The Hartley series and its application to power quality assessment

An analog to the Fourier series (FS) that is based on the cosine-and-sine function is presented. The new series is related to the Hartley transform and is termed the Hartley series (HS). Properties and applications of the Hartley series are discussed in general. The technique is valuable for the assessment of power quality in industrial and commercial power distribution systems. In particular, the impact of switched and pulse modulated loads and AC/DC converters can be analyzed. An example is given in which an industrial distribution system impacted by a six-pulse rectifier load is analyzed.<
