Understanding Power Quality Problems. Voltage Sags and Interruptions. IEEE

Press Series on Power Engineering

Description: Electrical Engineering / Power Understanding Power Quality Problems Voltage Sags and Interruptions Power
quality problems have become an increasing concern over the last decade, but surprisingly few analytical
techniques have been developed to overcome these disturbances in system–equipment interactions. Now in
this comprehensive book, power engineers and students can find the theoretical background necessary for
understanding how to analyze, predict, and mitigate the two most severe disturbances: voltage sags and
interruptions. This is the first book to offer an in–depth analysis of voltage sags and interruptions, and to
show how to apply mathematical techniques for practical solutions to these disturbances. From
Understanding Power Quality Problems you will gain important insights into:
- Various types of power quality phenomena and power quality standards
- Current methods for power system reliability evaluation
- Origins of voltage sags and interruptions
- Essential analysis of voltage sags for characterization and prediction of equipment behavior and stochastic
prediction
- Mitigation methods against voltage sags and interruptions
