Since at the low-voltage level a four-wire system and at the medium-and high-voltage level a three-wire system is installed, the method to identify the grid impedance has to be varied. This paper proposes a method that could be applied for the identification of the time and frequency dependent grid impedance at the medium- and high-voltage level. Another aspect that has to be considered is how to dimension the variable switched resistive load, which is necessary to stimulate the grid. The power-range of this load is limited by the maximum allowable voltage drop in the grid. Furthermore it is important to investigate what kind of power terms are caused by the nonsinusoidal stimulation of the grid in balanced and unbalanced configurations. For this purpose the power theory of Fryze is applied.","PeriodicalId":143815,"journal":{"name":"2008 International School on Nonsinusoidal Currents and Compensation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120838843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important disadvantage of this structure is the unequal distribution of losses among the switches. The performances of 3L-NPC structure were improved by developing the 3L-ANPC (Active-NPC) converter which has more degrees of freedom. In this paper the switching states and the loss distribution problem are studied for different PWM strategies. A new PWM strategy is also proposed in the paper. It has numerous advantages: (a) natural doubling of the apparent switching frequency without using the flying-capacitor concept, (b) dead times do not influence the operating mode at 50% of the duty cycle, (c) operating at both high and small switching frequencies without structural modifications and (d) better balancing of loss distribution in switches. The PSIM simulation results are shown in order to validate the proposed PWM strategy and the analysis of the switching states.","PeriodicalId":143815,"journal":{"name":"2008 International School on Nonsinusoidal Currents and Compensation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114853071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The considered system is composed of: the three-phase asymmetrical voltage source with periodical nonsinusoidal waveforms, inner impedances of the voltage source and asymmetrical linear three-phase loads. In contrast to earlier approaches the voltage source is not symmetrical. In the paper a method of symmetrization of these systems has been proposed. After symmetrization it is possible to obtain symmetrical line currents of the system. Their RMS values and active power losses on source impedances can be lower. Moreover, the source can generate greater active power than before symmetrization. The working point after symmetrization can be obtained by means of connection of a symmetrizing system. The main goal is to use the symmetrizing system composed of LC one-ports, but generally it is necessary to use the active symmetrizing system. Their structure is determined as a result of a synthesis process. In this paper the symmetrization problem has been solved by using the symmetrical components theory and compensation of reactive power for each harmonic of the voltage under consideration.","PeriodicalId":143815,"journal":{"name":"2008 International School on Nonsinusoidal Currents and Compensation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115787809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is susceptible to give similar balance phenomena as conventional loaded equipment. The supply source is tuned as to obtain quasi-stable motion. The current and voltage evolution is represented in the phasespsila plane. To result a smooth enough wave, regression methods are used.

As a protective device, residual current devices (RCDs) are commonly used. In certain conditions using the RCDs is obligatory. The widespread application of static converters, especially frequency converters, results in installing RCDs in circuits where nonsinusoidal earth fault current flows. The earth fault current in the output circuit of frequency converters comprises harmonics and interharmonics, whose order mainly depends on the PWM frequency. The level of higher frequency components in the earth fault current may exceed the fundamental one. The nonsinusoidal earth fault current influences tripping of the residual current devices. In the paper, results of the theoretical analysis and the laboratory tests of residual current devices operation are presented and discussed. They prove that in some cases higher frequency components cause improper tripping of the residual current devices and a real hazard of electrocution exists.","PeriodicalId":143815,"journal":{"name":"2008 International School on Nonsinusoidal Currents and Compensation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133136173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
