Abstract

The implementation of an interactive approach to the display and manipulation of power system harmonics is described. The resulting microcomputer program, which was developed primarily for educational use within the electrical engineering curriculum, allows both synthesis of waves from harmonic (sinusoidal) components and analysis of specified periodic waveforms in terms of their harmonic content. Data may be interactively modified, and cases may be stored for later retrieval. Some of the means employed for making such a program user-friendly and student-oriented, as well as several examples of program use, are cited
