"My internship project focused on harmonic distortions caused by distributed generation (in this case mainly solar). I was researching harmonics standards and background information, working with the currently available harmonic data from their network, trying a new harmonics module in their current modeling software, and trying a demonstration license for a new modeling software," Corina shared.
