Abstract :
To aid in locating the source and type of harmonics in a distribution system, a computer program called HARM TRACER has been developed. HARM TRACER is a reverse harmonic power flow study program which traces the flow of harmonics in a radial distribution system from the point of measurement to the harmonic source or sources. It does so by considering each bus of the radial distribution system one at a time and calculating the bus voltages and injected or absorbed power at all frequencies. Based on the harmonic voltages, direction of harmonic currents, and harmonic power injections, the buses that are sources of harmonics are identified.<>
