“…Up to now, various methods have been proposed, to determine the amount of the penalty. Some of these methods are based on the estimation of the cost of harmonic damages to penalize harmonic sources [1,14,[18][19][20]. Another set of methods seeks pricing through the determination of the HCC [8,21], which have better computability and are more reasonable for the HSs compared to the first group methods.…”

“…Previous models for harmonic penalty calculations presented in literature, have directly used the current measured at the PCC of customer to determine the penalty [18, 19]. However, for example when a linear load is fed from the polluted bus, the current measured at PCC of that load also contains harmonic currents which in turn, causes an important error in calculating the penalty of that load.…”

“…In the liberalized power network, the network operator spends the resources obtained from penalties on the HSs to purchase and install a suitable compensator or to pay to buy and install various Active Power Filter (APF) resources participating in the harmonic mitigation [1,16,17]. By applying these methods, the network managers would be able to improve the voltage quality and minimize the resulting damages [2,8,9,18]. On the other hand, when a network operator imposes a penalty on the harmonic sources, the subscriber compares the penalties with the cost of filter installation to decide among three options including installation of a compensator, paying the penalty, or a combination of them.…”

Improving network power quality through harmonic reduction requires recognition of Harmonic Sources (HSs) to drive them to compensate their harmonics. This paper proposes a new method for equitable distribution of the Harmonic Compensation Cost of the network among the HSs based on the Harmonic Contribution Matrix. Each element of the Harmonic Contribution Matrix is the harmonic contribution of a specific source to the harmonic voltage of a specific bus. The output of the proposed method is a penalty curve for each HS over time. The amount of the fine estimated for each individual HS per hour is a function of not only the contribution of that HS to the harmonic voltage of different buses, but also the contribution of the Harmonic Compensation Cost from the perspective of each bus, nominal voltage of each bus, and the sensitivity of each bus to the harmonic voltage. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on the IEEE 14-bus network and Esfahan regional electrical power network in Iran. The simulation results demonstrate the capability of the proposed method to allocate the hourly penalty curve to the HSs.

“…Power utilities need to investigate a penalty fee that needs to be charged for harmonic distortion. This fee is to be part of the monthly electricity bill as an added investment to reduce the financial losses met due to the effects of harmonic distortion [1,[24][25][26].…”

A Proposed Harmonic Monitoring System for Large Power Users Considering Harmonic Limits

Most power utilities within Southern Africa are faced with the challenges of harmonic distortion due to the high penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) and the use of electronic devices. There is an excessive total harmonic distortion (THD) measured at the point of common coupling (PCC). In this paper, a proposed harmonic monitoring system for large power users (LPUs) is developed. This proposed system considers harmonic limits of the individual and THD of the customers allowed injecting into the network, which should be part of the contractual electricity supply agreement (ESA). Hence, it will enable the monitoring of harmonic distortion to be smooth by determining whether the customer has passed or failed compliance for individual harmonic order and the THD of the voltage. The measurements of harmonic distortion are done using the Unipower power quality (PQ) analyzers that are connected at different points within the industrial network. Measurements of harmonic distortion of an industrial site are compared to the simulation results performed by DIgSILENT software to validate the proposed harmonic monitoring system. Based on the validation results, it is recommended that the ESA between the power utilities and the customers should consist of the harmonic limits.

“…Several publications investigate the effects of harmonics on the losses and/or life expectancy of the motors, transformers, and cables, for instance. Some examples can be founded in [174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182]. In [183], the authors investigate some of known lossreduction methods in the feeder.…”

Luiz Carlos Pereira da Silva, for all the guidance and support over the last years.Additionally, I would like to thank my colleagues from Brazil and Denmark, who were always available to make technical discussions, advise me and collaborate during my Ph.D. In particular, I would like to thank few people: Pedro Pablo Vergara Barrios, for all his support and patience at the beginning of my journey, as well as Seyyedeh Newsha Ghoreishi, who welcomed me and my family into her sweet home -I have no words for show how grateful I am for you. Also, still in Denmark, a special thanks to Athila Quaresma dos Santos, a Brazilian friend who I met so far from our country. Finally, I would like to thank Rodolfo Quadros for all the partnerships during the writing process of all the papers. I would like to acknowledge the three universities for all their support in developing this Ph.D. project: Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT), where I work; University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and University of Southern Denmark (SDU), these last ones I am so glad for allow me to participate in a dual degree program. Thanks to Karina Schwartz, Luna Larsen, Louise Møller and to all SDU staff team. Thanks also to all scientists and engineers who have contributed to the development of the state-of-the-art as we know it today.Last, but none less important, I thank my family in Brazil, my dad José Carlos, my mom Sandra Perillo, my brothers Rafael and Renan and his respective families, my wife Vivian Petenucci and her family, and my sweet and lovely daughter, Mariana Bressan. I hope you all feel proud of me. Thank you for all."Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."Unknown author.
