This paper presents a method for the computation of the cost of harmonic losses in a subdistribution feeder. The cost of harmonics including the cost of the filters, is compared with the cost of the 60 Hz power loss as well as the total annual cost of the system. The study recommends evaluating the cost of harmonics by using the incremental cost of harmonic current $/A/year or the incremental cost of the harmonic reactive power, $/kVar/year.
