Theoretical Analysis of the Voltage Unbalance Factor to Characterize Unbalance Problems in Induction Motors

Voltage Unbalance Problems and Solutions for Electrified Railway Systems

Voltage and current unbalance problems of power networks due to AC electrified railway systems are studied and their influences such as the voltage unbalance factor and the current negative sequence contribution factor injected to the network are calculated. Several methods can be used for reducing the power quality unbalance problems which have been proposed and the best of them is chosen by c...

Voltage Equalization of DC Link capacitors in a CHB-Based PET under the Unbalance Voltage Conditions

The unbalance currents injection by power electronic transformers in order to improve the unbalance voltage conditions of the network causes an imbalanced voltage in the DC link capacitors and creates an active powers inequality in the different phases. In this paper, the proposed control structure independently controls the active power of each phase by modifying the power angle between the vo...

5.1.3 Introduction to Unbalance

Impact of voltage unbalance on the performance of three-phase induction motor

Availability of quality power has become an important issue for industrial utilities due to frequent performance variations in process industries. Increase in the generating capacity has not kept up pace of power demand, which results into shortage of power supply and power system network is normally subjected to varying and unequal loads across the three phases. Continuous variation of single-...

Attenuation and propagation of voltage unbalance in radial distribution networks

Recently published International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) technical reports IEC 61000-3-13 provides detailed methodologies for managing voltage unbalance (VU) in electric power systems. A key aspect in the VU emission allocation process is the estimation of VU propagation in different parts of the network. Although the VU propagation from upstream networks to downstream networks is adeq...
