Transformer harmonic modeling plays a crucial role in the analysis and design of power distribution systems, particularly in addressing issues related to harmonics. Harmonics are unwanted sinusoidal voltage or current components that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency in an electrical system (usually 50 or 60 Hz). These harmonics can arise from non-linear loads such as computers, variable speed drives, and other electronic equipment.
The role of transformer harmonic modeling involves the following key aspects:
Understanding Harmonic Distortion: Transformer harmonic modeling helps in understanding the impact of harmonic currents and voltages on the transformer and the overall power distribution system. Harmonics can lead to increased losses, reduced efficiency, and
