Abstract
The current study presents a new method for allocation of the contribution of voltage harmonic distortion for consumers and utilities. This method utilizes three-phase voltage and current waveforms at the point of common coupling (PCC) by applying an adaptive Kalman filter to estimate the amplitude and phase angle of the waveform. The fuzzy adaptation part of the Kalman filter allows resetting of the Kalman gain for fast tracking of system variations under transient conditions. Singular value decomposition based on recessive least square is used to estimate the Norton equivalent circuit for the entire system. In the proposed method an Indicator of the voltage value is used to determine the contribution of harmonic distortion for both sides. The characteristics of the proposed method were investigated through simulation of a nonlinear load which is connected to the distribution system and practical data from 130 kV distribution system in north-west of Iran.
