Impact of High-Frequency Voltage Distortion Emitted by Large Photovoltaic Power Plant on Medium Voltage Cable Systems

Switching processes of voltage source converters can emit significant high-frequency distortions of frequencies between 5 to 20 kHz. Furthermore, the distortions can partly propagate from the place of their origin into a medium voltage system via capacitive coupling of power transformers. The origin, parameters, and propagation process of distortions were clarified by a numerical simulation of a 1...
