1 Tutorial on Harmonics Modeling & Simulation Organized by Task Force on Harmonics Modeling & Simulation Adapted and Presented by Paulo F Ribeiro AMSC May 28-29, 2008

2 Scope The purpose of this tutorial is to provide an review of subjects that have significant impacts on the areas of harmonic analysis, modeling, and simulation. The major contents of the tutorial include an overview of harmonics modeling and simulation, harmonics and interharmonics theories, modeling of linear and nonlinear loads as well as network components, the time- and frequency-domain harmonic analyses, real- time modeling and simulation, benchmark test systems, procedure of time-domain harmonics modeling and simulation, and case studies.

3 Scope In addition to including the new subjects of interharmonics theory and real-time simulations and applications, it is worth mentioning that the two chapters of step-by-step analysis procedure performed by the commonly used harmonic simulation tool and real-life study examples are offered to facilitate participants to learn the area. The tutorial offers a handy material that is convenient for the beginners as well as those who already know the subject and is expected to provide the readers with a general background knowledge and further understanding on the subject.
