Patent attributes
Systems and methods for harmonic resonance control are described. In some embodiments, a system comprises a first switch-controlled VAR source and a harmonic management block which may each be configured to be coupled to a distribution power network. The first switch-controlled VAR source may comprise a first processor, a voltage compensation component, and a switch. The first processor may be configured to enable the voltage compensation component after a delay by controlling the switch based on first proximate voltage after a duration associated with the delay to adjust voltage volt-ampere reactive. The harmonic management block may be configured to compare a second proximate voltage to at least one resonant threshold to detect potential resonance caused by enablement of the voltage compensation component and to engage based on the comparison the resonance compensation component to manage the potential resonance.
