Abstract :
The operation of nonlinear devices under unbalanced load conditions may cause harmonic problems in power systems. A computer-based multiphase harmonic load flow solution technique for analyzing such problems is described. The harmonic load flows are obtained from iterations between the Norton equivalent circuits of the nonlinear elements and the linear network solutions at harmonic frequencies. Harmonics generated by static VAr compensators with thyristor-controlled reactors under unbalanced load conditions are used to illustrate the method
