Abstract :
A method for statistically describing power system harmonic voltages in terms of the parameters of the harmonic current sources is presented. It is shown that for a large enough number of sources, a complete probabilistic characterization of the harmonic voltages can be found in terms of the second order moments of each current phasor´s rectangular components. The method is tested on an existing distribution system by using both simulation and field measurements
