The impact of non-sinusoidal voltages on the harmonic generation of power electronics converters

Power electronics converters coupled to the network increase every day with the different applications such as photovoltaic systems for example. The objective of this study was to observe the impact of non-sinusoidal voltages on the harmonic generation of power electronic converters. . The present scenario in which both load and source inject harmonic components on the grid requires much research to better understand their behavior and impact. Matlab/Simulink simulations were performed to evaluate these interactions. The results obtained have shown the impact of the harmonic voltage on the harmonic currents generated for different magnitude levels and frequencies of the applied voltage.
