Statistical process control (SPC) is a well-known method to monitor behavior and control of process parameters through statistical analysis. In power quality (PQ), we can apply this method to PQ parameters such as harmonics, imbalance, and flicker to analyze when values are outside a normal range. However, the normal range for these PQ parameters can vary depending on known conditions relating to time of day, day of the week, or even time of year. To have a tighter set of continuous control during these periods, a dynamic set of limits would be preferred over one static limit to highlight unknown abnormalities. This paper analyzes methods to create dynamic statistical process control limits for PQ data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
