Iran's electrical grid is connected to the Eastern Turkey grid via Khoy-Basqale 400KV transmission line. Harmonic mesurements indicate high level of the 5th harmonic voltage in Azarbayjan grid which is magnified in Van substation. According to Iran international obligations and economic losses caused by the high level of harmonics in Azerbaijan regional electricity grid, a comprehensive study is required. Early studies showed that this unprecedented increase in the 5th harmonic voltage is due to the small harmonic loads scattered throughout the network. The aim of this thesis is to perform a comprehensive harmonic analysis of Azerbaijan network due to scattered harmonic loads. In this... 

Transformers are vital components of power networks, responsible for converting electricity from one voltage level to another. They are designed to operate under sinusoidal conditions, but the increasing use of non-linear loads and power electronic devices has caused a spike in harmonic pollution in power networks. These harmonics result in increased losses in transformers, leading to a reduction in capacity, accelerated aging, and a shortened life. The associated costs incurred by these issues include reduced energy sales for electricity companies and premature replacement costs. In this thesis, it is assumed that the transformer is affected by harmonics and ambient temperature, and other... 

This thesis studies undamped oscillations generated by marginally stable fractional order linear time invariant (LTI) systems. In this study, the concept of integral curve is developed for fractional order LTI systems. The proposed concept is obtained based on equivalent integer order linear time varying (LTV) systems. Then, an analytical approach is proposed to be used for harmonic analysis of such oscillations in marginally stable commensurate order LTI systems. Also, it is shown that the Q-semi norm of the limit sets for a trajectory of these systems can be analytically determined based on the Q-semi norm of the initial condition, where Q is a specific matrix. Moreover, this result is... 

Due to increase in nonlinear loads in today’s applications, the percent of harmonic content has been increased. Transformers are one of the electrical system components that are subjected to these harmonics. The failure of such equipment is an important consideration. Such failure is because of the hotspot temperature rises over the normal temperature withstanding of internal insulation. The increments of hotspot temperature can decrease the transformer insulation life. Totally, because of the presence of many parameters, precise investigation of loss of life is very difficult. Hence, the only meaning of loss of life in this project is the loss of insulation life under heat stresses.... 

One of the challenges that always exists in the field of Testing the performance of converters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) , etc. is to provide various types of loads to be applied to these equipments and test the quality of their performance in various load conditions. Leading or Lagging Power Factor loads, harmonic loads and non-linear loads are mainly required in this investigation. The use of inductors, resistors, capacitors and other devices for these tests is an old solution. Their disadvantages include high price, large volume and very high power loss, which was the initial idea of making programmable loads. A current source converter with the ability to Sink and source the...
