Abstract

This paper presents a methodology that combines the dynamic harmonic domain analysis and discrete companion circuit modeling resulting in a powerful analytic technique, called companion harmonic circuit modeling. This new approach provides a complete method for dynamic harmonic analysis of electric circuits, preserving the advantages of discrete companion circuit models and harmonic analysis, resulting in an accurate steady state initialization and transient analysis method. An illustrative electric system will be used to show power of the proposed technique.
