Smart Grid Optimization
Harmonic distortion refers to the alteration of a signal waveform caused by the presence of harmonics, which are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. This phenomenon can lead to deviations from the original waveform, impacting the performance and efficiency of power systems, particularly in systems utilizing power electronic devices and flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). Understanding harmonic distortion is crucial for optimizing system performance and ensuring compliance with power quality standards.
