    HI_WAVE 1-2 Reference Manual

    1.1. Introduction

    Distortion of the sinusoidal wave form is not a new problem. It was first noted in the1920s with the development of rectifiers. In the 1960s dc transmission systems added

    harmonics to the power system on a new scale. In modern power systems, theintroduction of solid state devices for power supplies, variable speed motor controlsystems, and all types of electronic equipment have increased the distortion of thesinusoidal wave to the point where they threaten the safe operation of the power system.

    Using HI_WAVE, you can determine which portions of your electrical system are causingthese harmonic disturbances and where you should install filters to reduce thedisturbances, thereby smoothing out your systems sinusoidal wave form. The moreaccurately you model the harmonic sources, of course, the more reliable the results will be.HI_WAVE conforms to the IEEE 519 Standard (IEEE Std 519), which specifiesacceptable levels of voltage distortion.

    HI_WAVE 1-4 Reference Manual

    1.2. Prepare Static System Data

    Before you open the HI_WAVE Study Manager, you must be sure that the electricalsystem is complete. By complete, we mean that all the necessary elements of your

    electrical system are in place and that the appropriate Studies have been run. Take thefollowing steps to ensure the system is complete:

    Assign a harmonic source model to at least one induction motor, synchronousmotor, or non-motor load component (theres no point in running a harmonicstudy if theres nothing in the system to generate harmonics);

    Connect all components;

    Connect at least one swing bus to every isolated portion of the electrical system.In PTW, a swing bus is one of two things: 1) a utility component; 2) a generatorcomponent whose Schedule type (found on the first subview of the ComponentEditor) is set to Volts & Angle (SB).

    Enter sizes in the Component Editor for all the cables, transformers, motors, and

    non-motor loads.

    If the electrical system is not complete, HI_WAVE will report an error and will not run.

    1.2.1. Choose Harmonic Source Library ModelsBecause HI_WAVE analyzes the dynamic portion of the electrical system, we need tosupply HI_WAVE with additional information about the harmonic characteristics of theinduction motor, synchronous motor, and non-motor load components. These models arecrucial because they tell HI_WAVE what kind of harmonics that component contributes tothe system. (If you didnt apply any harmonic source models to any components, thedistortion waveform that HI_WAVE generates would be a perfectly smooth sine wave.)To apply these models, we use the Harmonic Source subview of the Component Editor:

    Fig. 1-1. The Harmonic Source subview of the Component Editor (this subviewexists for induction motors, synchronous moto rs, and non-motor loads).

    When you click the Library button, the Select a Device dialog box appears, which opensthe HI_WAVE Library in read-only form and allows us to peer into it and retrieve data

    Click here tochoose aHarmonic Sourcemodel from theHI_WAVELibrary.

    HI_WAVE Study HI_WAVE 1-5

    from it without accidentally editing the data. (To edit the Library, you must open it, asdiscussed in Chapter 2.)

    To open the Select a Device dialog box

    1. Click the Library button.

    The Select a Device dialog box appears. Now highlight the Harmonic Source categoryand the devices will appear. To apply a harmonic source model, select it and click theApply button or double-click the model itself.

    Click the Close button to close the Selecta Device dialog box.

    Click the Deselect button to remove a modelyou have applied to a component.

    Click the Apply button or double-clickon the name to apply the harmonicsource model to the component.

    Note: A single Library harmonic source model may be applied to as manycomponents as you want, because Library models merely provide a per-unittemplate of harmonic characteristics. The per-unit values are converted to realvalues based on the size of the component. If you want to edit a Library model, youhave to open the Library by clicking the Document>Library command. SeeChapter 2, Using HI_WAVEs Library, for more information about editing theLibrary.

    For those induction motors, synchronous motors, and non-motor loads that dont haveharmonic source models applied to them, HI_WAVE lumps these loads together by theirtotal kVA and power factor and calculates their equivalent R+jX and modifies X linearlyas the frequency increases.

