Optical Current Transformers (OCTs) and Optical Voltage Transformers (OVTs) are an alternative to the conventional transformers for protection and metering purposes with a much smaller footprint and weight. Their advantages were widely discussed in scientific and technical literature and commercial applications based on the well-known Faraday and Pockels effect. However, the literature is still scarce in studies evaluating the use of optical transformers for power quality purposes, an important issue of power system designed to analyze the various phenomena that cause power quality disturbances. In this paper, we constructed a temperature-independent prototype of an optical voltage transformer based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and piezoelectric ceramics (PZT), adequate to be used in field surveys at 13.8 kV distribution lines. The OVT was tested under several disturbances defined in IEEE standards that can occur in the electrical power system, especially short-duration voltage variations such as SAG, SWELL, and INTERRUPTION. The results demonstrated that the proposed OVT presents a dynamic response capable of satisfactorily measuring such disturbances and that it can be used as a power quality monitor for a 13.8 kV distribution system. Test on the proposed system concluded that it was capable to reproduce up to the 41st harmonic without significative distortion and impulsive surges up to 2.5 kHz. As an advantage, when compared with conventional systems to monitor power quality, the prototype can be remote-monitored, and therefore, be installed at strategic locations on distribution lines to be monitored kilometers away, without the need to be electrically powered.

Harmonics in the power system is not new issue. This phenomenon has been introduced by technocrat throughout in the history of electrical power system. Maintaining the power quality in a power system is an essential assignment due to increase in wide variety of non-linear loads. The current drawn by such non linear loads are non-sinusoidal and therefore contains harmonics. Therefore, it becomes necessary to compensate these unwanted harmonics for better performance of the system. In this paper, a review of compensations of harmonics in distribution system has been explained.

Power quality issues have been a source of major concern in recent years due to extensive use of power electronic devices and non-linear loads in electrical power system and consequently sensitive detection and accurate classification of power disturbances have become very much necessary. To monitor electrical power quality disturbances, short time discrete Fourier transform (STFT) is most often used. But for non- stationary signals, the STFT does not track the signal dynamics properly due to the limitations of a fixed window width chosen a priori. This paper presents a new approach for power quality analysis using a modified wavelet transform, known as S–transform and the analysis of several power quality problems using both S–transform as well as discrete wavelet transform validates the superiority of S–transform.


“The increased penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) is inspiring the entire design of conventional electrical power system. “A Microgrid (MG) includes distributed generation, loads, energy storage, and a control system that is competent of working in grid-connected mode and/or islanded mode. Power quality (PQ) problems are one of the major technical challenges in MG power system. To get better PQ of energy supply, it is essential to analyze the harmonics distortion of the system. Moreover, harmonic distortion in a MG networks has significantly reduced PQ, which affects the stability of the system. In order to diminish the harmonics, shunt active power filter (SAPF) has been extensively useful and it is verified to be the best solution to current harmonics. The present paper proposes the mitigation of harmonics of a MG system using shunt active power filter (SAPF). However, the SAPF is employed for reimbursing the harmonics concurrently in the distribution system. The proposed model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink and the result obtained validates the superiority of proposed technique over others in terms of harmonics elimination.”

The level of reliability of a distribution system is very important to ensure the continuity of electricity supply to consumers. This research was conducted to calculate the Saidi reliability index and the Saifi 20 kV distribution system in Pinang PLN in 2017 with the help of the Matlab R2008a application. A GUI is one of the Matlab programs that is widely used in describing information and commands, and its users are possible to form and format themselves according to the needs of the system itself. With the help of this software, it is hoped that it will be easier to calculate the system reliability index, namely the calculation of SAIDI and SAIFI, then the results can be made so that the database is more organized. The calculation results obtained will show the highest and lowest SAIDI and SAIFI values ​​that occur in each of the current months, making it easier to evaluate, analyze and improve the reliability of the electrical power system network in the future, especially in PT.

Characteristics of Power quality has been with us since the inception of the electrical Power system. However, the topic of power quality has attracted particular attention in recent years due to the increase of electronically controlled. Power quality problems caused disruptions to electrical or electronic equipment and the resulting consequences are very expensive. Ripple techniques will be studied in this paper for analysing power quality monitoring. In the case study based on the measurement of the site of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and it was examined using the proposed ripple technique.

ABSTRACTOne of the most critical aspects of a small satellite is the electrical power system (EPS) since the electrical power is necessary for the satellite to operate correctly during its predefined lifetime. The electrical power system consists mainly of solar cells, batteries, voltage converters and protection circuits. The electrical power system is responsible of providing stable power to the rest of the satellite subsystems.In satellite electrical power systems, overcurrent protection is now becoming an important function handled by the power distribution module (PDM). This paper proposes a method to evaluate the suggested protection. With the proposed procedure we should be able to verify that every possible failure does not travel through the EPS and cause a fatal degradation of the electrical power system. This will allow a complete evaluation of functionality of the protection hardware.This paper discusses the design and implementation of the power distribution module (PDM) for the coming generation of small satellites for the Algerian Space Agency (ASAL). The design must provide a reliable protection for the subsystems from the overcurrent associated with a device failure.

Purpose – An electrical power system is expected to deliver undistorted sinusoidal, rated voltage and current continuously to the end-users. The problem of power quality (PQ) occurs when there is (are) deviation(s) in voltage and/or current which cause(s) failure or mal-operation of the customer's equipments. Various methods are suggested to detect and classify single PQ event in a power system, the performance of such methods to classify composite PQ events is limited. The purpose of this paper is the classification of composite PQ events in emerging power systems. Design/methodology/approach – This paper proposes an effective method to classify composite PQ events using Hilbert Huang transform (HHT). The performance of probabilistic neural network (PNN) classifier and support vector machine (SVM) classifier to efficiently classify composite PQ events is compared. Findings – The features extracted from HHT are simple yet effective. SVMs and PNN classifiers are used for PQ classification. It is found that PNN classifier outperforms SVM with the classification accuracy of 100 percent. Originality/value – Different PQ signals used for analysis are generated by simulating a practical distribution system of an Indian academic institution.
