Abstract :
This paper represents Part I of a two-part article which summarizes the probabilistic aspects of harmonics in electric distribution systems. This first part reviews the problems associated with direct application of the fast Fourier transform to compute harmonic levels of nonsteady state distorted waveforms, and various ways to describe recorded data in statistical terms. Each statistical description is applied to a set of recorded data for illustration purposes
