Abstract :
For pt.I see ibid., vol.10, no.1, p.340-7 (1995). This paper presents an estimate in present worth values (1990 dollars) of the cost to the electric utility to contend with harmonic pollution. These costs include the total active power loss value as well as the capital invested in the design and construction of filtering stations needed to maintain the voltage distortion below 50%. This study focuses on three different 13.8 kV, 10 MVA class feeders. The results are given in the form of a ratio $year/kVA harmonic
