Unipower – About Power Quality
Published by Unipower AB, Metallgatan 4C, 44132 Alingsås, Sweden. Email: info@unipower.se Power quality is a generic term for disturbance-free electricity supply. Deviation from voltage sinusoidal waveform (50 Hz), which may result in equipment being disturbed or damaged, is to be regarded as a power quality disturbance. This means that the more sensitive equipment you connect toContinue reading “Unipower – About Power Quality”

Transient Detection using Peak Detectors
Published by Jonny Carlsson, Unipower AB, http://www.unipower.se Background The main problem with transients in the electrical network is that a high voltage potential might break the isolation barrier in for example cables or other equipment in the electrical network. It may also harm semiconductors that are sensitive of high voltage. A transient voltage is byContinue reading “Transient Detection using Peak Detectors”
Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Unbalance Mitigation and Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Network
Publishd by Ahmed A. Abdullah AL-KARAKCHI1, Enaam ALBANNA2, Alya H. AL-RIFAIE3, Northern Technical University (1,2,3) ORCID: 1. 0000-0003-1151-3015; 2. 0000-0002-3974-0116; 3. 0000-0002-7978-2193 Abstract. Unbalanced network voltage damages utility and end-user equipment. Electrified trains, single-phase distributed generators, and line-toline connected industrial loads can increase voltage imbalances. Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) at appropriate places is oneContinue reading “Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Unbalance Mitigation and Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Network”
