Preface

This book seeks to provide a comprehensive reference on harmonic current generation, propagation, and control in electrical power networks, including the broadly cited smart grid. Harmonic waveform distortion is one of the most important issues that the electric industry faces today due to the substantial volume of electric power that is converted from alternating current (AC) to other forms of electricity required in multiple applications. It is also a topic of much discussion in technical working groups that issue recommendations and standards for waveform distortion limits. Equipment manufacturers and electric utilities strive to find the right conditions to design and operate power apparatuses that can reliably operate in harmonic ...
