Primary And Secondary Indices For Power Quality (Pq) Survey Reporting, V. Gosbell, S. Perera, Robert Barr, Alex Baitch Nov 2012

Primary And Secondary Indices For Power Quality (Pq) Survey Reporting, V. Gosbell, S. Perera, Robert Barr, Alex Baitch

Routine monitoring involves many PQ monitors at fixed sites with readings able to be interrogated remotely and downloaded to a central database. The amount of data for one year is large, and innovative methods are needed to ensure that it can give useful insights. Primary indices are proposed to show whether a site is acceptable to specified standards and are mainly based on 95% values. Secondary indices are proposed to give additional insights. For variations, indices are proposed to give a measure of the impact on customer equipment beyond that incorporated in standards. Sag secondary indices are defined to give …

Harmonics And Flicker Levels At A Sub-Transmission Substation: A Measurement Experience, D Robinson, Victor Gosbell, Sarath Perera, N Browne Nov 2012

Harmonics And Flicker Levels At A Sub-Transmission Substation: A Measurement Experience, D Robinson, Victor Gosbell, Sarath Perera, N Browne

Associate Professor Sarath Perera

Proactive monitoring of power quality disturbance levels by electricity utilities is vital to allow cost-effective mitigation when disturbances are perceived to be approaching planning levels and also to protect the security of customer installations. Ensuring that disturbance levels are within limits at the HV and EHV points of supply of the network is essential if satisfactory levels downstream are to be maintained. This paper presents discussion on a power quality monitoring campaign performed at the sub-transmission point of supply of a distribution network with the objective of benchmarking background disturbance levels prior to modifications to the substation and to ensure …
