Module 2
1 INTRODUCTION
Two sources of voltage and current distortion are dealt with in this seminar: harmonics (mainly)
and interharmonics. Their sources and effects, as well as possible methods of their mitigation and
measuring are presented.
1st day
Contents Voltage & current harmonics
Power theories in electrical circuits
Passive filters of high harmonics
Aims Supplying knowledge concerning basics of distorted signals analysis, sources of
distortion, with special regard to power electronic systems, effects of distorted voltages
and currents, methods of locating distortion sources in a power system, passive methods
for harmonics mitigation
2nd day
Contents Active power filter
Interharmonics
Harmonic measurements
Standardization
Neutral line and transformer sizing in the environment of distorted current and voltages
Case studies (laboratory)
Contract
Aims Supplying knowledge concerning principles of measuring, standardization, formulating
contracts. Use of the obtained knowledge to analysis and solving problems in harmonics,
as well as to practical measurements in laboratory.

4 GENERAL NOTES
− each day there will be two coffee breaks according to the seminar program;
− at the beginning of the course the lecturer will explain course aims and at the end he will verify
their fulfilment;
− the course will be divided in theoretical and practical sections;
− at the end of the lessons, a user satisfaction survey will help the lecturer in monitoring the course
quality.
5 TEACHING METHODS
During all the sections, the lecturer will always attend, with teaching and/or activity coordination
duty.
The didactic tools which will be used by the lecturers will be:
− Blackboard
− Video-projector
− Notebook
− Microphone
The lecture room will be suitable to allow the use of all the above listed didactic tools and to enable
group work for the attendants.
Some additional electronic tools will be available also in electronic format at: http://www.leonardo-
energy.org/drupal/ .
The folder will also include a user satisfaction questionnaire and a knowledge test (which will be
both filled and submitted at the end of the course).
The following (on the basic level) shall be prerequisite for the participant:
