5130: Method to Discriminate Between the Contributions of the Customer and the Power System to the Harmonic Disturbance

The objective of this project was to investigate methods of discriminating between contributions of the customer and contributions of the power system to harmonic disturbances. The project developed a harmonics measuring instrument, used it to gather real-world harmonics data, implemented several different proposed algorithms for determining harmonic direction, and tested those algorithms against real-world data.

5143B-01: Customer Voltage Sag Power Conditioning

ABSTRACT: Power conditioning equipment can be applied at the individual loads that are sensitive to voltage sags and/or momentary interruptions. The power conditioning requirements depend on the types of voltage sags that can be expected and the possible durations of momentary interruptions. Utility mitigation techniques include power system design and various fault reduction methods. Customer options include constant voltage transformers, coil-lock devices, uninterruptible power supplies, and m

5118: Defining Grades of Power Quality

This report provides a framework for defining various grades of power quality. It proposes measurable, quantifiable grades. Because grades are a short-hand method of communicating, they require a general consensus among all power quality stakeholders: utilities, power quality specialists and manufacturers, and end-users. To assist with this consensus, this report includes a detailed survey of world-wide power quality stakeholders.

5143B-14: Capacitor Bank Switching Transients

ABSTRACT: Utility capacitor banks are a key component for efficient distribution system design. Design considerations often include traditional power frequency issues such as voltage support, power factor correction, and released system capacity. However, future designs will also include power quality as a consideration as customer facilities continue the transition towards sensitive power electronic-based systems. The increasing dependence on sophisticated electronic controls and automated manu

5143B-09: Introduction to Power Factor Correction

ABSTRACT: As electrical systems become more heavily loaded, power capacitor banks become essential to the reliable operation of the system. Capacitor banks improve voltage control, reduce current flow, increase system capacity, and reduce system losses by reducing reactive power flow. Generally for industrial customers, the application of power factor correction capacitor banks is motivated by the desire to save money by reducing their demand charges and power factor penalties. The application o
