A Review on Voltage Control Methods for Active Distribution Networks
Published by Tengku Juhana TENGKU HASHIM1, Azah MOHAMED2, Hussain SHAREEF3, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Abstract. Power distribution systems are in the state of transition from passive to active networks due to the rising penetration level of distributed generators (DGs). One of the technical challenges of active networks is to maintain an acceptable voltage level. This problemContinue reading “A Review on Voltage Control Methods for Active Distribution Networks”
General Reference – Effects of Harmonics at Industrial Facilities
Published by Electrotek Concepts, Inc., PQSoft Case Study: General Reference – Effects of Harmonics at Industrial Facilities, Document ID: PQS0409, Date: September 30, 2004. Abstract: Harmonic currents injected into the system by nonlinear loads, and the voltage distortion they create as they flow through system impedances, can reduce equipment operating reliability and service life. Potential problemsContinue reading “General Reference – Effects of Harmonics at Industrial Facilities”

How High Voltage PTs (VTs) and CTs Limit the Input to PQ Voltage Transient Measuring Instruments and Limit the High Order Harmonic Accuracies of Voltage and Current
Published by Terry Chandler, Director of Engineering, Power Quality Thailand Ltd. & Power Quality Inc., USA. Application Note, Sept. 2013Emails: terryc@powerquality.org, terryc@powerquality.co.th Typical PTs and CTs cause errors and issues in PQ measurements in three areas: 1. Harmonics As the PT and CT have very poor frequency response, they are in affect are a low pass filter onContinue reading “How High Voltage PTs (VTs) and CTs Limit the Input to PQ Voltage Transient Measuring Instruments and Limit the High Order Harmonic Accuracies of Voltage and Current”
Some Aspects of the Growing Penetration of Wind Energy in the Polish Power System
Published by Tadeusz SKOCZKOWSKI1, Maksymilian KOCHAŃSKI1,2, Warsaw University of Technology (1), Research and Innovation Centre Pro-Akademia (2) Abstract. According to the Energy Policy of Poland by 2030 the national power system will have to acquire 12 times more electricity from wind energy than in 2011. This challenging policy goal entails a number of significant consequences.Continue reading “Some Aspects of the Growing Penetration of Wind Energy in the Polish Power System”
