%0 Journal Article %T The Effects of Mutual Coupling and Transformer Connection Type on Frequency Response of Unbalanced Three Phase Electrical Distribution System %A Omer Gul %A Adnan Kaypmaz %J Energy and Power Engineering %P 238-247 %@ 1947-3818 %D 2010 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/epe.2010.24035 %X In this paper, a novel harmonic modeling technique by utilizing the concept of multi-terminal components is presented and applied to frequency scan analysis in multiphase distribution system. The proposed modeling technique is based on gathering the same phase busses and elements as a separate group (phase grouping technique, PGT) and uses multi-terminal components to model three-phase distribution system. Using multi- terminal component and PGT, distribution system elements, particularly, lines and transformers can effectively be modeled even in harmonic domain. The proposed modeling technique is applied to a test system for frequency scan analysis in order to show the frequency response of the test system in single and three-phase conditions. Consequently, the effects of mutual coupling and transformer connection types on three-phase frequency scan responses are analyzed for symmetrical and asymmetrical line configurations. %K Harmonic Resonance %K Unbalanced Distribution System %K Frequency Scan %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=3147
