Improvement of power quality using distributed generation

Novel Segmentation Technique for Measured Three-Phase Voltage Dips

“…Automatic analysis of such data has been common practice in so-called power-quality monitors for the last 30 years or so [1]. The concept of power quality (PQ) [2][3][4][5] is closely related to grid efficiency and electricity production. Most PQ monitors limit themselves, however, to analysis based on the international standard on power-quality monitoring, IEC 61000-4-30, which defines a set of parameters to quantify both voltage quality and current quality.…”

Cost reduction of distribution network protection in presence of distributed generation using optimized fault current limiter allocation

“…The deregulation of electric power market and the global concerns about the environment have diverted the attention of distribution planners towards DG [1,2]. In a deregulated market, the price of energy is determined by economic factors of supply and demand as is the case with most consumer products in a free economy.…”

“…An example of this is the European 2020 targets. Hence there is a need to use an increasing mix of renewable energy in the system [2].…”

Fuel-quality soft sensor using the dynamic superheater model for control strategy improvement of the BioPower 5 CHP plant

“…Grate firing is one of the main technologies that are currently used in bio-mass combustion for heat and power production [10,15]. Though the grate firing of biomass has been tried and tested over many years, there are still some problems requiring further study, for instance, the conversion of biomass in the fuel bed, the mixing of burning substances in the fuel bed and on the freeboard, deposit formation and corrosion and their control, and pollutant formation and control [18].…”
