Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power grid harmonic detection technology, specifically relating to a distributed harmonic measurement device. Background Technology
[0002] Harmonics in power systems refer to sinusoidal waves with frequencies that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency, which can adversely affect power quality, grid security, and equipment lifespan. Therefore, effective measurement and control of harmonics are crucial for the normal operation of power systems. Currently, harmonic measurement mostly employs single-point measuring devices. However, existing single-point harmonic measuring devices cannot reflect the global distribution and variation of harmonics in the power system; they can only provide local information and cannot determine the location and characteristics of harmonic sources, making harmonic source tracing and mitigation difficult. Therefore, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
