Wind power generation systems influence power quality in a specific way making important the need for detailed and accurate evaluation of disturbances caused by wind generators. Wind power system can cause suband interharmonic components to appear in the spectrum of voltages and currents. The paper shows different aspects of spectrum estimation in power systems, including the doubly fed inducti...

A Power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency that results in a failure or mis-operation of end use Equipments. Utility distribution networks, sensitive industrial loads, and critical commercial operations all suffer from various types of outages and service interruptions which can cost significant financial 1oss per incident based on process...

New types of appliances sometimes bring unexpected power quality problems. On several locations it was reported that energy-saving lamps cause random false tripping of circuit breakers. In all of these cases these lamps had electronic drivers. An investigation of this phenomenon is presented in the paper. Laboratory measurements were done on several types of LED and gas-discharge lamps to obtai...

− In the last years the increased interest about power quality, forced international working groups to define new standards for testing and measurement techniques. In this paper a pc-based power quality instrument is proposed, according to IEC 61000-4-7 and standard IEC 61000-4-30. It is a low-cost and easily reconfigurable instrument able to measure harmonics, interharmonics and amplitude dist...

45 eregulation of the energy market is bringing about a fundamental change in the way power equipment assets have to be operated, maintained and replaced. High power-equipment performance is key to cost-efficient energy trading and to the success of the efforts being made by utilities to satisfy end-user demand for high power quality . Three main trends are shaping power equipment life manageme...
