Light flicker can be caused by interharmonics because these components are able to introduce fluctuations both in rms and peak value of supply voltage. The IEC standard flickermeter was deigned, for historical reasons, only with reference to amplitude voltage modulation that is the first source of light flicker identified. Nevertheless, the instrument was expected to properly work and measure also the effects of interharmonics. The paper presents a test system able to perform the advanced calibration and performance verification of flickermeter also with reference to interharmonic pollution. The experimental results obtained testing a commercial instrument are shown and discussed.","PeriodicalId":406398,"journal":{"name":"2004 11th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (IEEE Cat.

In evaluating these various solutions, considerations must include effectiveness, installation costs, and total cost of ownership. Typically, total cost of ownership will outweigh installation costs. The largest component in total cost of ownership is energy consumption. This work will report results obtained measuring changes in energy consumption brought about by varying distribution system elements for distribution systems supplying single-phase nonlinear loads. The elements that were incorporated in the study include: (1) Various transformer types and impedances including (a) Standard (conventional), (b) K-13, (c) Zig-Zag; (2) Various distribution conductor configurations and lengths; (3) A Harmonic suppression system. Data were collected utilizing a laboratory 15 kVA distribution system. System energy consumption measurements and transformer secondary harmonic measurements provided data to enable evaluation of the various system configurations being studied.","PeriodicalId":406398,"journal":{"name":"2004 11th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (IEEE Cat.

Two approaches have been chosen by the authors: using a Monte-Carlo-method, the remaining voltages for random failure locations in the network are calculated. The simulation can be done for an arbitrary number of years, the number of dips per year is taken from the fault statistics. Using the second method, the calculation of the remaining voltage is performed for failures in every node of the network. The results are weighted according to the failure probability of each node. The dip duration is derived from the network's protection system. These methods have been applied to a real network. The results are compared with a 2-years-measurement in the network. Furthermore the rating of an appropriate dynamic voltage restorer is discussed.","PeriodicalId":406398,"journal":{"name":"2004 11th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (IEEE Cat.

They may cause harmonics in the supply voltage and create problems, for example, in the distribution network. Active and passive filters are the traditional way of filtering currents. However, both of these have some disadvantages, namely resonance and tuning problems in passive filters and lack of high power switches in active filters. Research has recently been done to combine active and passive filters. These combinations are called hybrid filters and their purpose is to work efficiently without the disadvantages characteristic of the active and passive filter used alone. This paper presents a comparison of three hybrid filter topologies. All hybrid filters included in the comparison are based on a series active power filter. The comparison between filters is made according to their capability to filter current harmonics in the case of nonlinear load at different operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":406398,"journal":{"name":"2004 11th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (IEEE Cat.

This work considers these sequence transfers and then outlines a nonlinear harmonic domain approach to unbalanced PWM STATCOM modelling. The proposed model is validated against time domain simulation and used to consider a STATCOM under unbalanced conditions. This investigation concludes that the impact of system imbalance on STATCOM performance is two-fold. The imbalance generates noncharacteristic harmonics, which in turn propagate through the control system causing a secondary effect on characteristic harmonic generation. The magnitude of this secondary effect is dependent on the control system, highlighting the necessity of including an accurate control scheme representation. In addition this unbalanced propagation through the controller decreases system linearity, making it necessary to recalculate the Jacobian at each iteration.","PeriodicalId":406398,"journal":{"name":"2004 11th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (IEEE Cat.

A probabilistic approach is required for performing the task in complicated industrial processes. Prob-a-sag is a novel method combining all these features. Two-dimensional arrays are used for expressing the quantities and carrying out the analysis or optimization. Equipment sag sensitivity is expressed as tripping probability, which enables the probabilistic sensitivity assessment of a large process. The method is very flexible; increasing the array resolution improves the result precision. If sag quantities other than depth and duration are preferred, we may increase the number of array dimensions accordingly. Prob-a-sag is compatible with any spreadsheet application, or may be implemented in sophisticated network analysis software.","PeriodicalId":406398,"journal":{"name":"2004 11th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (IEEE Cat.
