“…All the above mentioned methods focus on radial distribution systems, and cannot be accurately applied to weakly meshed distribution system which integrates distributed generations (DGs) and bus-tie circuit breakers in the system [10,11]. The commonly used methods for harmonic source localization in transmission systems are such as methods which apply harmonic state estimation (HSE) [12,13], weighted least square estimation (WLSE) [14] and independent component analysis (ICA) [15,16] which require costly measurements, exact knowledge about the system data and complicated calculations. This paper presents an improved method to estimate the location and contribution of harmonic sources in radial and weakly meshed distribution systems.…”
