Power quality and electromagnetic compatibility: special report, session 2
The scope of Session 2 (S2) has been defined as follows by the Session Advisory Group and the Technical Committee: Power Quality (PQ), with the more general concept of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and with some related safety problems in electricity distribution systems.
Special focus is put on voltage continuity (supply reliability, problem of outages) and voltage quality (voltage level, flicker, unbalance, harmonics). This session will also look at electromagnetic compatibility (mains frequency to 150 kHz), electromagnetic interferences and electric and magnetic fields issues. Also addressed in this session are electrical safety and immunity concerns (lightning issues, step, touch and transferred voltages).
The aim of this special report is to present a synthesis of the present concerns in PQ&EMC, based on all selected papers of session 2 and related papers from other sessions, (152 papers in total). The report is divided in the following 4 blocks:
Block 1: Electric and Magnetic Fields, EMC, Earthing systems
Block 2: Harmonics
Block 3: Voltage Variation
Block 4: Power Quality Monitoring
Two Round Tables will be organised:
- Power quality and EMC in the Future Grid (CIGRE/CIRED WG C4.24, RT 13)
- Reliability Benchmarking - why we should do it? What should be done in future? (RT 15

On the Properties of the Compound Nodal Admittance Matrix of Polyphase Power Systems
Most techniques for power system analysis model the grid by exact electrical
circuits. For instance, in power flow study, state estimation, and voltage
stability assessment, the use of admittance parameters (i.e., the nodal
admittance matrix) and hybrid parameters is common. Moreover, network reduction
techniques (e.g., Kron reduction) are often applied to decrease the size of
large grid models (i.e., with hundreds or thousands of state variables),
thereby alleviating the computational burden. However, researchers normally
disregard the fact that the applicability of these methods is not generally
guaranteed. In reality, the nodal admittance must satisfy certain properties in
order for hybrid parameters to exist and Kron reduction to be feasible.
Recently, this problem was solved for the particular cases of monophase and
balanced triphase grids. This paper investigates the general case of unbalanced
polyphase grids. Firstly, conditions determining the rank of the so-called
compound nodal admittance matrix and its diagonal subblocks are deduced from
the characteristics of the electrical components and the network graph.
Secondly, the implications of these findings concerning the feasibility of Kron
reduction and the existence of hybrid parameters are discussed. In this regard,
this paper provides a rigorous theoretical foundation for various applications
in power system analysi
Harmonics Cancellation in Distribution Systems by Using a Hybrid Power Filter
This paper presents a proper method to filtering harmonics or cancel out the harmonic in Distribution grid.. The hybrid filter is presented in this paper, the limitation of the active and the passive power filter is overcome by developing the hybrid power filter . In the hybrid power filter the resonant cell is combining with voltage source inverter and this together combination is act as a hybrid power filter. and the rating of voltage source inverter can be increased with increased in dc-link voltage and hence the capability of harmonic mitigation can be increased with dc link voltage . The reactive power control and the improvement in power quality is also presented in this paper. the quality factor is responsible for selecting the frequency of tuning circuit. The MATLAB simulation design give the harmonic reduction in distribution grid or distribution system and in three phase four wire system, this system is most economical
Technical design and commissioning of the KATRIN large-volume air coil system
The KATRIN experiment is a next-generation direct neutrino mass experiment
with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV (90% C.L.) to the effective mass of the electron
neutrino. It measures the tritium -decay spectrum close to its endpoint
with a spectrometer based on the MAC-E filter technique. The -decay
electrons are guided by a magnetic field that operates in the mT range in the
central spectrometer volume; it is fine-tuned by a large-volume air coil system
surrounding the spectrometer vessel. The purpose of the system is to provide
optimal transmission properties for signal electrons and to achieve efficient
magnetic shielding against background. In this paper we describe the technical
design of the air coil system, including its mechanical and electrical
properties. We outline the importance of its versatile operation modes in
background investigation and suppression techniques. We compare magnetic field
measurements in the inner spectrometer volume during system commissioning with
corresponding simulations, which allows to verify the system's functionality in
fine-tuning the magnetic field configuration. This is of major importance for a
successful neutrino mass measurement at KATRIN.Comment: 32 pages, 16 figure
Modeling and Control of Single Phase Grid-Tie Converters
The penetration of renewable energy into the electric utility grid is growing worldwide. At the heart of these renewable sources is the power electronic systems used to convert the renewable source to an output that can be connected to the grid. In recent years, there has been a great deal of work in designing converters for grid-tie applications and is continuing to grow. With recent smart grid activities, it is not likely that this work will cease in the short term. Most of the recent research is in ancillary services that the converter can offer in addition to the normal energy transfer. With more advanced converters, the ability to provide reactive power and harmonic compensation has triggered many researchers to look at more advanced control schemes.
The work in this thesis focuses on modeling and control of single phase grid connected converters with an emphasis on grid interactions and ancillary services. While there has been a great deal of work in the modeling and control area for general converter operation, there has been little analysis in the converter’s response to grid disturbances. There are very few resources that discuss the controller design as it relates to power quality. However, these are issues that must be considered in a real design and what separates the research and commercial level converters.
