Power quality (PQ) has become a key problem of urban power grid recently. Improving power quality is a technical problem being concerned by both power supply companies and the consumers. Shenzhen power grid, as a typical urban power grid, is exemplified in this paper. Through researches, typical PQ issues of a key region in urban power grid are discussed. Industrial feasibility study is carried...

this paper presents a new control method for a three-phase four-wire unified power quality conditioner (upqc) to deal with the problems of power quality under distortional and unbalanced load conditions. the proposed control approach is the combination of instantaneous power theory and synchronous reference frame (srf) theory which is optimized by using a self-tuning filter (stf) and without us...

Owing to very rapid growth in electronics and technology, it has become very essential to maintain power quality at the consumer end. Since power quality has vast no of assets, mainly important and frequently occurring disturbances are considered in this paper. Power quality is mainly defined by disturbances associated with voltage. However, the voltage disturbances can be classified based on t...

The detection and classification of power quality disturbances in power systems are important tasks in monitoring and protection of power system network. Most of the power system disturbances are non stationary and transitory in nature and new tools are being used nowadays for the analysis of power quality disturbances. This paper presents a wavelet based feature extraction method for the detec...

Wearable and implantable Electrocardiograph (ECG) devices are becoming prevailing tools for continuous real-time personal health monitoring. The ECG signal can be contaminated by various types of noise and artifacts (e.g., powerline interference, baseline wandering) that must be removed or suppressed for accurate ECG signal processing. Limited device size, power consumption and cost are critica...
