Abstract

Rising demand of electric power coupled with rising use of non-linear loads such as laptops, arc furnace etc., along with rise of renewables energy sources such as solar, wind etc., has revolutionized the human civilization but badly affected the power quality of power system. Harmonics injected by non-linear loads and renewable energy sources have led to issues such as rise in losses, overheating of rotor windings of induction motor, malfunctioning of relays etc. These factors disturb harmonics of electrical waves by making them non- sinusoidal. Harmonic analysis and taking steps to remedy the same therefore has become essential. In this study, the simulated 250.5 MW Solar PV Plant which is in addition to the existing 1980 MW thermal plant of a large generating station have been analyzedso that the distortion in voltage waveforms and current waveforms due to nonlinear loads, that is, renewable energy sources etc., may be analyzed. Distortions in voltage waveform at various buses of LPGCL buses have been analyzed in this study using ETAP software.
