The interactions between different phases, frequencies, and resonances are examined, highlighting their effects on phase and cross-frequency behavior. Amplifications and attenuations occur and are studied in a micro- grid system. The analysis focuses on the influence of background voltage distortions at the 5 th , 23 rd , 49 th , and 103 rd harmonic orders, as well as unbalances, under various simulation scenarios. Finally, comparisons are made to illustrate the relationship between background voltage distortions and the existing non- linear loads within the system.
