Voltage Unbalance Emission Limits For Installations: General Guidelines And System Specific Considerations, Robert Koch, Alexander Baitch, Sarath Perera, Prabodha Paranavithana
Associate Professor Sarath Perera
Guidelines for developing voltage unbalance emission limits for installations connected to EHV, HV, and MV power systems have recently been published as a technical report by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). These guidelines, based on the work of Joint Working Group CIGRE/CIRED C4.103, are intended to provide a common basis for the development of similar guidelines or standards in specific countries. This paper reviews these international guidelines and the background to the development of specific recommendations made in the technical report. It also considers elements of these guidelines that may relate to specific network considerations, and therefore may be of …

Voltage unbalance (VU) emission assessment is an integral part in the VU-management process where loads are allocated a portion of the unbalance absorption capacity of the power system. The International Electrotechnical Commission Report IEC/TR 61000-3-13:2008 prescribes a VU emission allocation methodology establishing the fact that the VU can arise at the point of common connection (PCC) due to upstream network unbalance and load unbalance. Although this is the case for emission allocation, approaches for post connection emission assessment do not exist except for cases where the load is the only contributor to the VU at the PCC. Such assessment methods …