    How HI_WAVE Calculates Load Impedance Data

    The synchronous motors have their positive-, negative-, and zero-sequence impedancedata calculated based on the data in the ANSI Contribution subview (or the IECContribution subview if the Application options are set to IEC) of the Component Editor.

    The induction motors and non-motor loads, which dont have sequence impedance data inthe Component Editor, have their positive- and negative-sequence impedance datacalculated by

    Z (order n) = R + ( jX n )

    where

    n is a non-triplet order1, 2, 4, 5, 7, etc.

    R is resistance, which never changes.

  • 8/14/2019 Reference HI Wave

    10/96

    HI_WAVE 1-6 Reference Manual

    The induction motors and non-motor loads have their zero-sequence impedance set equalto the negative-sequence impedance data (that is, Z0 = Z1) at each order if you turn on theIncluding Triplet Harmonics Path options described on page 1-24:

    Z (order n) = R+j (X n)

    where

    n=3, 6, 9, etc.

    If these options arent turned on, induction motors and non-motor loads have their zero-sequence impedance set to infinite (Z0 = Infinite).

    For those non-motor loads and induction motors which dont have harmonic sourcemodels applied to them, HI_WAVE determines their zero-sequence impedance data basedon the Including Triplet Harmonics Pathcheckboxes, which are Study Setup options(see Setup Options on page 1-23 for a list of the Study Setup options). If these optionsare checked, HI_WAVE sets the zero-sequence impedance equal to the positive-sequenceimpedance, whereas if these options are unchecked, HI_WAVE sets the zero-sequenceimpedance to infinite. Typically its best to leave these options unchecked.

    1.2.2. Enter Utility Impedance Data

    Note: Typically you wont need to change the data on this subview because PTWcalculates the values for you. You should only enter your own values if you haveaccess to data that is more precise than PTWs estimates.

    Just as the loads in a system contribute to harmonics, so do the utility sources that providethe power. Utilities have their positive- and negative-sequence impedance data calculatedby

    Z (order n) = R + ( jX n )

    where

    R is the positive-sequence resistance entered on the first subview of the Component Editor

    and

    X is the positive-sequence reactance entered on the first subview of the Component Editor

    andn is a non-triplet harmonic order 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, etc.

    Utilities have their zero-sequence impedance data calculated by

    Z (order n) = R + ( jX n )

    and

    X is thezero-sequencereactance entered on the first subview of the Component Editor

    and

    n is a triplet harmonic order 3, 6, 9, etc.

    For example, the first-order factor is 1 0.1999 = 0.1999, the second-order factor is 2

    0.1999 = 0.3998, and the third-order factor is 3 0.3006 = 0.9018 . You can see thesecalculated results on the Harmonic Impedance subview, as shown in Fig. 1-2.

    To enter your own data, select the User-Defined option (when set to Linear fromBase, PTW generates its estimates):

    Fig. 1-2. The Harmonic Impedance subview for Util ities.

    Select the User-Defined optionto enter your own data instead

    of using PTW's estimates.

    1.2.3. Enter Transmission Line Impedance Data

    You can model the transmission line impedance using one of two methods:

    1. By entering positive- and zero-sequence resistance and reactance values;

    2. By using a Transmission Line Library model.

    HI_WAVE Study HI_WAVE 1-9

    where

    G and B come from the first subview of the Component Editor.

    Of the two methods, the Library model provides more accurate modeling, particularly ifthe transmission line spans more than 50 miles. This is because HI_WAVE can calculateimpedance data non-linearly if you use the Library model, whereas if you dont use the

    Library model HI_WAVE must calculate the impedance data by multiplying the samesequence values by each harmonic order, resulting in a linear model.

    1.2.4. Enter Pi Equivalent Impedance DataHI_WAVE calculates these exactly the same as the transmission lines without a modelapplied. See Enter Transmission Line Impedance Data on page 1-7.

