Power Quality Standards for Utility Wind and Solar Power Plants
Published by David Mueller, E. H. Camm. Abstract Power quality standards exist to guide the interconnection requirements of large wind and solar plants. IEEE guidelines exist for flicker and harmonics, while IEC guidelines exist for the measurement criteria of power quality phenomena and the characterization of wind turbine equipment. There are also some uniform guidelinesContinue reading “Power Quality Standards for Utility Wind and Solar Power Plants”

The Importance of Good Power Quality
Published by Dr. Kurt Schipman & Dr. François Delincé , ABB Power Quality Products, Belgium ABSTRACT This paper explains the problems that are due to poor Power Quality in electrical systems and shows their possible financial consequences. Power Quality is characterized by parameters that express harmonic pollution, reactive power, and load unbalance. The best possibleContinue reading “The Importance of Good Power Quality”
Voltage Disturbances Flicker Measurement
Published by Zbigniew Hanzelka & Andrzej Bie´n, AGH University of Science and Technology, October 2005 Flicker Measurement Introduction The power supply network voltage varies over time due to perturbations that occur in the processes of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. Interaction of electrical loads with the network causes further deterioration of the electrical power quality.Continue reading “Voltage Disturbances Flicker Measurement”

Service Area Flicker
Published by Dranetz – BMI Case Studies An entire service area of a Midwest facility. The utility was receiving complaints of annoying light flicker from an entire neighborhood. When the utility connected a power monitor to the 240V distribution bus the problem was quantified. The RMS Voltage event summary, Figure 1, indicates the bus voltageContinue reading “Service Area Flicker”
Light Flicker In An Office Complex
Published by Dranetz – BMI Case Studies The second floor of an end unit of an office-condo complex in the Washington DC area. The office space consisted of a reception and meeting area, two private offices, a kitchen area, and a bathroom. The entire area was powered from a single three-phase 208/120V wye feed fromContinue reading “Light Flicker In An Office Complex”
