| Abstract |
Typical household loads have nonlinear loads including a personal computer, video, refrigerator, microwave oven, TV, and audio set These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of the power system Harmonic field measurements have shown that the harmonic contents of a waveform varies with time. A cumulative probablistic approach is the most commonly used method to solve time varying harmonics, This paper provides in depth analysis on harmonics field measurement of the typical household loads for one year period and the survey is conducted with the objectives to identify the trends of harmonic distortion level present and indentify the future trends of metering in the presence of nonsinusoidal current and voltage waveforms in the system. |