    1.2.5. Enter Cable Impedance DataHI_WAVE calculates the impedance data for cables using the data on the first subview ofthe Component Editor (if you are using a Cable Library Model, this data comes from the

    Library; otherwise, you must enter it yourself). Cables have their positive- and negative-sequence impedance data calculated by

    Z (order n) = R + ( jX n )

    where

    R is the positive-sequence resistance entered on the first subview of the Component Editor

    and

    X is the positive-sequence reactance entered on the first subview of the Component Editor

    and

    How Transformer Phase Shift Reduces Certain Harmonic Orders

    Two-winding transformer impedance includes the phase shift if you check the ModelTransformer Tap and P

    HI_WAVE calculates the two-winding transformer phase shift by

    (for positive-sequence) Phase Shift = Phase Shift (order-1)

    (for negative-sequence) Phase Shift = Phase Shift (order+1)

    where

    Phase Shift comes from t e first subview of the Component Editotransformers.

    You should understand the phase shifting that occurs between the primary and the

    secondary of the transformer, particularly for /and /connected transformers. Forase,the positive mode, the phase shift is a function of the harmonic order and the basic ph

    Note: HI_WAVE represents an ideal case regarding transformer phase shiftcancellation, whereby identical size drives shifted by 30 degrees cancel 100 percentof the 5th, 7th, 17thand 19thharmonics. In reality, less than 100 percent cancellationwill be achieved due to firing angle variations between the drives. In most cases theideal representation is adequate. However, if you need more conservativeapproximations, you can manually adjust the phase angles for the harmonic sources

    or the phase shift for the transformers.

    The first thing you may have noticed is the three distinct panes, or views, in theHI_WAVE Study Manager.

    Parts of the HI_WAVE Study Manager:

    The Study-Case View keeps track of the Cases you set up.

    The Plot-Graph Views display the waveforms for the selected components.

    1.3.1. Introduction to the HI_WAVE Study ManagerLets begin with the Study-Case View (the left pane). When you first open HI_WAVE,you will just see a single folder called Study1 underneath HI_WAVE. You maywonder, why is my Study-Case View so empty? Actually, its not completely emptyHI_WAVE has a Case ready for you, hiding under Study1. To display the Case, click thebox next to folder Study1, like this:

    Click the box next to Study1. . . to display the Case.

    Although you can run HI_WAVE using just one Case, you will find it beneficial to createlots of Cases, because, as we will demonstrate, Cases provide the real power ofHI_WAVE.

    First, though, you need to understand how HI_WAVE handles data. When you runHI_WAVE for a Case, HI_WAVE takes a snapshot of the Projects harmonics and storesthe results in the Case. The Project itself doesnt change. However, just becauseHI_WAVEdoesnt change the Project doesnt meanyou shouldnton the contrary, you

    should try to change the electrical system frequently in order to compare the system underdifferent operating conditions. If you just run HI_WAVE once, all you get is yoursystems harmonics for the present moment in time, but by modifying the electrical systemand re-running HI_WAVE for a different Case, you can analyze your system underdifferent operating conditions.

    To let you organize these different what-if scenarios, HI_WAVE uses containers calledCases. Think of a Case as a snapshot of the systems harmonics. At the moment you tellHI_WAVE (by clicking the Run button) to take the snapshot, HI_WAVE looks at the

    SKM Power*Tools for Windows

    22/96

    HI_WAVE 1-18 Reference Manual

    electrical system and calculates the harmonics for the components you have put in the

    Case. Now, Cases are not linked to one anothereach Case represents a distinctsnapshot; however, if you never flip back to the Component Editor or the One-LineDiagram and change the system, every snapshot will be identical, because the electricalsystem has never changed. The key to using Cases effectively is to run HI_WAVE for oneCase, then flip back to the Component Editor or One-Line Diagram and make a change,

    then return to HI_WAVE and run another Case. (With regard to Studies, they merelyprovide a way for you to organize the Cases; Studies have nothing to do with the harmonicsnapshots. Within a Study you may have multiple Cases, or you may create a new Studyfor every Case. Whether you place all your Cases in one Study or every Case in a separateStudy doesnt affect the Cases at all.)

