Abstract

This project entitled "Analysis of Methods Applied to Estimate the Reponsibilities between Consumer and Utility for Harmonic Distortions" has its main objective the identification of responsibilities between consumer and utility for the harmonic distortion at determined Point of Common Coupling (PCC). In this sense, this research aims the analysis of the methodologies that were proposed by the correlated literature. However, these methodologies will be properly implemented and analyzed in different operation conditions to define and guide the approaches that will be proposed by the Research Group where this project will be developed. Thus, another objective of this project is the identification of the better methodology for each condition simulated. In addition, the methodologies were chosen because of their repercussion in the scientific community, where three methods idealized by national and international research groups were considered.
