Power Quality Analysis

This paper presents a software design useful for power quality analysis and data management. The software was programmed in LabVIEW and Oracle, running on Windows in a regular PC. LabVIEW acquires data continuously from the lower machine via TCP/IP. Using its database connection toolkit, LabVIEW accesses to Oracle to stores and retrieve the power quality data according to different indicators. A friendly GUI was built for data display and user operation, taking advantage of the powerful data-handling capacity of LabVIEW and its rich controls. Moreover, Excel reports can be exported using report generation toolkit in LabVIEW. The software greatly improves the data analysis and management capacity.

Transmission And Distribution

In a deregulated electric service environment, an effective electric transmission and distribution networks are vital to the competitive environment of reliable electric service. Power quality (PQ) is an item of steadily increasing concern in power transmission and distribution. The traditional approach to overcoming capacity and quality limitations in power transmission and distribution in many cases is the addition of new transmission and/or generating capacity. This, however, may not be practicable or desirable in the real case, for many of reasons. From technical, economical and environmental points of view, there are two important - and most of the time combined - alternatives for building new transmission or distribution networks to enhance the transmission system capacity, and power quality: the Flexible alternating current transmission devices and controllers, and the distributed generation resources near the load centers. The connection of distributed generation to the distribution grid may influence the stability of the power system, i.e. angle, frequency and voltage stability. It might also have an impact on the protection selectivity, and the frequency and voltage control in the system. This paper presents a low cost FACTS based Dynamic Distribution System Compensator (DDSC) scheme for voltage stabilization and power transfer and quality enhancement of the distribution feeders connected to a dispersed wind generator, using MATLAB/ SimPower System simulation tool.

The Impact

In recent years, with the widespread use of non-linear loads power electronic devices associated with the penetration of various renewable energy sources, the distribution system is highly affected by harmonic distortion caused by these sources. Moreover, the inverter-based distributed generation units (DGs) (e.g., photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine) that are integrated into the distribution systems, are considered as significant harmonic sources of severe harmful effects on the system power quality. To solve these issues, this paper proposes a harmonic mitigation method for improving the power quality problems in distribution systems. Specifically, the proposed optimal planning of the single tuned harmonic filters (STFs) in the presence of inverter-based DGs is developed by the recent Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA). The objectives of this planning problem aim to minimize the total harmonic distortion (THD), power loss, filter investment cost, and improvement of voltage profile considering different constraints to meet the IEEE 519 standard. Further, the impact of the inverter-based DGs on the system harmonics is studied. Two cases are considered to find the effect of the DGs harmonic spectrum on the system distortion and filter planning. The proposed method is tested on the IEEE 69-bus distribution system. The effectiveness of the proposed planning model is demonstrated where significant reductions in the harmonic distortion are accomplished.

The Way

The monitoring of power quality is the foundation and prerequisite of its improvement. There are a lot of disadvantages in the conventional method of power quality monitoring, the adoption of the virtual instrument and network technology can overcome these disadvantages very well. Remote power quality monitoring system based on LabVIEW was put forward, as well as the way of the combination of software and hardware and the realization procedure is illustrated in detail in this paper. Then the merits of this way are mentioned, and the additional functions that can be further developed. This paper provides a more convenient way for the realization of remote power quality monitoring