    For example, lets say your factory takes most of its loads off-line at night, and you wantto compare the daytime harmonics to the nighttime harmonics. To analyze this inHI_WAVE, you would first create a Case named Daytime, and run HI_WAVE for thatCase with all the loads in service to represent the daytime operating condition. Next, youwould flip to the Component Editor and take the loads out of service to represent thenighttime operating condition, then return to HI_WAVE and create a Case calledNighttime, and re-run the Harmonic Simulation for this new Case. You can nowcompare the waveforms in the Daytime Case to the waveforms in the Nighttime Case.

    You can also speculate about ways to reduce the systems harmonics. Lets say youreconsidering installing a harmonics filter in your system, but youre not sure whether toplace it downstairs next to the motor, or outside by the warehouse. First switch to theOne-Line Diagram and add the filter in one location, then return to HI_WAVE and run theHarmonic Simulation for a Case named Downstairs Location. Next, switch back to theOne-Line Diagram and move the filter to the second location, then return to HI_WAVEand re-run the simulation for a different Case, one named Warehouse Location. Youcan now compare the waveforms in the Downstairs Location Case to the waveforms inthe Warehouse Location Case.

    1.4. Run Harmonic Simulation to Produce Data

    The final step is to run the Harmonic Simulation to produce waveforms and reports. Thisprocess takes place internally; that is, it takes place behind the scenes.

    When you run the Harmonic Simulation, HI_WAVE actually performs three Studies:

    Load Flow study (similar to DAPPERs Load Flow) to prepare the data;

    Frequency Scan study;

    Harmonic Distortion study.

    You can select to skip any of these three studies, but generally you should run all three togive yourself all the available data.

    Fundamental Frequency

    The frequency is determined by the Engineering Standard chosen in the ApplicationOptions. If the Engineering Standard is ANSI, then the Fundamental Frequency = 60 Hz.Conversely, if the Engineering Standard is IEC, then the Fundamental Frequency = 50 Hz.

    The frequency at each order is determined by Order Fundamental Frequency, so at thefirst order the frequency is (in ANSI) 60 Hz, at the second order the frequency is 120 Hz,and so on.

  • 8/14/2019 Reference HI Wave

    28/96

    HI_WAVE 1-24 Reference Manual

    Max Harmonic Order

    This is the maximum harmonic order that HI_WAVE will calculate for the harmonicmagnitude and the angle spectrum. Keep in mind that HI_WAVE will only calculate tothe highest order that the harmonic source models have been modeled to, unlessHI_WAVE reaches the Max Harmonic Order first. In other words, if you have theMax Harmonic Order set to 64, but the harmonic source models that you are using have

    only been modeled to 25 orders, HI_WAVE will only plot through the 25th order.Similarly, if the harmonic source models that you are using have been modeled to 50orders, but you have set the Max Harmonic Order to 30, HI_WAVE will only plotthrough the 30th order.

    Model Transformer Tap and Phase Shift

    When unchecked, all transformers appear without the effect on any taps, and the pre-faultvoltage is relative to the swing bus voltage and the transformer phase shift angle remainsat 0. When checked, HI_WAVE calculates the system pre-fault no-load voltage profilebased on the swing bus voltage and transformer tap settings. You must check this box toanalyze transformer off-nominal voltages properly.

    Including Triplet Harmonics Path

    Note: These options only affect the non-motor loads and induction motors whichdonthave harmonic source models applied to them, because HI_WAVE needssome method to determine their zero-sequence impedance data. Since synchronousmotors already have zero-sequence impedance data in the Component Editor,HI_WAVE needs no special consideration for them.

    Chances are you wont apply harmonic source models to every induction motor and non-motor load in the system. For those that dont have harmonic source models applied tothem you can select whether you want to include the zero-sequence impedance data(which is modeled in the third-order harmonics, or as HI_WAVE calls them, in theGround Mode) in the Harmonic Simulation. If these options are checked, HI_WAVEsets the zero-sequence impedance equal to the positive-sequence impedance (for

    information on how the negative-sequence impedance is calculated, see How HI_WAVECalculates Load Impedance Data on page 1-5).

