The demand for electrical energy is increasing day by day and achieving high quality energy is becoming very important subject. Especially, harmonics occurred in power systems not only reduce the quality of the energy but also cause dangerous situations such as heating and burning. For this reason, the estimation of the amplitude and phase of harmonics plays an important role in the design of electrical systems that will reduce the negative effects of harmonics. In this study, a novel harmonic estimator design for the harmonic estimation problem, which is frequently proposed in the literature, is proposed using hybrid particle swarm optimization (HPSO). The obtained results are compared with those of the proposed studies in literature and the success of the designed HPSO based harmonic estimator is analyzed.
