Harmonic wave. Strictly speaking, harmonic wave means that the frequency contained in the current is Fundamental wave Is an integral multiple of, which generally refers to the periodic non sinusoidal electricity Fourier series Decomposition, the electricity generated by other currents greater than the fundamental frequency. In a broad sense, since the effective component of AC power grid is a single frequency of power frequency, any component different from the power frequency can be called harmonic. At this time, the meaning of the word "harmonic" has become somewhat inconsistent with the original meaning. It is because of the generalized concept of harmonics that we have“ Fractional harmonic ”、“ Interharmonics ”、“ Subharmonics ”And so on.
Harmonic generation The main reasons are: because sine voltage is applied to nonlinear load, Fundamental current Distortion produces harmonics. main Nonlinear load yes UPS , switching power supply rectifier , frequency converter inverter Etc.
The frequency of harmonics must also be equal to Fundamental wave The integral multiple of the frequency of the fundamental wave is called Third harmonic The wave with a fundamental frequency of 5 times is called the fifth harmonic, and so on. No matter how many harmonics, they are sine wave

Grid harmonics are mainly composed of Power generation equipment (power supply end) Power transmission and distribution equipment And nonlinear load of power system.
(1) Harmonic generated at power supply end
Three phase of generator winding It is difficult to achieve absolute symmetry in production. Due to the influence of production technology core It is also difficult to achieve absolute uniformity. In addition to the stability of the generator and other reasons, some harmonics will be generated, but generally it is relatively small.
(2) Power transmission and distribution Process generated harmonics
Power transformer It is the main harmonic source in the process of power transmission and distribution. As the transformer design needs to consider Economy , with iron core Magnetization curve Nonlinear Saturation state , so that the Magnetizing current It is a corner top type waveform, thus generating odd harmonics. High saturation degree of transformer core makes operating point It deviates from the linear curve and generates large harmonic current, whose odd harmonic current proportion can reach that of the transformer Rated current More than 0.5%.
(3) power equipment Generated harmonics
1) Rectification Thyristor Equipment. Because rectifier thyristor is widely used in switching power supply, electromechanical control Charging device In many aspects, it has brought quite a lot of harmonics to the power grid. According to statistics, the harmonics caused by rectifier equipment reach nearly 40% of all harmonics, which is a major source of harmonics.
2) Frequency conversion equipment. Motor, elevator, water pump, fan, etc electromechanical equipment Frequency conversion equipment commonly used in Phase control Its harmonic components are complex. In addition to integer harmonic components, it also contains a certain number of fractional harmonic components. The power of frequency conversion equipment is generally large, and its wide application causes more and more harmonics to the power grid.
3) gas discharge Class I electric light source. Gas discharge electric light sources such as High pressure sodium lamp High pressure mercury lamp Fluorescent lamp as well as Metal halide lamp Etc., which Volt ampere characteristic Of Nonlinear Quite serious. Some electro-optic sources also have negative volt ampere characteristics, which will transmission network Bring odd harmonic components.
4) Household electrical equipment. stay Air conditioner , refrigerator, washing machine electric fan In electrical equipment containing windings Unbalanced current The change of can also change the power waveform. In addition, computers, televisions, temperature controlled cookware, dimming lamps, etc Voltage regulation Rectification function will also produce high-order odd harmonic components. These household appliances have also become a major source of harmonics.
5) Other electrical equipment. [2]

Harmonic current is the non sinusoidal characteristic current introduced by equipment or system. Harmonic current superimposed on Main power supply upper
Harmonic voltage is composed of harmonic current and Power distribution system Generated on impedance Resulting Voltage drop
Impedance is the resistance generated at a certain point in the distribution system at a specific frequency. The impedance depends on the transformer and the Electric equipment , and the Cross-sectional area And length.
Impedance coefficient
The impedance coefficient is the ratio of AF (carrier) impedance to 50Hz (fundamental) impedance.
The equipment in the power distribution system and their existing capacitance (cable, compensation capacitor And inductance (transformer, reactance coil, etc.) to form a resonance circuit. The latter can be excited by system harmonics resonance One reason for harmonics in distribution system is Transformer core The characteristics of nonlinear magnetization. In this case, the main harmonic is 3 times; It has the same length as the single-phase component in all conductors, so it cannot be eliminated at the star point.
Each connection of inductance and capacitance forms a resonance frequency Of Resonant circuit A network has several inductors and capacitors resonant frequency
Parallel resonant frequency
Network impedance reaches Maximum Frequency of. In the parallel resonant circuit, the current components I L and I C are greater than the total current I.
The impedance level of the network reaches the minimum frequency. stay Series resonance The shunt voltages U L and U C in the circuit are greater than the total voltage U.
Series resonant circuit
By inductance( reactor )A circuit connected in series with a capacitor.
Motor and transformer Magnetic energy Section, and for energy exchange Purposive Power converter Reactive power Q is required at such places. And Active power In contrast, reactive power does not do work. The unit for measuring reactive power is Var or kvar
The power supply department stipulates a minimum power factor To avoid waste of electric energy. If the power factor of a factory is less than this minimum value It pays for the reactive power. Otherwise, it should use capacitors to improve the power factor, which means that capacitors must be installed in parallel on electrical equipment.

Harmonics are sine waves, each of which has a different frequency, amplitude and phase angle.
The harmonic frequency is Fundamental wave The integral multiple of frequency, according to the analysis principle of French mathematician M. Fourier, any repeated waveform can be decomposed into sine wave components containing fundamental frequency and a series of harmonics that are fundamental multiple.
According to different harmonic frequencies, it can be divided into:
Rated frequency The harmonics, which are odd times of the fundamental frequency, are called“ Odd harmonic ”, such as 3rd, 5th and 7th harmonics
The harmonics whose rated frequency is even times of the fundamental frequency are called“ Even harmonics ”, such as 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th harmonics.
Generally speaking, odd harmonics cause more and greater harm than even harmonics.
In a balanced three-phase system, due to Symmetry relation Even harmonics have been eliminated, and only odd harmonics exist. For three-phase rectifier load harmonic current It is 6n ± 1st harmonic, such as 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, etc.
The frequency converter mainly produces 5th and 7th harmonics.
3. Score Subharmonics
The component whose frequency is a non integral multiple of the fundamental wave is called Interharmonics Sometimes, the interharmonics lower than the fundamental wave are called sub harmonics, which can be regarded as the interharmonics between DC and power frequency. Please refer to GB/T 24337--2009.

1. Harmonic suppression basic principle
The method of restraining harmonic generated by frequency converter during operation is to Harmonic compensation , that is, increase harmonics Compensation device , so that the input current becomes sine wave
2. Methods
Traditional harmonic compensation devices usually use LC tuning wave filter To suppress harmonics, which can both suppress harmonics and compensate Reactive power deficiencies Its compensation characteristics are easily affected by the power grid impedance and running state Is easy to be connected in parallel with the system resonance , resulting in Harmonic amplification It is easy to overload or even burn out the LC tuning filter.
On the other hand, LC tuned filter can only compensate harmonics of fixed frequency and the compensation effect is not ideal. However, due to the simple structure, low cost and easy setting of LC tuned filter, it is still widely used. [4]
