The main subject of this article is the calculation of additional energy losses due to current harmonics generated by nonlinear consumers. The calculations were performed using a mathematical formula derived from specialized literature and applied in the present study, in a novel manner, to an electrical supply network serving an assembly of oil wells. The primary effect of this article is to draw attention to nonlinear consumers who generate current harmonics and, in doing so, implicitly incur energy losses for the DSO.
