Abstract |
The GHP(Gas Heat Pump) is an efficient cooling/heating system in which a compressor is driven by a gas engine and is brodening its application to the facilities such as schools and office buildings. It is difficult to control the GHP system because of slow response, big time constant and timevariant system. These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of the power system. Harmonic field measurements have shown that the harmonic contents of a waveform varies with time. A cumulative probability approach is the most commonly used method to solve time varying harmonics. This paper provides an in depth analysis on harmonics field measurement of the GHP loads, harmonic assessment by IEC 61000-3-2, and harmonic simulation and harmonic filter application using EDSA program for the case study system. |
