A review of iterative harmonic analysis for AC-DC power systems

Detailed models of the static converter capable of representing the effect of ac and dc system distortion, as well as harmonic modulation of the firing and commutation angles, are becoming available. Using iterative techniques, such models are combined with linear harmonic penetration into ac network equivalents to provide accurate information about the system harmonic content. This paper rovides a critical review of the state of the art in iterative harmonic analysis.
