Since power systems are designed to work at the fundamental frequency, the presence of other frequencies from various sources may induce series and parallel resonances, leading to damage. The behavior of the power system in the presence of harmonics becomes evident with knowledge of harmonic impedance. Measurement offers the most accurate means of estimating harmonic impedance. However, when precise data of the power system parameters are available, highly satisfactory results can be achieved through calculation methods, particularly regarding loads, which are unknown and always change. This paper presents a study on estimating harmonic impedance using the Electromagnetic Transients Program Alternative Transient Program Draw (EMTP-ATPDraw) program, applied to an authentic network of Petrovice line 67, 22/0.4 kV, located in the Czech Republic. Hypothetically, the network was subjected to harmonic injection from a source (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th harmonics), and the harmonic impedance was calculated for three different variants: individual harmonics, all harmonics, and all except the 9th harmonic. The results show that the presence of the 9th harmonic can lead to a parallel resonance. This study is the first to employ EMTP-ATPDraw for programming this network. It gives the possibility to create a network database for different operating conditions, offering an asset for future project planning.
