ABSTRACT
Harmonic distortion is one of the major power quality concerns. The non-
linearity of customer loads caused the occurrence of harmonic distortion that leads to
degradation of power system components. Therefore, harmonic studies have become
an important part in power system modeling, simulation and analysis. The needs for
harmonic modeling and simulation are to determine the existence of dangerous
resonant conditions and to verify that the distortion level complies with the standard
harmonic limits. This research is to model time-series harmonic analysis. An
integration of Open Distribution System Simulator (OpenDSS) with Microsoft
Visual C++ and Microsoft Excel into an application for time-series simulation
control is presented. Harmonic power flow analysis is performed by using OpenDSS
interfaced with C++ to simulate the time-series simulation. The impact of practical
harmonic loads measured from commercial, industrial and residential sectors on
different distribution network systems are investigated. Two test case studies, with
and without harmonic loads are modeled to show the usefulness of time-series
simulation. IEEE test feeder and practical power distribution system are used as the
test system for both case studies. The impact of harmonics on the test systems is
studied by using the measured harmonic data obtained from logging sites. The
simulation results were compared with the standard harmonic limits to ensure the
compliance of distortion levels. Simulation results obtained show that total harmonic
distortion has a significant effect on the losses of the system, mainly on the lines,
cables and transformer losses. The losses of the system with harmonics for both
types of the test system showed an increment compared to the system without
harmonics. Hence, this proves that when harmonics exist within the system, losses
increase. Based on the simulation results acquired using the developed application,
the system losses and the level of harmonic distortions in the electric power
distribution network are easily obtained for each interval of time-series. The
developed application saves computational time as well as providing a method that is
cost effective.

ABSTRAK
Herotan harmonik merupakan salah satu daripada masalah utama kualiti
kuasa. Ketidaklurusan beban pelanggan telah menyebabkan berlakunya herotan
harmonik yang membawa kepada kerosakan komponen sistem kuasa. Oleh itu,
kajian harmonik telah menjadi penting dalam permodelan sistem kuasa, simulasi dan
analisis. Keperluan untuk permodelan dan simulasi harmonik adalah untuk
menentukan kewujudan keadaan resonan berbahaya dan untuk mengesahkan bahawa
tahap herotan mematuhi had piawaian harmonik. Penyelidikan ini adalah untuk
memodelkan analisis siri masa harmonik. Integrasi OpenDSS dengan Microsoft
Visual C++ dan Microsoft Excel kepada satu aplikasi kawalan simulasi siri masa
telah dibentangkan. Analisis aliran kuasa harmonik telah dilakukan menggunakan
OpenDSS dengan C++ untuk simulasi siri masa. Kesan beban harmonik praktikal
yang diukur dari sektor komersil, perindustrian dan perumahan pada sistem
rangkaian pengagihan yang berbeza dikaji. Dua kes kajian, dengan beban harmonik
dan tanpa beban harmonik dimodelkan untuk menunjukkan kegunaan simulasi siri
masa. Sistem rangkaian IEEE dan sistem pengagihan kuasa praktikal digunakan
sebagai sistem ujian untuk kedua-dua kajian kes. Kesan harmonik ke atas sistem
ujian dikaji dengan menggunakan data harmonik yang diperolehi. Keputusan
simulasi dibandingkan dengan had piawaian harmonik untuk memastikan kepatuhan
tahap herotan tersebut. Keputusan simulasi yang diperolehi menunjukkan bahawa
jumlah herotan harmonik mempunyai kesan ke atas kehilangan kuasa sistem,
terutama pada talian, kabel dan pengubah. Kehilangan kuasa sistem dengan
harmonik untuk kedua-dua jenis sistem ujian menunjukkan peningkatan berbanding
dengan sistem tanpa harmonik. Maka, ini membuktikan apabila harmonik wujud di
dalam sistem, kehilangan kuasa meningkat. Berdasarkan kepada keputusan simulasi
yang diperolehi menggunakan aplikasi yang telah disiapkan, kehilangan kuasa sistem
dan tahap herotan harmonik dalam rangkaian pengagihan kuasa elektrik mudah
diperolehi untuk setiap selang siri masa. Aplikasi yang dibangunkan menjimatkan
masa pengiraan dan juga menyediakan satu kaedah yang kos efektif.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The use of electrical energy is a natural part of life in developed countries all
around the world. Electrical energy is used in every aspect of living, working and
travelling, and in any sector such as residential, commercial, and industrial.
Nowadays, the use of energy efficient equipment that consist of power electronic
devices increases rapidly in our country, as saving of electrical energy is the main
target of industrial consumer and also electric utility companies. Before, the
utilization of energy efficient equipment was not in a major scale. Now, due to
modern developments, the equipment became easily available. Their reliability has
improved, and cost becomes manageable. Therefore, the use of this equipment grew
rapidly and its utilization increased. Consequences of large usage of these equipment,
is that it gives rise to the harmonic distortions on the electrical power system and
pollutes the system. Harmonic is one of the major power quality problems. Harmonic
causes the voltage and current waveform of the system to distort, which will lead to
the degradation of all the system components. Therefore, it is very much needed to
model the power distribution system components with the consideration of harmonic
penetration.