    Typically its best to leave these options unchecked, in which case HI_WAVE sets thezero-sequence impedance to infinite. Also, if you uncheck the Model Ground Modeoptions, these checkboxes are irrelevant because HI_WAVE wont be calculating third-order harmonics (the zero-sequence ones) anyway.

    Load Specification

    This choice determines how HI_WAVE calculates the loads at each harmonic order.

    When the Connected Loadoption button is selected, HI_WAVE calculates the loads

    without considering any load or demand factors. If motor loads are identified, and ifmultiple motors are modeled in a single motor load object, the total motor connected loadis the number of motors multiplied by the motors rated size. Otherwise, the load ratedsize is the connected load value. Motors expressed in horsepower and kW output areconverted to electrical units by dividing by the efficiency.

    When the 1st Level Demand or Energy Factoroption button is selected, HI_WAVEcalculates the loads using the first level demand factors or energy audit load factors, asappropriate. If a non-motor load has an energy audit load factor or a demand loadcategory (in the Component Editor), then the Study will use the energy audit load factor or

    03/26/2006

  • 8/14/2019 Reference HI Wave

    29/96

    HI_WAVE Study HI_WAVE 1-25

    the first level demand load factor multiplied by the loads rated size in the ComponentEditor. For motor loads, the load is calculated as the number of motors multiplied by themotor rated size multiplied by the motor load factor. Load diversity resulting fromidentifying multiple levels of demand load factors is not taken into consideration.

    Frequency Scan Setup

    These options determine how HI_WAVE runs the Frequency Scan portion of theHarmonic Simulation. (If you unchecked the Run Frequency Scan box in the Run Studydialog box, these options are irrelevant because HI_WAVE wont run the Frequency Scananyway.) To run the Frequency Scan, HI_WAVE applies a one-per-unit current at eachbus for every order up to the Max Harmonic Order you specified in the setup dialog box.You dont have to have any harmonic sources in the system to see these results.

    The Ground Mode plots triplet orders (that is, the orders that are multiples of 3, such as 3,6, 9, and so on) while the Aerial Mode plots non-triplet orders (that is, the orders that arenot multiples of 3, such as 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and so on).

    The Bus Equivalent Impedance option determines whether or not the HI_WAVE reportsthe Thevenin impedance looking into the bus-to-ground for each bus in the system. This

    data only appears in the reportit doesnt appear in the waveform plots. Because the busequivalent impedance section can generate a lot of report pages (every bus is reported atevery frequency, often spanning 80 pages or more), you can choose not to report busequivalent impedance by unchecking this option. If this option is unchecked, HI_WAVEwill still generate data for the Plots. For more information about the reports, seeAutomatically-Generated Reports on page 1-27.

    Distortion Setup

    These options determine how HI_WAVE runs the Harmonic Distortion portion of theHarmonic Simulation. (If you unchecked the Run Harmonic Distortion box in the RunStudy dialog box, these options are irrelevant because HI_WAVE wont run the HarmonicDistortion anyway.) As with the Frequency Scan portion of the Harmonic Simulation, theGround Mode plots triplet harmonic, or orders that are multiples of 3 (3, 6, 9, etc.). The

    Aerial Mode plots orders that are not multiples of 3 (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, etc.). A total systemanalysis requires the use of both modes to specify the system properly.

    Report Option

    This option determines what distortion data you want HI_WAVE to report. If you chooseBoth, HI_WAVE generates tables showing the voltage and current distortion data for allthe buses in the system, then generates tables showing only the buses which violate theIEEE 519 standard. If you have a small system consisting of 50 or 60 buses, the Bothoption will work just fine. However, if you have a large system consisting of 1,000 ormore buses, you may want to use the Violations Only option because the tables showingthe voltage and current distortion data for all the buses in the system will be extremelylong. For more information about the reports, see Automatically-Generated Reports onpage 1-27.

