Among those trying to apply the harmonic limits of IEEE Std 519-2014, there seems to be some confusion on the difference between Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Total Demand Distortion (TDD). This paper is written to provide clarity and direction on how to apply the Standard’s current distortion limits as they were intended for an existing site operating for at least one year. There is also some comment on how to apply the standard during the design phase of a new or retrofit project, but for further discussion on that, please refer to an earlier published paper entitled, ‘A Practical and Effective Way of Applying IEEE Std 519-2014 Harmonic Limits'.
