Harmonic distortion in power systems can lead to inefficiencies, equipment failures and operational risks. Generally, the high order harmonics are introduced in a system when the electricity is controlled by electronics. Traditional detection methods, such as Fourier and wavelet analysis, typically face challenges with real-time detection due to high computational demands. The harmonic measurements are conducted on Power Quality Analyzers, Harmonic Analyzers and numeric meters. This paper proposes a novel neural network-based approach for harmonic distortion detection, utilizing the pattern recognition capabilities of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The proposed method is simple, cost effective and feasible.
