Abstract

Increase in the number of nonlinear loads and devices in energy and power systems have raised harmonic distortion on voltage and current signals. Harmonics are one of the primary factors in determining power quality. Therefore, measurement and control of harmonics are crucial. Many methods have developed for harmonic analysis. In this study, a simulator which uses Hartley transform for determining harmonics is designed. Harmonic distributions and parameters of loaded/defined signals can be calculated accurately and effectively and obtained results can be displayed numerically and graphically with developed systems which have user friendly interface.
