abstract = {The identification of distortion sources in a power
system is a topic unsolved. The problem has a difficult solution
because there are elements in the system that do not produce
harmonic but amplifies the existing in the electrical network. The
most common of those elements is the capacitor, very used to
compensate power factor at fundamental frequency. The
capacitor behaviour makes that the indices proposed up now to
identify distorsion indices fail in the presence of this element. In
this paper, a new one is presented: the load characterization
index. Besides using an extended equivalent circuit to represent
the load, this index calculates the distortion introduced by the
load, evaluating, besides the current distortion at its input, the
voltage distortion at its terminals. The introduction of voltage
assesing makes the index suitable to identify the linear and nonlinear
loads in the power system even in the presence of
capacitors.},