    Fundamental Solution

    The Fundamental Solution option determines whether HI_WAVE will use the results fromits running of the Load Flow Study or to apply a standard 1-per-unit voltage to the voltageresults (the current results always use the load flow results).

    1.4.2. LF Setup OptionsUse the LF Study Setup dialog box to choose how you want the Load Flow portion of theHarmonic Simulation to create data. (If you unchecked the Run Load Flow box in theRun Study dialog box, these options are irrelevant because HI_WAVE wont run the LoadFlow study anyway. If HI_WAVE doesnt run the Load Flow study, it uses the resultsfrom the last run of the Load Flow study for the distortion calculations.)

    Fig. 1-15. The Load Flow Study Setup dialog box.

    These are the same setup options as those for DAPPERs Load Flow Study.

    It is recommended that you run the Study using the Exact (Iterative) Solution method first.This is because the solution method usually converges on most power systems. In theunlikely event that the steady-state load flow solution does not converge, you should re-run the Study using the Approximate Solution method. If it does not converge, a messagein the Study Message dialog box will notify you of the problem. When the ApproximateSolution method is selected, PTW temporarily converts all loads to constant impedancetype characteristics, making these system losses smaller than if constant kVA type loadswere modeled. An output report is then written, and data is sent to the database. Althoughit is an approximate solution (since the load characteristic is approximated), this solutionmethod may help to identify the reasons for the non-convergence.

    If you have a non-convergent solution, examine the Load Flow Reports bus voltagemismatch values and bus mismatch location, as there may be a data input problem that hascaused the non-convergence. Check specifically for excessive voltage drop and multiplePV generators separated by small impedance values. If the voltage drops are within areasonable range, try adjusting the Solution Criteria. See Solution Criteria, following.

    Load Specification

    When either of the Directly Connected Loads options is selected, the load flow solutioncalculates the load at each bus, then solves the steady state load flow equation

    b g. Neither of these options uses results from the Demand Load Study,

    so HI_WAVE runs the Load Flow Study but doesnt use the results from the last time youran the Demand Load Study.

    When the Connected Load option button is selected, the HI_WAVE Harmonic Simulationcalculates the loads without considering any load or demand factors. If motor loads are

    HI_WAVE Study HI_WAVE 1-27

    identified, and if multiple motors are modeled in a single motor load object, the totalmotor connected load is the number of motors multiplied by the motors rated size.Otherwise, the load rated size is the connected load value. Motors expressed in kW outputare converted to kVA units by dividing by the efficiency, power factor, etc.

    When the 1stLevel Demand or Energy Factor option button is selected, the HI_WAVEHarmonic Simulation calculates the loads using the first level demand factors or energyaudit load factors, as appropriate. If a non-motor load is identified with both an energyaudit load factor and a demand load category, then the Study will use the energy audit loadfactor or the first level demand load factor (depending on the choice in the ComponentEditor) multiplied by the loads rated size. For motor loads, the load is calculated as thenumber of motors multiplied by the motor rated size multiplied by the motor load factor.Load diversity resulting from identifying multiple levels of demand load factors is nottaken into consideration.

    Solution Criteria

    These options control the solution data.

    Generation Acceleration Factor, Load Acceleration Factor

    The two Acceleration Factor text boxes allow you to control how the HI_WAVEHarmonic Simulation converges upon the solution. Generally, the Acceleration Factors donot need to be changed from their default values. However, if a non-convergent solutionoccurs, even after an Approximate Solution method has been run, try changing theGeneration Acceleration Factor and/or the Load Acceleration Factor from their default of1.0 to a factor between 0.1 and 1.0. The smaller the factor, the smaller the step changeused in the iteration solution.

