DSATools™ Add-On Module | HARMONICS Harmonic Distortion Analysis
HARMONICS
Harmonics
Frequency Sweep Engine
Analyzes system response across harmonic orders up to 100th harmonic.
Parallel Resonance Identification
Highlights locations with potential for harmful voltage amplification.
Source/Load Modeling Options
Includes nonlinear source representations and passive load configurations.
Supports Mitigation Studies
Test filters, capacitor switching, or redesign options to address resonance.
Harmonic Analysis
The Harmonics module is an add-on module to PSAT that enhances the software to perform power quality analysis of a power system.
The Harmonics module uses various industry standard indices to analyze harmonic distortion due to particular equipment in a system:
- Toral Harmonic Distortion (THD)
- Total Power-Factor (TPF)
- Individual Harmonic Distortion (IHD)
Frequency Scan Analysis is used to observe any harmonic resonance at a bus or in the transfer impedance between two buses.
Bar charts and plots are utilized to visually compare harmonic components and impedances at various frequencies. This module complies with the IEEE 519-1992 standard.
