Popis: The need to monitor the power network is leading to a significant increase in the number of measurement points. These points consist of intelligent electronic devices and instrument transformers (or more in general sensors). However, as the number of devices increases, so does the demand for their characterization and testing. To this end, the authors formulated a new characterization procedure that offers numerous benefits for manufacturers and system operators. These benefits include: (i) reducing testing time (thus lowering costs), (ii) simplifying the existing procedures, and (iii) increasing the number of tested devices. In this study, to complete the validation of the proposed characterization procedure, the authors performed a comprehensive uncertainty evaluation. This included the identification and analysis of the uncertainty sources, the implementation of the Monte Carlo method to obtain the statistical parameters of the quantities of interest, and the final method assessment according to the obtained results. Each step is described in detail, and the results allow one to (i) replicate the uncertainty analysis on other types of instrument transformers and (ii) implement the proposed harmonic characterization procedure with the confidence that the method is accurate, flexible, and scalable.
