Power Quality Issues in Smart Grid Environment – Serbian Case Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper discusses power and especially voltage quality issues in the smart grid environment. New demands that are facing the distribution network, by introducing the concept of intelligent networks (Smart Grids), are presented. Some examples of non-compliance of laws and practices in Serbia are presented as well, as the illustration of lack of strategic planning in the field. Through several case studies, a few typical problems regarding power quality, occurring in the electrical utilities in Serbia, which have to be solved in a new environment are presented. In the end, the conclusion and specific suggestions in regard with the importance of strategic planning and preparation for the customization to the expected changes are given. Key-Words: power quality, smart grids, power quality monitoring, harmonics, volt var control

A New High Frequency Grid Impedance Estimation Technique for the Frequency Range of 2 to150 kHz
Grid impedance estimation is used in many power system applications such as grid connected renewable energy systems and power quality analysis of smart grids. The grid impedance estimation techniques based on signal injection uses Ohm’s law for the estimation. In these methods, one or several signal(s) is (are) injected to Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Then the current through and voltage of ...
متن کاملVery Fast Load Flow Calculation Using Fast-Decoupled Reactive Power Compensation Method for Radial Active Distribution Networks in Smart Grid Environment Based on Zooming Algorithm
Distribution load flow (DLF) calculation is one of the most important tools in distribution networks. DLF tools must be able to perform fast calculations in real-time studies at the presence of distributed generators (DGs) in a smart grid environment even in conditions of change in the network topology. In this paper, a new method for DLF in radial active distribution networks is proposed. The ...

This paper proposes an Optimal Power Flow (OPF) algorithm by Direct Load Control (DLC) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. The cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with DLC programs. The load curtailment cost is based ...
متن کاملDynamic Demand Management in an Airconditioner System by Frequency Control in Smart Grid Environment
As there is a rapid growth both in the number of power consumers and also the limitations energy resources, it is clearly accepted that the old version of power grid must change into smart grid from head to toe. One of the most important advantages of smart grid which makes it much more exclusive rather than other typical systems is the two-way connectivity between the utility and the costumers...
متن کاملImproving the Voltage Profile of the Power System Using PV-STATCOM
This paper presents a novel concept of utilizing the photo voltaic solar farm inverter as STATCOM(Static Compensator), named PV-STATCOM, in order to improve the voltage profile of the power system. The entire STATCOM is able to transmit either active or reactive power into the grid. This system is connected to a 14 BUS IEEE standard grid as a case study to simulate the performance of the system...
