What is harmonics. How does it get generated and means to
arrest harmonics

Answer Posted / umair qayyum

Deviation of an ac signal from pure sinoside causes the
harmonics to exist.They are generated both because of non
linear loads; and generators because of the nonuniform
srator windings and magnetic fields in practical case.
When a sonosidal voltage is applied to a linear load,a
proportional current is also drawn with it.But when it is
applied to a non linear load,it causes the current to vary
disproportionately with the voltage due to which
nonsinosidal waveforms are created containg
distortions,whereby 50/60 hertz frequency contains numerous
waveforms superimposed upon it which are the multiple
frequencies of the normal 50/60 hz sine wave.

(1)The demand for electricity , the amount of renewable generation available, the amount of fossil fuel generation available and the cost of the fossil fuel generation are shown in table below period(hrs) demand(MW) renewable (MW) fossil- fuel(MW) cost of fossil fuel(MW) 00.00 - 01.00 2000 1800 2000 30 01.00 - 02.00 2300 2500 2000 30 02.00 - 03.00 2500 2700 2100 45 03.00 - 04.00 2900 3100 2100 50 04.00 - 05.00 2700 2600 2500 45 05.00 - 06.00 2400 2000 2700 50 06.00 - 07.00 2200 1800 2000 36 07.00 - 08.00 2100 1600 2000 36 Assuming that the renewable generation incurs zero cost, determine an optimal generation schedule(specifying the amount of renewable generation and fossil fuel generation used in each period, the cost for each period and the overall cost for 8 hours.)
