          The Task Force collects, documents and disseminates information related to the modeling and simulation aspect of power system harmonics.

          Major accomplishments achieved by the Task Force in the past few years (in chronic order) are:

        1.     Publication of two summary papers: “Modeling and Simulation of the Propagation of Harmonics in Electric Power Networks:               

             Parts I and II,” IEEE Trans. on Power Delivery, January 1996.

        2.    Development and publication of four harmonics test systems: “Test Systems for Harmonics Modeling and Simulation,” IEEE Trans.          

             on Power Delivery, April 1997.

        3.    Organization of tutorials on the subject of Harmonics Modeling and Simulation at the 1998 PES Winter and Summer Meeting, and the 

             1999 T&D Conference.

        4.     Organization of a panel session: “Practical experience with harmonics modeling and simulation,” in 2000 IEEE PES Summer Meeting.

        5.     Publication of three summary papers on harmonic source modeling:

        “Characteristics and Modeling of Harmonic Sources – Power Electronic Devices,” IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, October 2001.

        “Impact of Aggregate Linear Load Modeling on Harmonic Analysis: A Comparison of Common Practice and Analytical Models,” IEEE

         Transactions on Power Delivery, April 2003.

        “Modeling of Devices with Nonlinear Voltage-Current Characteristics for Harmonic Studies,” to appear in IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery.

         6.    Organization of a panel session: “Methodologies for Harmonics Modeling and Simulation,” in 2003 IEEE PES General Meeting.

            The Task Force is currently working on the following tasks:

            ·         Preparation of a paper on the subject of inter-harmonics theory.

            ·         Preparation of a paper on the subject of harmonics interact with protective equipment with time-domain simulation.

            ·         Preparation of a paper on the subject of analysis of systems with distributed harmonic sources.

            ·         Organization of a panel session on the subject of new approaches for harmonics modeling and simulation for 2004 IEEE PES General Meeting.

            We welcome your comments, suggestions, and participation of the TF business.
