It is significant to boost the construction of small hydropower stations in mountainous areas due to the source water's abundance and big fall. However, the instability of small hydro increases the power quality problems such as harmonic and inter-harmonic when synchronizing and brings about lots of difficulties in the rapid development. To solve the power quality problems is an important bottleneck in the development of small hydro. This paper bases on the currently available harmonic and inter-harmonic detection methods, focuses on the specific situation of small hydro synchronization and pu...
