Abstract

In this paper we propose a new optimal power flow scheme that takes into account the harmonics generated by power electronics interfaced distributed generation (DG). The objective is to minimize the cost of generation under constraints on the total harmonic distortion (THD) of voltage. The frequency coupling matrix (FCM) is used to model the harmonic current injected by a converter. Network current and voltage are modeled for each harmonic frequency. Constraints limiting the maximum voltage THD are introduced to the three-phase optimal power flow (OPF) problem. We construct a semidefinite relaxation, which can be solved using commercially available software packages. We give numerical results for the harmonic-constrained optimal power flow for two test systems.
