The increasing level of harmonics in the power grid, driven by a substantial presence of coupled inverter-based energy resources (IBRs), poses a new challenge to power grid transient stability. This paper presents the findings from experiments and analytical studies on the impact of the topological configuration of coupled IBRs on the level of powe...

... Distributed energy sources are being integrated into power systems on an increasing scale. Nonlinear devices, including grid-connected converters, electromagnetic saturated motors, and impact loads, serve as harmonic sources that inject harmonics into the public grid, thereby impairing the normal operation of the power system [1][2][3][4][5]. To mitigate these harmonics, an accurate harmonic state evaluation (HSE) is essential [6][7][8][9]. ...
In distribution grids with the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems, power signals are often contaminated with time-varying noise and frequency deviation caused by low-frequency inertia. To achieve an accurate dynamic harmonic state estimate (HSE), a novel method based on an improved Sage–Husa unscented Kalman filter (ISHUKF) is proposed. Considering the frequency deviation, a nonlinear filter model for power signal is proposed, and a UKF is used to address the nonlinear estimation. A Sage–Husa noise estimator is incorporated to enhance the robustness of the UKF-based HSE against the time-varying noise. Additionally, the noise covariance of the Sage–Husa algorithm is modified to ensure the rapid convergence of the estimation. Then, the performance of the proposed method is validated using an IEEE 14-node system. Finally, the method is applied to evaluate the harmonic states of grid-connected inverter faults in real-world scenarios. The simulation and experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method provides an accurate dynamic HSE even in the presence of time-varying noise and frequency deviation.
