Abstract

This paper presents an improved method for determining the contribution of harmonic distortion generated by utility and customer at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) in a distorted power system. For this purpose, first the magnitude and phase of voltage and current at the PCC in each frequency are estimated by adaptive Kalman filter. Then the parameters of Thevenin equivalent circuits of load and utility sides are estimated using the recursive least squares technique based on singular value decomposition (SVD). Finally, the contribution of utility and customer in harmonic distortion of the 3-phase voltage waveforms has been calculated by three approaches. A case study has been made to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. Also, the presented method has been used in a 13-bus IEEE standard distribution system. Presented simulation results show that the proposed method can accurately determine the harmonic contributions of utility and customer for measurements made at the PCC.
