Harmonics has a dynamic, time-varying nature

which needs to be properly understood and

addressed. Traditional methods are not sufficient.

.
At this section some applications of statistical representation of harmonics are also
presented.
.

Over the past several years, electric utilities have experienced and research
groups have confirmed the nondeterministic nature of harmonics due to continual
changes in system configurations, in linear load demands, and in operating modes of
nonlinear loads.
Taking into account the time-varying nature of harmonics, it is useful to
introduce random variables and to apply probabilistic techniques of analysis.
Therefore the Time variations of the harmonics and impedances must be considered
in designing optimal filters.
