Abstract :
The properties of a load decomposition method based on measured current and voltage waveforms and used for obtaining the load composition at distribution level are studied. To improve the precision of the results a generalised nonlinear load model is used which takes into account the harmonic interaction between voltage and current. Several tests have been carried out in laboratory and field environments. Results show that it is possible to obtain information about loads when these are grouped according to their electrical behaviour.
