外文原文（复印件） A: The Utility Interface with Power Electronic System Introduction We discussed various powerline disturbances and how power electronic converters can perform as power conditioners and uninterruptible power supplies to prevent these poweline disturbances from disrupting the operation of critical loads such as computers used for controlling important processes, medical equipment, and the like. However, all power electronic converters (including those used to protect critical loads) can add to the inherent powerline disturbances by distorting the utility waveform due to harmonic currents injected into the utility grid and by producing electromagnetic interference, To illustrate the problems due to current harmonics ih in the input current is of a power electronic load, consider the simple block diagram of Fig. 1-6A-1. Due to the finite (non-zero) internal impedance of the utility source which is simply represented by Ls in Fig. l-6A-1, the voltage waveform at the point of common coupling to the other loads will become distorted, which may cause them to malfunction. In addition to the voltage waveform distortion, some other problems due to the harmonic currents are as follows: additional heating and possibly overvoltages (due to resonance conditions) in the utilitys distribution and transmission equipment, errors in metering and malfunction of utility relays, interference with communication and control signals, and so on. In addition to these problems, phase-controlled converters cause notches in the utility voltage waveform and many draw power at a very low displacement power factor which results in a very poor power factor of operation. The foregoing discussion shows that the proliferation of power electronic systems and loads has the potential for significant negative impact on the utilities themselves, as well as on their customers. One approach to minimize this impact is to filter the harmonic currents and the electromagnetic interference (
