonics, EMC standards.I.

a b s t r a c tThis paper presents harmonic measurements from three individual wind turbines (2 and 2.5 MW size). Both harmonics and interharmonics have been evaluated, especially with reference to variations in the active-power production. The overall spectra reveal that emission components may occur at any frequency and not only at odd harmonics. Interharmonics and even harmonics emitted from wind turbines are relatively high. Individual frequency components depend on the power production in different ways: characteristic harmonics are independent of power; interharmonics show a strong correlation with power; other harmonic and interharmonic components present various patterns. It is concluded that the power production is not the only factor determining the current emission of a wind energy conversion system.

A workshop on power system harmonics was organized in Stockholm in January 2014. On the agenda was among others a discussion on what are the main issues on harmonics at the moment and in the near future. The results of this discussion are summarized in this paper and some of the issues are discussed in more detail in this paper and in its companion paper. This paper discusses emission from wind and solar power as well as advantages and disadvantages of active and passive filters.Index Terms-electric power systems, power quality, harmonics, wind power, solar power, supraharmonics, EMC standards.I.
