Power quality analysis for renewable power generation in household

Power quality is becoming essential part of Power Industry. The introduction of smarter and more sensitive equipment at both grid and residential level has created performance issues that need investigation. The cost of the power losses is rising due to power quality problems. The other significant factor that is proving vital is the customer dissatisfaction. The introduction of Renewable Energy (RE) into modern grids has also created Power Quality (PQ) problems. A study is required to narrow down the factors that can cause these PQ issues. The power companies are buying electricity back from the consumer produced by these RE sources. The power produced by RE sources coming into the electrical grid needs to be monitored. The research will focus on the factors that impact PQ especially the Total Harmonic Distortion in a electrical grid powered by renewable sources. The factors impacting power quality will be studied in detail by using an simulation approach aided by an experimental set up. The simulation approach will be used to test the hypothesis that total harmonic distortion increases by changing the nature and size of the load in the electrical system. The load type used for the research will be linear and nonlinear loads. The simulation will use single and three phase electrical system. The simulation results will be analysed and discussed. The experimental setup will be used to verify the simulation result. The experiment will be conducted on different set of load to observe the impact on the total harmonic distortion in particular. The experimental result will be collected over period of time enabling the researcher to study in detail the impact of weather, temperature, and inclination of solar panels. These factors will impact the research result. The collected data will be presented for discussion

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference EEDAL 2013 Energy Efficiency in Domestic Appliances and Lighting

This book contains the papers presented at the seventh international conference on Energy Efficiency in Domestic Appliances and Lighting. EEDAL'2013 was organised in Coimbra, Portugal in September 2013. This major international conference, which was previously been staged in Florence 1997, Naples 2000, Turin 2003, London 2006, B2e0r0l9in, Copenhagen 2011 has been very successful in attracting an international community of stakeholders dealing with residential appliances, equipment, metering liagnhdti ng (including manufacturers, retailers, consumers, governments, international organisations aangde ncies, academia and experts) to discuss the progress achieved in technologies, behavioural aspects and poliacineds , the strategies that need to be implemented to further progress this important work. Potential readers who may benefit from this book include researchers, engineers, policymakers, and all those who can influence the design, selection, application, and operation of electrical appliances and lighting.JRC.F.7-Renewables and Energy Efficienc

Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Energy Efficiency in Domestic Appliances and Lighting

At the EEDAL'15 conference 128 papers dealing with energy consumption and energy efficiency improvements for the residential sector have been presented. Papers focused policies and programmes, technologies and consumer behaviour. Special focus was on standards and labels, demand response and smart meters. All the paper s have been peer reviewed by experts in the sector.JRC.F.7-Renewables and Energy Efficienc
