White Paper: Power System Harmonic Mitigation For Water And Wastewater Treatment Plants

Abstract
This paper reviews the nature and sources of harmonics for water and wastewater treatment plants. Harmonic mitigation technologies for use in water and wastewater treatment plants are introduced and then compared to show where each is most applicable.

Introduction
Power system harmonic issues have existed since the early 1900's. The earliest discovered issues were third harmonic currents produced by saturated iron in machines and transformers. Today, there are many harmonic producing loads, making it increasingly necessary to address their influence on power systems.

A better understanding of power system harmonic phenomena can be achieved with the consideration of two concepts: the nature of non-linear loads, and the interaction of harmonic currents and voltages within the power system.