time-series by using simulation utilizing Open Distribution System Simulator
(OpenDSS). The overall objectives are as follows:
i. To develop an integrated application of time-series simulation control using
OpenDSS with Microsoft (MS) Visual C++ and Microsoft (MS) Excel.
ii. To validate the power flow simulation results of OpenDSS using Power
System Simulator (PSS) Adept, which is used by the industry such as Tenaga
Nasional Berhad (TNB).
iii. To investigate the impact of practical harmonic loads measured from
commercial, industrial and residential sectors on different distribution
network systems.

i. OpenDSS is used to model and simulate the power system for harmonic
analysis.

measured harmonic data obtained from industrial, commercial and residential
sectors.

1.4 Problem Statement
Harmonic distortion is one of the major power quality concerns for electric
utility companies and consumers. The non-linearity of customer loads caused the
occurrence of harmonic distortion in the power system. The increasing use of
nonlinear loads being connected to the power system network had magnified the
power quality problems. Distortion of sinusoidal current and voltage waveforms due
to harmonics cause increases in system losses, possible equipment loss of life, over
currents or over voltages resulting from resonances and interference in the
communication system. This concern has drawn much attention from utilities,
manufacturers of equipment and users.
Harmonic studies have become an important part in power system modeling,
simulation and analysis. The need for harmonic modeling and simulation is to be
able to model and simulate power quality phenomena. Besides that, the existence of
dangerous resonant conditions can be determined and the distortion level can be
verified to comply with the standard harmonic limits.
Simulator tool for power system components are also important not only for
calculating power quality indices but also for understanding the propagation
characteristics of the disturbance. The selection of a simulator tool depends on the
problems to be analyzed. The simulator selection should commensurate with the
accuracy of the available data parameters within the simulator tools. Therefore, it is
important to understand the algorithms used by the tools in order to have better ideas
with respect to the impact of model complexity and accuracy on the solution results.
The problem that this research aimed to solve is the application of time-series
simulation of harmonic analysis utilization to real network practices. This application
presented an integration of OpenDSS with MS Visual C++ and MS Excel for time-
series simulation. OpenDSS definitely has the capabilities to perform power flow
analysis as well as harmonic analysis solution. However, harmonic analysis can only
provide the solution for one snapshot of time. Hence, the integration would enable
OpenDSS to conduct harmonic analysis over a period of time within the time-series.
4
OpenDSS simulator tool is chosen due to numerous reasons. OpenDSS is
being chosen over PSCAD solely because OpenDSS analysis mode is solved in the
frequency domain which makes it the best tool to perform harmonic analysis.
OpenDSS computational time is faster compared to Matlab Simulink. Besides that,
OpenDSS has the time-series simulation ability and easy data exchange interface
(COM DLL) in which SKM-Power Tools does not have.
OpenDSS requires to be compared with standard software that has been used
by the industry. Measurements of practical harmonic loads are needed to resolve the
analytical results of harmonic studies and to determine compliance with guidelines.
Time-series simulation of harmonic analysis is performed to observe and analyze the
periodic trend of the time-series whether there is any existence of odd behavior
conditions. The sum of harmonic losses from all transformers and cables within the
distribution system is computed for each time step within the time-series. The THD
of currents and voltages obtained are analyzed throughout the time-series for any
irregularities or standard harmonic limits violation. If this approach is applicable to
the real world practice, any sign of abnormalities within the interval of time-series
can be detected and analyzed.
1.5 Significance of Study
The rise of harmonics level in our country’s electrical power system has
drawn many concerns from utilities, industrial, commercial and residential
consumers and other users. The contribution of this research is the developed
integrated application of OpenDSS. The system losses and the level of harmonic
distortions in electrical power distribution network are easily obtained for each
interval of time-series using the developed application. The developed application
also saves computational time as well as providing a method that is cost effective.
5
Therefore, the outcome of this research is important in improving power
quality with effective cost. Power system components which are affected by
harmonics will have longer life and the cost of maintenance is reduced. Consumers
will also obtain benefits from the application approach taken in this research since
utility companies are able to provide better power quality. System design engineers
can use the application approach in planning of electrical system and control
engineers will be able to use the method in controlling harmonic voltage. Last but not
least, this work would be able to contribute to the national development of our very
own country.