    Bus Voltage Drop, Branch Voltage Drop

    These provide a quick method to flag excessive voltage drops in the output report. In thereport, PTW flags with a dollar sign ($) any bus or branch voltage drop value that exceedsthe limits set in these text boxes. Upon creating a new Project, the default values are a 5%bus voltage drop, and a 3% branch voltage drop. However, you can change these

    percentages by typing a percent value in the appropriate text box.

    1.4.3. Automatically-Generated ReportsHI_WAVE generates a number of reports when it runs:

    You choose to exclude the Total Voltage Distortion table and the Total CurrentDistortion table by selecting Violations Only. If you have a small system consisting of50 or 60 buses, the Both option will work just fine. However, if you have a large systemconsisting of 1,000 or more buses, you may want to use the Violations Only optionbecause the tables showing the voltage and current distortion data for all the buses in thesystem will be extremely long.

    The utility industry has defined a Telephone Influence Factor (TIF) as a dimensionlessquantity which is used to describe the influence of a transmission line on a telephone line.A weighting method known as the C-message weighting curve is used in the calculationof the following equation. These weighting factors are automatically supplied byHI_WAVE in the TIF calculations; the TIF value is a voltage related value:

    Vrms rms voltage.

    A similar value can be calculated for current influence. This factor is referred to as

    current-telephone (IT).

    The IT product is the rms of the current and the weighting factor. It gives an estimate ofthe influence from the current:

    The ANSI/IEEE C57.110-1986 standard offers a recommended procedure for determiningthe capability of transformers to supply non-sinusoidal load currents without losing normallife expectancy. This recommendation suggests that the capability of a transformer with agiven non-sinusoidal load should be operated at a certain percentage of its sinusoidal loadcapability.

    The K-factor takes the opposite approach by calculating the total harmonic influence onthe transformer. This allows you to take the harmonic distortion into account during the

    design phase, and to specify the transformer so that it operates at a sinusoidal load currentcapability even when the load current is non-sinusoidal.

    HI_WAVE calculates and reports the K-factor for all branches in the system. The K-Factor applied to transformers can typically be used to choose K rated transformers.

    Mathematically, the K-factor is defined as:

    where

    The above equation illustrates that the K-Factor is related to Ih2and h2, meaning that it is

    also directly related to losses; h2suggests that a higher order harmonic current has moreinfluence than the lower harmonic current. For example at the 2nd harmonic

    h2= 4, but at the 25th harmonic, h2= 252= 625. Therefore, higher harmonic currentsmay contribute greater losses in some circumstances, and should be kept in mind whendesigning the K-Factor transformer.

    It is important to understand that bothpanes show data for the samePlot. In fact, we canintentionally set both panes to the same waveform to prove that each pane derives its datafrom the same plot (you wouldnt do this in standard practice because its redundant):

    1.5.1. Distortion waveform for buses

    Fig. 1-20. Distort ion waveform for buses.

    The voltage waveform is a very clear way to view the bus voltage distortion since eachharmonic source spectrum is injected into the system in harmonic spectrum form. It iseasy to visualize a spectrum series in a two dimensional array:

    ( V1, V2,V3,V4,V5,V6,V7,V8,V9,V10. . . Vn)

    When an axis disappears because all curves of its type are removed, all annotations thatare associated with that axis will disappear, too. The annotation will also disappear from

    the Edit Annotation dialog box when the axis is not visible, but the annotation still exists.In fact, when the annotations axis reappears, the annotation will reappear, too. Once youhave created an annotation, it becomes linked to its axis and will always appear with the

    axis unless you delete the annotation by clicking the Delete button in the Edit Annotation

    dialog box. If you want to delete the annotation, be sure that the curve is displayed so theannotations name will appear in the Edit Annotation dialog box; if its name does notappear, you cannot highlight it and click the Delete button.

    Annotations are specific to a plot. Therefore, in our example, the Waveform WithoutFilterannotation we created is only linked to the Bus Distortion Voltage Waveform (pu)axis for that particular plot. If we create a new plot for this same case, then display theBus Distortion Voltage Waveform (pu)waveform, the same curve will appear, but theannotation will not, since it is only linked to the Bus Distortion Voltage Waveform (pu)axis in the other plot, not in all plots.

