Voltage sags are the most widespread quality issues affecting distribution systems. This paper describes in some detail the voltage sag characteristics due to different types and locations of fault in a practical low voltage power distribution system encountered in the UK. The results not only give utility engineers very useful information when identifying parts of the system most likely to pose problems for customer equipments, but also assist the facility personnel to make decisions on purchasing power quality mitigation equipment.

This paper presents a PWM buck AC-AC converter with instantaneous compensation for input voltage sag and surge. The presented converter use commercial IGBT modules and its output voltage is regulated so as to remain constant AC output voltage. The feedforward control technique is also proposed to establish instantaneous duty level change whereby stable output voltage will be retained. This paper show the characteristics and control algorithm of the converter through various PSPICE simulations.

This paper presents a discrete wavelet transform approach for determining the beginning and end times of voltage sags. Firstly, investigations in the use of some typical mother wavelets, namely Daubechies, Symlets, Coiflets and Biorthogonal are carried out and the most appropriate mother wavelet is selected. The proposed technique is based on utilizing the maximum value of Dl (at scale 1) coefficients in multiresolution analysis (MRA) based on the discrete wavelet transform. The results are compared with other methods for determining voltage sag duration, such as the Root Mean Square (RMS) voltage and Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) methods. It is shown that the voltage sag detection technique based on the wavelet transform is a satisfactory and reliable method for detecting voltage sags in power quality disturbance analysis.

Compensating characteristics of a voltage sag/swell compensator utilizing single-phase matrix converter is examined. First, system configuration and operation for both voltage sag and swell are described. Next, in order to suppress pulsations of the source voltage, a countermeasure using low pass filter and all pass filter is introduced. Then, compensating characteristics of the compensator are investigated for R-L load by simulation. Finally, the validity of the simulated results is confirmed by the experimental results.

In this paper, a new single phase voltage sag/swell compensator using direct power conversion is introduced. A new compensator consists of input/output filter, series transformer and direct ac-ac converter, which is a single-phase back-to-back PWM converter without dc-link capacitors. Advantages of the proposed compensator include: simple power circuit by eliminating dc-link electrolytic capacitors and thereby, improved reliability and increased life time of the entire compensator; simple PWM strategy to compensate voltage sag/swell at the same time and reduced switching losses in the ac-ac converter. Further, the proposed scheme is able to adopt simple switch commutation method without requiring complex four-step commutation method commonly required in the direct power conversion. Simulation results are shown to demonstrate the advantages of the new compensator and PWM strategy.

This paper describes the novel control techniques design of VSC(Voltage Sag Corrector) for the purpose of power line quality enhancement. A fast detecting technique of voltage sag is implemented through the detection of instantaneous value on synchronous rotating do-reference frame. The first order digital filter is added in the detection algorithm to protect the insensitive characteristics against the noise. The relationship between the total detection time and cut-off frequency of the filter is described. The size of the capacitor bank used as the energy storage element is designed from the point of view of input/output energy with circuit analysis. Finally, the validity of the proposed scheme is proven through the simulated results.

본 논문은 전기기기에 순간전압저하를 발생 하였을 경우 응동특성에 대한 영향을 계측하였다. 실험 방법은 AVR에서 Sag 발생기인 IPC에 입력한 후, IPC에서 전압의 크기와 시간을 조정하여 실험기기에 순간전압 강하를 발생하였다 실험기기는 PLC, 전자접촉기, 400[W]고압방전램프를 시험하였다. PLC시험에서 무부하와 정격부하에 따라 특성 의 변화가 생겼으며, 정격부하에서 Voltage Sag의 영향을 더 받았다 전자접촉기의 시험은 위상을 $0^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;60^{\circ},\;90^{\circ}$로 변화하여 Voltage Sag 발생시켜 계측하였으며, 위상의 변화에 따라 특성곡선이 변화하였다. 고압방전램프시험은 고압나트륨램프와 수은램프, 메탈헬라이드에 Voltage Sag를 발생시켰다. 방전램프의 시험결과 고압나트륨램프의 특성곡선이 가장 안정적으로 나타났다. 본 실험을 통해 순간전압저하에 대한 저압기기의 특성을 실험적으로 입증하여 전력시스템의 설계에 영향을 미칠 것이라 기대된다.

This paper presents a calculation method of the area of severity for the stochastic assessment of voltage sags. In general, the annual expected numbers of voltage sags at an individual load point can be estimated stochastically. However, in order to assess the system voltage sag performance considering many sensitive load points together, it is necessary to determine and analysis the area of severity for the load points. The area of severity to voltage sags is the network region where the fault occurrences will simultaneously lead to voltage sags at different load points. In this paper, the concept of the voltage sag assessment and the calculation method of the area of severity are addressed. The analysis of the area of severity is performed on the IEEE 30-bus test system by using the proposed method. The method is useful for the stochastic assesment of voltage sags and the establishment of systematic plans for voltage sag mitigation.
