Definition of voltage imbalance adopted by various publications.

Definition of voltage imbalanceReferences

Percentage of negative sequence component of the voltage relative to the positive sequence component[81, 89, 94, 183, 204, 209, 211, 223]
Percentage of the maximum deviation of a single-phase voltage magnitude relative to the average value of all phases[58, 112, 133, 200]
Uses both definitions above[140]
Voltage imbalance not quantified[90, 103, 106, 128, 132, 161, 172]
Voltage magnitude difference between two phases[91]
