This paper presents a discrete wavelet transform approach for detecting voltage sags initialized by fault conditions and starting of larger motors. The proposed technique is based on utilizing the summation value of D1(at scale 1) coefficients in multiresolution analysis(MRA) based on the discrete wavelet transform. In this paper, the proposed technique is tested under various cases of voltage sags. 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.

This paper presents a method for determining the optimal placement of distributed generation units considering voltage sags. In general, the existing methods for distributed generation placement do not consider power quality problems such as voltage sags. In this paper, a novel method based on both genetic algorithm and voltage sag assessment is proposed for determining the placement of distributed generation unit. In the proposed method, the optimal placement is determined to minimize voltage sag effects and system losses.

The main contents of this paper are the PQM system construction case and distribution system harmonic voltage analysis. The PQM system has constructed by KEPCO in order to investigate power quality of distribution power system for new power quality standard of KEPCO. In result, we have confirmed that voltage harmonic measurement value of the high voltage contract customer 8 households is suitable the KEPCO harmonic standard tentative plan. And the voltage harmonic value of distribution line end side is not always more high than source side by harmonic current offset effect. In the future, acquired data by season, region, load from the PQMS will be used on the resonable harmonic standard enactment in KEPCO.

The most common power quality problems in distribution systems are related to unbalanced voltage sags. Voltage sags must be detected quickly and corrected in a minimum amount of time. One of the most widely used methods for sag detection is based on the d-q transformation. This method has the disadvantage of missing the detection of unbalanced faults, because this method uses a voltage sag level signal obtained from the average of 3 phases for sag detection. In this paper, an adaptive filter sag detection method is proposed for Dynamic Voltage Restorers (DVR) under unbalanced fault conditions. The proposed DVR controller is able to detect balanced, unbalanced and single phase voltage sags. A novel reference voltage generation method is also presented. To validate the proposed control methods, a 3-phase DSP controlling a DVR prototype with a power rating of 1.5-kVA has been developed. Finally, experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed control methods.

Recently, the domestic and foreign power trends are the supply of high quality power and environment conservation technology based on the new energies development. So, the dispersed generation systems, such as photovoltaic, fuel cell, and battery are to be introduced in distribution systems. According to the situation change, power of high Quality and reliability are required in distribution systems with dispersed generation. Up to now, the voltage in distribution systems are regulated by ULTC of substation and pole transformer of primary feeders. These days, Step Voltage Regulator(SVR) is getting established at distribution feeders to regulate effectively voltage of primary ffeders that voltage drop exceeds $5\%$. But, because SVR is operated independently with ULTC of substation, SVR can not take play to its full effectivity. Under these circumstances, in order to deliver suitable voltages to as many customers as possible, new optimal voltage regulation algorithms are required in distribution system. So, this paper presents optimal voltage regulation algorithm to regulate voltage effectively for ULTC and SVR in distribution systems with dispersed generation systems.

과거에는 순간전압강하(Sag)나 고조파(Harmonics)와 같은 순간전력품질 문제가 부하에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 최근 컴퓨터와 같은 마이크로 프로세서를 이용하는 민감부하의 사용 증가로 인하여 전력품질에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 이에 따라 현재까지 영구정전(Sustained Interruption)에 초점을 맞추고 일부 순간정전(Momentary Interruption)을 포함하여 진행되어 온 배전계통 신뢰도 연구 분야는 새로운 전환점을 맞이하고 있다. 즉, 전력품질문제로 인하여 많은 민감기기들이 트립(Trip)되어 신뢰도 비용이 발생하기 때문에, 전력품질을 고려하지 않은 신뢰도 비용평가는 그 정확도가 떨어질 수밖에 없는 실정에 있다. 본 논문에서는 배전계통 사고 시 이 사고를 제거하기 위해 사용된 리클로져에 의해 발생하는 순간전압강하를 고려하였다. 기존의 영구정전에 의한 신뢰도 비용과 순간전압강하에 의해 트립되는 기기들의 신뢰도 비용을 포함하는 개선된 배전계통 신뢰도 비용 평가 기법을 제안하였다.

The transformer inrush current can cause a voltage drop by source impedance. This current can impact sensitive loads by the voltage drop. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to limit this inrush current. This study, described in this paper, analyzes the power quality affected by transformer inrush current using the X power system in Korea. The Electromagnetic Transients Program(EMTP) is used to analyze the transient phenomenon. We discuss a method to model the hysteresis curve of the transformer in EMTP. We carried out various simulations to analyze the power quality during transformer energization. The analysis results of voltage drop by the inrush current occurrence when certain requirements are met are presented.

This paper proposes a novel UPQC(unified power quality conditioner) based on H-bridge modules, isolated through single-phase multi-winding transformers. The dynamic performance of proposed system was analyzed by simulation with EMTDC/PSCAD, assuming that the UPQC is connected with the 22.9kV distribution line. The proposed system can be directly connected to the transmission line without series injection transformers. It has flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of H-bridge modules and can compensate reactive power, harmonics, voltage sag and swell, voltage unbalance. The control strategy for the proposing UPQC was derived using the instantaneous power method. The proposing UPQC has the ultimate capability of improving power quality at the point of installation on power distribution systems and can be utilized for the future distribution system.

Recently, due to the increase of power conversion devices and nonlinear loads with the development of information, communication and control technologies, the instantaneous minute interruption factors such as voltage & current harmonics, surge occurring frequency, instantaneous voltage variation, voltage unbalance, flicker etc. have greatly threatened the power quality, and the deterioration of electric power facilities and the functional error of controllers are increasing. As such an instantaneous minute interruption appears to be small and local, accurate evaluation with measurement is difficult and total analysis system is required through a wide range of power quality effect analysis such as the simultaneous measurement on various power supply phenomena and the analysis on the interrelation with system loads. Most of conventional power quality diagnosis equipments have beer developed and applied, which were able to measure the stability rate of frequency, the stability rate of voltage, the electricity-failure duration etc, However, they were insufficient to analyze the system present situation, understand the cause of the failure occurred by the problem of power quality and analyze out the phenomena. Accordingly, this study will address the development of the system for a wide range of power quality diagnosis over the present level, the system for supporting the determination such as the analysis on risk factors, failure mode and impact, the system for harmonic evaluation based on international standards(IEC 61000 Series) and the total power quality diagnosis network & system with the extension and openness as a local and national-scale broadband power quality diagnosis system.
