Abstract

Supraharmonic emissions, referred to as voltage/current waveform distortions in the 2–150 kHz range, have been identified as an emerging power quality concern. With the increased number of non-linear devices connected to the power grid, such as photovoltaic inverter systems, supraharmonic disturbances are expected to increase. Despite being a source of supraharmonic emissions, power electronic equipment has become a ubiquitous technology due to recent advancements. Similarly, researchers around the world have started studying these emissions; however, complete systematic knowledge concerning supraharmonic emissions is yet to be achieved. This paper uniquely delves into characterising emissions using existing knowledge, significantly improving the understanding of their complex micro-level interactions and highlighting emerging challenges. The paper presents a comprehensive summary integrating existing studies on supraharmonic emissions in five key areas: emissions, propagation and attenuation, measurement techniques, modelling and simulation, and mitigation.
