Disturbing loads identification in power systems: a single-point time-domain method based on IEEE 1459-2000

2009

This paper presents a single-point method for the identification of prevailing disturbing loads in power systems for both single-phase and three-phase applications downstream or upstream from the metering section. It is based on the simultaneous measurement of three nonactive power quantities, which are based on the IEEE Std. 1459-2000 approach. The proposed method is only based on the separation of the fundamental components from the harmonic content of voltage and current; thus, it does not require any spectral analysis of the voltages and current. In this paper, the formulation of the proposed method and its time-domain implementation are described; moreover, some simulation results are …

Traceability of static reactive energy meters in the presence of harmonics: theoretical considerations and a DAQ-based reference meter

2013

This paper deals with some problems related to the measurements traceability with static meters for reactive energy. These problems arise when the meters operate in the presence of harmonics, which can negatively affect their performances, depending on implemented metric. The paper analyzes the problem in the light of both in-force and draft standards, from the viewpoint of the performances of both commercial meters and reference standard instruments. The analysis is supported by some experimental tests, which are carried out by means of a reference meter, based on data acquisition boards, which can be used in both sinusoidal and distorted conditions.
