This chapter is dedicated to review and investigate present approaches to power quality assessment in low-voltage (LV) networks with distributed generation (DG). Two comple‐ mentary approaches are considered: firstly, origin of the emission limits requirement for the DG is searched in general electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) conditions used for the equipment and adopted to DG; secondly, rule...

Solar power and wind are the most promising distributed energy sources. The photovoltaic system has attracted significant attention in recent years. Although their benefits are numerous, they are known to create power quality issues, because of the power electronic converters they use. This paper investigates if there is a possibility to improve power quality only by connecting a solar photovol...

the present study was carried out to evaluate three interpolation methods including weighted moving average (wma) with the power of 2 and 3, kriging and cokriging methods. data of 23 wells in mazandaran province were collected in fall and spring 2006. seven parameters including electrical conductivity (ec), ph, total dissolved solids (tds), sodium adsorption ratio (sar), total hardness (th), ch...

The laser sintering process of multi-component powder W/Cu is simulated by ANSYS software based on the factors of radiation, convection and thermal physical parameters on temperature. The laser power and scanning velocity which are the key process parameters to affect directly in sintering molding are studied in paper. The results show that when the scanning velocity is constant, the sintering ...

Abstract: The aim of this letter is to present a universal power quality conditioning system (UPQS) named after unified power quality conditioner (UPQC), which is extended by adding a shunt active filter at the load side. Its main purpose...

Abstrac t In the paper a virtual instrument for power quality measurement and research is proposed. The instrument is divided in several modules which provide generation, measurement and recording of the typical power quality (PQ) disturbances such as: harmonics, voltage dips, interruptions, flicker, unbalance etc. The virtual instrument allows setting different measurement parameters which exp...
