“…The impacts of such disturbing effects can be directly related to power losses, insulation stress, over voltages, power oscillations or even malfunction and damage on sensitive loads (Bollen, 2000). Among a number of different areas related to this question, during the last decades intensive research has been directed to the definition of power quality indices and revenue metering techniques, suitable for monitoring nonlinear and unbalanced systems (Ferrero et al, 1998;Marafão et al, 2002;Farghal et al, 2002). Considering the power quality monitoring, important indices have been defined to estimate the amount of harmonic distortion or unbalances on the measured voltage (v) and currents (i) or also how these distortions affect other indicators, such as, e.g., the power factor (PF).…”
