Due to significant increment in harmonic polluting loads in the power system, there has been enhanced attention of the power professionals towards the estimation of harmonic signals and identification of their sources in the system. Harmonic source identification is an important step for proper accountability, monitoring, and mitigation of any harmonic pollution. The active power direction (APD) method is one of the conventional approaches for harmonic source detection in the distribution system. Although it is simple and easy to implement, serious concerns were raised on its validity, as the direction of active power is dependent on the phase angle. In this paper, APD is augmented with distorting and non-distorting power to improve its accuracy and reliability for harmonic source identification. The distorting and non-distorting portions of the loads are separated, and the distorting and non-distorting powers are calculated at each node. These calculated powers, in addition to the direction of the harmonic active power, are used to formulate the logic required for deciding the severity index at each node. The validity of the method has been tested on a single-phase network, an IEEE-5 bus system, and an IEEE-14 bus system. It has been observed that the proposed method provides good results than conventional APD with the same measurement requirement.

As for the wide application of arc suppression coil to the grounding in neutral point of mine high voltage grid, grid leakage fault rules and harmonic characteristics of the neutral point grounding system through arc suppression coil are analyzed, the selective leakage protection program “zero-sequence voltage starts, fifth harmonics of grid zerosequence voltage and zero-sequence current are extracted for phase comparison” is proposed, and corresponding fifth harmonic extraction circuit and power direction discrimination circuit are designed. The experimental results show that the protective principle applies not only to the neutral point insulated power supply system, but also to the power supply system in which neutral point passes arc suppression coil, which can solve selective leakage protection problems under different neutral grounding ways, improving the reliability of selective leakage and guaranteeing the stability of the action value.

It is of great importance to identify the location of the harmonic sources for the harmonic governance in the power system. Applied with optimal measurement placement (OMP) and harmonic state estimation (HSE), this paper presents a novel process based on PMU measurements to locate the harmonic sources in the distribution network. Considering the cost and the observability, the OMP can provide a scheme of the measurement placement with the minimum number of PMU measurements. In order to simplify the HSE equation, the measured data are converted to the form of voltage by the method proposed in this paper.By solving the HSE equation, the location and magnitude of the harmonic source are evaluated. The methodology is applied to the IEEE 33-bus system, and the obtained results are properly analyzed.
