Distributed Energy Storage Devices in Smart Grids
Current practices of power quality mitigation in the industry are characterized by sub-optimal investment decisions where over compensation is often the norm such causing huge wastage in financial resources. Providing power quality management services to industrial customers in …
The power grid constitutes one of the most critical infrastructures that have significant interdependencies with various other infrastructures such as communication, transportation, water, emergency, and health-care delivery systems. A disruption in the operation of the power gr…
Harmonics are always present in electrical power systems. Harmonic distortion is harmless as long as its level is within the limit. However, with the recent rapid advancement of power electronics, i.e. non linear loads, the use of the variable speed drives are increasing day by …
This dissertation proposes a time-frequency distribution (TFD) based new method to redefine the power quality (PQ) indices for the assessment of PQ disturbances typically present in electric power systems. The redefined PQ indices are applied to various types of synthetic and re…
