Potential Use of Fryze’s Approach-Based Power Theories in Waveform Distortion Contribution Assessment

Abstract

This paper explores the potential of some remarkable power theories derived from Fryze’s approach to assessing waveform distortion contributions. The analysis is limited to a simplified system composed of one load and one voltage source connected by a point of common coupling. Finally, some keys to assess are proposed for two types of systems: strong networks (traditional distribution systems) and weak networks (islanded microgrids).
