Harmonic Analysis of IEEE Distribution Networks

Overview

This repository contains models and preliminary analysis related to harmonic studies on IEEE 18- and 33-bus distribution networks. The study utilizes multiple power system simulation tools: ETAP 12.6.0, DIgSILENT PowerFactory 21, PSS®SINCAL 19.0, and PCFLO 6.0. The models applied in different software tools aim to compare the accuracy of harmonic distortion calculations.

⚠ Note: This research is currently under peer review for the 12th International Conference on Electrical, Electronic and Computing Engineering (IcETRAN 2025). The results and methodology are subject to updates based on the review process.
