Calibration of energy and power meters under non-sinusoidal conditions

Power systems contain distorted voltage and current waveforms. Currently, there is not a preferred set of voltage and current waveforms for the calibration of power and energy meters under non-sinusoidal conditions. The paper concentrates on the calibration of power and energy meters under sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal conditions. In particular, criteria for selecting voltage and current waveforms, a calibration procedure and a set of voltage and current waveforms for the calibration of power and energy meters under non-sinusoidal conditions are proposed.
