This paper introduces the terminology and various issues related to ‘power quality’. The power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency deviations that result in a failure of end use equipment’s. The main occurrence of voltage sag is always considered as one of the major power quality problems and it become severe to industrial customers. Voltag...

This paper presents the application of dynamic voltage restorers (DVR) on power distribution Systems for mitigation of voltage sags/swells at critical loads. DVR is one of the compensating types of custom power devices. An adequate modeling and simulation of DVR, including controls in MATLAB, show the flexibility and easiness of the MATLAB environment in studying and Understanding such compensa...

Voltage sags in the electric power system are mostly due to faults in the power system. Voltage sag is characterized by its magnitude (the retained voltage), phase-angle jump, unbalance in the sag in the three phases, and duration. Type of transformers in the electrical system is the important parameter influencing the characteristic of sag at the node where sensitive loads are connected. For s...

Voltage sag compensator is very important in power quality. Its performance also depends on the types of sag detection techniques used. Sag detection technique determines the dynamic performance of a voltage-sag compensator. Many techniques have been introduced to measure and to detect voltage sag, such as RMS-Value Evaluation and Peak-Value Evaluation. Unfortunately, most of the techniques req...

This paper presents the design and develops of voltage acceptability curves for LED lamps. It is done with the mathematical representation of DC bus voltage of LED lamps internal ballast circuit during voltage sags. First, experimental analysis was done to determine the effect of voltage sag of LED lamp. From the findings on the variation of DC bus voltage during voltage sag, a mathematical equ...

In this paper, the impacts of installing superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL)in radial and loop power distribution system are evaluated to improve voltage sag in both cases of with and without distributed generations (DG). Among various SFCLs, the hybrid type with a superconducting element in parallel with a current limiting reactor (CLR) is selected. This is more effective than resisto...
