Technical and economic considerations of harmonic studies with renewable sources

Abstract

Electric power generation is demonstrating diversified operational characteristics with electric power systems by aggregating different types of power generation sources, facilitating the integration and reliability of virtual energy for such loads, distribution networks and microgrids, defined as an entity in the energy market through the agent that interacts with the centralized network. When defining the scaling and aggregation parameters of several types of energy generation, we highlight the contribution of the generation of harmonic components in wind and solar sources, among the technical and economic aspects de fined in the analysis of the quality of the electric energy to be included in the demand for electricity generation.
