The thesis presents the Electric Power System of Slovenia, the theoretical foundations of harmonic distortion, and the updates to the impedance model of Slovenia’s power system, which enable harmonic distortion analysis based on real data from power plants, transmission lines, transformers, and compensation devices. The model is based on the use of a distributed pi-model for high-voltage lines and includes an upgrade of the system at the 110 kV level with additional compensation.
To display the impact of connecting new devices to the Slovenian power grid on harmonic distortion, simulations with two different energy storage systems were conducted in the PowerFactory software environment. The simulation was based on current injections of individual harmonic components (from 50 Hz to 2000 Hz). The results of the simulations are presented in tables and graphs, allowing for a comparison of the impact of the storage systems on power quality.
The analysis showed that a storage unit with higher current injections causes greater harmonic distortion in the system, which implies a higher risk for network operation. A better-quality storage unit that generates lower harmonic components is therefore significantly more suitable for the electric power system.
