Abstract

A new method is proposed in this paper to determine the harmonic contributions of a customer at the point of common coupling. The method can quantify customer and utility responsibilities for limit violations caused by either harmonic source changes or harmonic impedance changes. It can be easily implemented in current power quality monitors and digital revenue meters. The method makes it possible to develop fair and consistent billing schemes for `online´ harmonic control
