Dynamic harmonic evolution using the extended harmonic domain

A novel methodology is presented in this paper for conducting transient and steady-state analysis of electric networks containing nonlinearities and switching plants components. The method is termed the extended harmonic domain (EHD) method as may be seen as an extension of the harmonic domain (HD) method used in steady-state analysis. It is shown in the paper that EHD is a natural approach for conducting dynamic and steady-state studies of the evolution of harmonics in power circuits containing nonlinear components and flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices. It is also shown in the paper that EHD provides a suitable basis for extending the well-known steady-state power quality indices to the transient range. To illustrate the use of the theory, a three-phase linear circuit and a three-phase PWM-STATCOM are modeled using EHD. The results are compared against those provided by industry standard tools as PSCAD/EMTDC and Matlab.
