Characterization of Medium Voltage Cables for Power Line Communication

摘要

In this paper a new approach is proposed, for the detection of harmonic sources in polluted power systems. It is a single-point strategy, based on a comparison among different "nonactive" power quantities proposed in literature, that, in the same working conditions, assume different values at the metering section. Some simulations tests were carried out on a standard IEEE test system, proposed, by other authors, as a benchmark system for the analysis of multi-point measurement techniques for harmonic pollution monitoring. The obtained results show that the proposed single point approach is in agreement with other strategies already proposed in literature and can give useful indications for the detection of the dominant harmonic source in a metering section also in some critical cases.
