These indices consist of two quantities, the amplitude $delta U$ and the rate f of voltage changes. These indices are determined from changes in the rms values of voltage at time U(t). Voltage fluctuation indices allow statistical evaluation of voltage variation, also considering flicker assession. In addition, voltage fluctuation indices allow recreation of voltage changes caused by disturbing loads that changes its operating state with a frequency of up to 20 Hz. The recreation of voltage changes allows recalculation of voltage fluctuation indices to other parameters describing voltage variations, and allows determination of parameters associated with sources of voltage fluctuations. The paper has been proposed a new method for determining voltage fluctuation indices that allows for the recreation of voltage changes, considering disturbing loads that change their operating state with a frequency greater than 20 Hz. The need to change the method of determining voltage fluctuation indices is justified by the increasing number of power electronics devices, which are the source of this type of disturbances. The quality of the proposed solution was verified by simulation and experimental studies with the use of the short-time flicker indicator Pst.","PeriodicalId":436720,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (ICHQP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120954068","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 impact of different test conditions, like the mounting orientation or ambient temperature on the stabilisation time is studied. The results suggest that the stabilisation times should be individually determined for a tested device and the applied test conditions has to be carefully selected to adequately reflect reality.","PeriodicalId":436720,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (ICHQP)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126744705","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 impedance connected between a neutral point and the ground influences the total zero-sequence impedance of a system, which impacts voltages during ground faults. Therefore, there is a relation between the grounding scheme and voltage disturbances, like the short-duration rms voltage variations (SDVVs), which include interruptions, sags, and swells. Hence, this paper presents an analytical evaluation of the influence of the neutral-grounding resistance on SDVVs during single-phase-to-ground (LG) and two-phase-to-ground (LLG) faults for an industrial system. It is observed that the influence occurs mainly on phase-to-ground voltages, there being an impact on phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase ones just for a few values of fault resistance. The results thus indicate better neutral grounding practices for industrial systems and show the best load connections, concerning SDVVs and equipment tripping.","PeriodicalId":436720,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (ICHQP)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123781222","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}

With the increased focus on DERs and new consumer electronic loads, one aspect that often gets ignored is the economic impact of harmonic emission from such energy sources and loads. This paper is part of a first attempt to bridge this gap in knowledge. Based upon previous research, a new ‘harmonic losses calculator’ was developed. This calculator quantifies losses due to the flow of harmonic currents on a distribution circuit and assigns a dollar value to them. Coupling this tool with the pre-existing ‘Harmonic Evaluation Module’, a new framework is proposed in which the economic impact of non-linear load or DER penetration can be accurately determined. The objective behind such an exercise is to enable utilities to evaluate the impact of harmonic load or savings due to DER penetration, at the planning stage. The framework is demonstrated by showing the impact of penetration of harmonic load and DER on two known distribution circuits, in the OpenDSS simulation framework. This is followed by a discussion of the change in operating costs of the feeder due to such load or generation. The paper closes with a discussion of the anticipated future research and expected capabilities to be added to this framework.","PeriodicalId":436720,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (ICHQP)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128801565","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}
