Aim(s) of Course : This course discusses the effect of harmonics on electrical machines is a dynamic and evolving field (harmonic effects can be experienced at a distance from their source). The course derives and compiles ample data of practical interest, with the emphasis on harmonic power flow and harmonic filters. Generation, effects, limits, and mitigation of harmonics are discussed, including active and passive filters and new harmonic mitigating topologies.

Course Contents : Definitions, nonlinear loads and system behavior, mathematical methods, harmonic producing networks (switched mode power converters, power electronic circuits in motor control, renewable energy production, arc-furnace, etc), distribution of harmonics in electrical machines, parallel and series resonance, adverse effects of harmonics in electrical machines, filtering of harmonics, passive and active filters

Language of Instruction : English

Work Place : Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, First Floor
