Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPOWER QUALITY DIAGNOSIS IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK USING WAVELET TRANSFORMH. H. Goh, H. L. Ting, Q. S. Chua et al.Power quality is one of the most concerns to the electric power suppliers, equipment manufacturers and the users of various electrical and electronic equipments. This paper presents the use of a continuous wavelet transform to detect and analyse voltage sags and swells. Characteristics which include duration and magnitude of the investigated signals are measured. Unlike other approaches where the detection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2013 · 7,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVoltage Sag Effects on the Process Continuity of a Refinery with Induction Motors LoadsTarek I. ElShennawy, Mahmoud A. El-Gammal, Amr Y. Abou-GhazalaProblem statement: Process continuity of industrial plants (like a refinery) is subjected to several shutdowns due to voltage sags causing large induction motors to trip, either by undervoltage or by overcurrent relays, sometimes by the mechanical protection. These unplanned shutdowns cost the plant tens of thousands of dollars per shutdown in addition to material damage costs, restart charges and any … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPower Quality Improvement Using DVRC. Benachaiba, B. FerdiVoltage sags and swells in the medium and low voltage distribution grid are considered to be the most frequent type of power quality problems based on recent power quality studies. Their impact on sensitive loads is severe. The impact ranges from load disruptions to substantial economic losses up to millions of dollars. Different solutions have been developed to protect sensitive … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPower Quality Improvement Using a Sliding Mode Control of a Series Active FilterTheerayuth ChatchanayuenyongA sliding mode controller (SMC) for a three-phase series active filter was proposed to compensate voltage unbalances, suppress voltage sags and swells and hence improve the power quality of a three-phase ac system. The voltage unbalance compensation and regulation is only based on the positive sequence component decomposition of the supply voltage that is then adjusted to a rated value … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHarmonics Study and Comparison of Z-source Inverter with Traditional InvertersB. Justus Rabi, R. ArumugamThis paper presents an Impedance Source Inverter for A.C electrical drives. The impedance source inverter employs a unique impedance network cable with inverter main circuit and rectifier. By controlling the shoot-through duty cycle, the z-source inverter system using MOSFETS provide ride-through capability during voltage sags, reduces line harmonics, improves power factor and high reliability, and extends output voltage range. Analysis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Fast Series Active Filter using Sliding Mode Control to Correct and Regulate Unbalance Voltage in Three-Phase SystemTheerayuth ChatchanayuenyongProblem statement: A Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) with fast reference voltage generation to correct and regulate unbalance voltage in three-phase system was proposed. Approach: The compensation algorithm was not based on three-symmetrical component decomposition so the controller can yield a fast response that was essential in such a critical real time control work. The reference voltages were fed to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,221 accessesView PDFCite
