Electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. It is highly time varying and nonlinear. Its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. On the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in EAF. To this end Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) techn...

The paper offers a rationale for avoiding attempts to characterize the surge environment in low-voltage end-user power systems by a single number – the "energy in the surge" – derived from a simple voltage measurement. Numerical examples illustrate the fallacy of this concept. Examples are given of equipment for which a failure can be caused by a surge voltage, but with or without relationship ...

In the harmonic active power measurement, the highest uncertainties are generally introduced by the current and voltage transducers. In a previous paper, the authors showed that the current transformer (CT) can introduce significant errors in such measurement, especially if the phase shift between voltage and current is close to ±90 . In such condition the errors on harmonic power measurement a...

This paper proposes a bias detection method in the voltage measurement of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells to identify faulty sensor(s). The proposed is based on Bayesian probabilistic approach that detects possible any cell real-time. A hypothesis bank constructed for magnitudes each cell. Subsequently, fault algorithm computes probability associated with all hypotheses. Once certain converg...

For evaluating quality of electrical insulation, it is necessary to measure the property of insulators. Dielectric constant and loss tangent (tans) are two important parameters for determining the property of insulator. The measurement of above parameters is normally based on the time- domain and frequency-domain, which is costly and time consuming. In this study a multiple-frequency binary se...

This paper introduces an optical measurement system for shock wave characteristics. The system works by mountinga metal plate attached to spring mounts against the shock wavefront. This set is sealed and can plot the shock wave pressure diagram by measuring plate's displacement, radiation and changing the reflection of light during shock wave conflict, and converting these optical data to volta...