    To hide all the annotations on a plot, use the Plot>Show Annotations command from thePlot menu, which toggles them on or off.

    To control the font size for the Annotations, use the Font>Graph Fontscommand(discussed in Section 1.1.7, Changing Colors and Sizes).

    Tip: You may want to wait until you are ready to print to create Annotations. Thatway, you can minimize having to move them around.

    1.1.6. Exporting a plot as text or as a graphicYou can export the plot to a Windows Metafile (WMF) or a Bitmap (BMP), or as text.

    To export a plot

    1. Click the Plot>Exportcommand.

    2. Choose whether you want to export as a Windows Metafile (WMF), as a Bitmap

    (BMP), or as text. Because the Windows Metafile is vector-based, as opposed to the

    Bitmap, which is raster-based, the Windows Metafile will produce much crisper

    curves when it is printed, particularly if you stretch it to a larger size. However, if

    you want to edit the exported plot picture in a painting program, you will need to use

    the Bitmap format. If you export as text, be sure that you have set the number of

    decimals places you want using the Numeric Precisioncommand from the Case

    menu.3. Choose a Destination. If you choose Clipboard, a picture of the plot will be placed on

    the Windows Clipboard. You can then switch to another program to paste the plot

    picture. (When you export to the Clipboard, you are not saving to a file, but merely

    placing the plot picture in temporary memory.) If you choose File, select a location

    and name for the file. The extension will automatically be set as WMF, BMP, or

    DAT depending on your selection for the Export option.

    4. Choose an Object Size. In most cases you neednt modify these settings, and in fact

    you may compromise the quality of the graphic by doing so. Also, since Windows

    Metafiles are vector-based, they may be resized with no loss of sharpness anyway, so

    there is no need to type a different size. For Bitmaps, though, sharpness will be lost if

    they are resized, so if you know the size that the graphic must be, and you must use a

    Bitmap, you can type a size in pixels. If you do so, though, be sure to maintain theratio of width to height (for example, if the default is 300 points width and 100 points

    height, and you change the width to 900 points, be sure to change the height to 300

    points to maintain the 3:1 width-to-height ratio).

    5. Click the Exportbutton.

    1.1.7. Changing Colors and SizesHI_WAVE provides virtually limitless ways to change the plot windows colors, styles,and fonts. The most significant way to change how the Plot looks, though, is to change theViewing Style.

    The Case>Viewing Stylecommand determines how the plot curves will be drawn and

    whether the background will be color or monochrome (that is, black-and-white). If youwill be printing to a black-and-white printer and the plot has less than four curves shown,the Monochrome setting will work well; however, if the plot has four or more curvesshown, you should use the Monochrome with Symbols mode to help distinguish thecurves.

    Which style you should use depends on the line style you prefer for the curves andwhether you prefer color or monochrome (that is, black-and-white):

    ColorThis mode displays the curves and the plot window using user-definablecolors. For the Line and Spline curve styles, this viewing style uses more pointsto draw the curve so it appears brighter. For the other line styles, however, thisviewing style inundates the curve with points, transforming the curve into an

    excessively thick line.

    Color with Fewer PointsAs with the Color Viewing Style, this Viewing Stylealso displays the curves and the plot window using user-definable colors.However, less points are used to draw the curves. For the Line and Spline styles,the Color with Fewer Points Viewing Style uses less points to draw the curve andthe curve appears faint. For the other line styles, however, this viewing styleallows the individual points to be seen more clearly.

    MonochromeThis mode displays the curves and the plot window in black-and-white.

    Monochrome with SymbolsThis mode also displays the curves and the plotwindow in black-and-white, but adds identifying symbols to the curves to help

    distinguish them from one another (if only one curve is displayed, no symbols areused, and the single curve will look like the Monochrome style).

    To change the colors of the curves and their accompanying axes, and to change the curvestyles, click the Plot>Curve Colors and Styles command. Here are the available styles:
