In this paper, a state estimation based method is proposed to determine harmonic current contributions of plants supplied from a point of common coupling (PCC). This work mainly aims to reduce gross error of capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) measurements at harmonic frequencies using robust weighted least absolute value (WLAV) state estimation method, which provides the optimum state estimates for harmonic voltages in the presence of a redundant enough measurement set. Estimated harmonic voltages are then used to solve the harmonic current contribution problem based on superposition theorem. It has been shown that the proposed method can provide optimum harmonic estimates when CVTs are used. The use of the proposed method with proper measurement placement makes resistive-capacitive voltage transformers (RCVTs) redundant. Results of the proposed method are comparable with measurements of RCVTs, which have the disadvantages of having high costs and being cumbersome to install.

In this paper, a state estimation based method is proposed to determine harmonic current contributions of iron and steel (I&S) plants supplied from a Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Due to highly nonlinear nature of the iron and steel plant operation, accurate estimation of the harmonic contributions of the individual plants is essential. In the proposed method, the nonlinear characteristics of the plants and the utility are modeled as harmonic current sources and the harmonic current contributions of loads...
