In recent years there has been widespread use of power electronics devices and nonlinear elements in rectification and switchgear applied to various areas of power system. Power systems contain levels of harmonics which can no longer be ignored by engineers, planners, energy conservationists and economists due to the presence of non-linear loads. A simulated case study of distributed system in ...