In addition to control and modeling work, the author suggests two new transformerless converter topologies for photovoltaic applications. In general, these converters can be viewed as a hybrid converter topology comprised of a two level and multi-level structure. Both converters show conducted emissions improvements over the standard commercial transformerless converters while also meeting leakage current requirements
New topology of a hybrid, three-phase, four-wire shunt active power filter
With a view to reducing harmonic content in electrical power systems, and, consequently, improving power quality level, filters and other harmonic compensation devices are widely used. In the category of filters, they can be distinguished into two classes that are related to the operating mode, active or passive, both widely known and applied in electrical power grids and in the most diverse industry sectors. In this sense, taking into account the use of compensating devices in four-wire electrical systems feeding single-phase, non-linear loads, this paper presents a new hybrid arrangement of harmonic compensation that incorporates both active and passive filtering, which performs all functions concerning the harmonic compensation of a four-leg shunt active power filter. In this hybrid arrangement, the harmonic filtering of positive and negative sequence components is performed by a three-leg shunt active power filter, while the filtering of zero-sequence harmonics is attributed to the electromagnetic zero-sequence suppressor. The results, which confirm the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid arrangement, are proven through simulations and experimental tests in different operating scenarios, revealing a substantial improvement in the system’s power factor, as well as a reduction in harmonic distortions.This research was funded by FCT—Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia grant number UIDB/00319/2020
Instantaneous current vectors in polyphase systems: two compensation concepts
6 páginas, 9 figuras, 24 referencias.-- Trabajo presentado al Modern Electric Power Systems (MEPS) International Symposium, celebrado del 20-22 de septiembre 2010, en Wroclaw, Polonia.According to the target of minimal line losses and a power factor equal to one, the present work studies two concepts of instantaneous compensation of nonactive current which are generally applied to polyphase systems. The analysis is defined both on the basis of the instantaneous value concept, for arbitrary voltage and current waveforms, and on the basis of the average value concept, for steady-state and periodic conditions. Results of using these concepts for instantaneous compensation are compared by simulation.Peer reviewe
Power Quality
Electrical power is becoming one of the most dominant factors in our society. Power
generation, transmission, distribution and usage are undergoing signifi cant changes
that will aff ect the electrical quality and performance needs of our 21st century industry.
One major aspect of electrical power is its quality and stability – or so called Power
Quality.
The view on Power Quality did change over the past few years. It seems that Power
Quality is becoming a more important term in the academic world dealing with electrical
power, and it is becoming more visible in all areas of commerce and industry, because
of the ever increasing industry automation using sensitive electrical equipment
on one hand and due to the dramatic change of our global electrical infrastructure on
the other.
For the past century, grid stability was maintained with a limited amount of major
generators that have a large amount of rotational inertia. And the rate of change of
phase angle is slow. Unfortunately, this does not work anymore with renewable energy
sources adding their share to the grid like wind turbines or PV modules. Although the
basic idea to use renewable energies is great and will be our path into the next century,
it comes with a curse for the power grid as power fl ow stability will suff er.
It is not only the source side that is about to change. We have also seen signifi cant
changes on the load side as well. Industry is using machines and electrical products
such as AC drives or PLCs that are sensitive to the slightest change of power quality,
and we at home use more and more electrical products with switching power supplies
or starting to plug in our electric cars to charge batt eries. In addition, many of us
have begun installing our own distributed generation systems on our rooft ops using
the latest solar panels. So we did look for a way to address this severe impact on our
distribution network. To match supply and demand, we are about to create a new, intelligent
and self-healing electric power infrastructure. The Smart Grid. The basic idea
is to maintain the necessary balance between generators and loads on a grid. In other
words, to make sure we have a good grid balance at all times. But the key question that
you should ask yourself is: Does it also improve Power Quality? Probably not!
Further on, the way how Power Quality is measured is going to be changed. Traditionally,
each country had its own Power Quality standards and defi ned its own power
quality instrument requirements. But more and more international harmonization efforts
can be seen. Such as IEC 61000-4-30, which is an excellent standard that ensures
that all compliant power quality instruments, regardless of manufacturer, will produce of measurement instruments so that they can also be used in volume applications and
even directly embedded into sensitive loads. But work still has to be done. We still use
Power Quality standards that have been writt en decades ago and don’t match today’s
technology any more, such as fl icker standards that use parameters that have been defi
ned by the behavior of 60-watt incandescent light bulbs, which are becoming extinct.
Almost all experts are in agreement - although we will see an improvement in metering
and control of the power fl ow, Power Quality will suff er. This book will give an
overview of how power quality might impact our lives today and tomorrow, introduce
new ways to monitor power quality and inform us about interesting possibilities to
mitigate power quality problems.
Regardless of any enhancements of the power grid, “Power Quality is just compatibility”
like my good old friend and teacher Alex McEachern used to say.
Power Quality will always remain an economic compromise between supply and load.
The power available on the grid must be suffi ciently clean for the loads to operate correctly,
and the loads must be suffi ciently strong to tolerate normal disturbances on the
grid
