System Harmonics and Studies
The seminar will focus on potential system-level harmonic impacts of IBRs with particular emphasis on how harmonics are produced and how they propagate through the bulk system. Modeling and analysis techniques and assumptions which are commonly used to conduct studies will be discussed and the impact of planning-level contingencies will be considered. Particular attention will be given to harmonic resonance conditions, often involving switched capacitor banks, and how they can have a significant effect on the levels and impacts of harmonics in the system. Harmonic management, mitigation, and potential interconnection requirements will also be discussed.
