A Study Of Continuous Pq Disturbance Levels In Mv/Lv Distribution Systems, Victor J. Gosbell, D A. Robinson Jan 2003

A Study Of Continuous Pq Disturbance Levels In Mv/Lv Distribution Systems, Victor J. Gosbell, D A. Robinson

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

Distribution Network Service Providers need to be aware of the general variation of PQ disturbances across their network, from the sites as diverse as the MV bus bar of a zone substation, the end of a MV feeder, and at the near and far ends of LV mains. This paper develops an understanding of PQ variations across such a system from survey results correlated with approximate analysis used to assign a PQ disturbance ranking to each site. The work will concentrate on continuous PQ disturbances, defined as those due to load current effects, for example voltage deviations, unbalance, fluctuations and …


Allocating Harmonic Emission To Mv Customers In Long Feeder Systems, D A. Robinson, Victor J. Gosbell Jan 2003

Allocating Harmonic Emission To Mv Customers In Long Feeder Systems, D A. Robinson, Victor J. Gosbell

Previous work has attempted to find satisfactory methods for the allocation of harmonic current emission MV subsystems containing long feeders. It has been proposed that best use of the network's harmonic absorption capacity is made if the allocated current varies with the inverse square root of the harmonic impedance at the point of connection. It has been shown that an exact solution following this principle requires an impracticably large amount of data. Here it is assumed that each feeder supplied from a given substation has its load distributed uniformly and continuously along it, giving equations requiring only a modest amount …
