Impact assessment of Distribution Events on Power Quality in MV networks

Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for assessing the impact or cause-effect relation between Distribution Events (DE) and Power Quality Events (QE) registered in 13.2 kV and 44 kV utility substation busbars, by data mining the time stamps registered into information systems. The results increase the degree of certainty with respect to the responsibility that each distribution circuit has as a potential source of power quality disturbances.
