Design of PFC devices

• influence of impedance change– compensator impedance varies with the number of used

compensation stages (crossing of resonance points)– network impedance change has large influence on

frequency response– load impedance has minor influence on frequency

response• detuned filter

– series connection of inductor and capacitor– resonance frequency is below the characteristic harmonic

(141 Hz, 225 Hz)– good response under different operating conditions

Flicker – basic terms

• Voltage fluctuation• What is flicker?• Flicker frequency• Causes of flicker• Flicker evaluation• Flicker meter• Compatibility and planning levels

Power Quality, Ljubljana, 2013/14 34

Voltage fluctuation

• voltage fluctuation – a series of voltage changes or a cyclic variation of the voltage envelope

• voltage fluctuations (rms value) can cause perceptible (low frequency) light flicker depending on the magnitude and frequency of the variation

Power Quality, Ljubljana, 2013/14 35

What is flicker?

• flicker – impression of unsteadiness of visual sensation induced by a light stimulus whose luminance or spectral distribution fluctuates with time

• the range of modulation frequency that causes noticeable flicker is in the 0.5-25 Hz band, voltage variations are less than 10 %

• the most annoying flicker occurs at the voltage fluctuation with the frequency 8.8 Hz.

• flicker represents one of the largest problems related to power quality in the power system of Slovenia

Flicker evaluation

• flicker meter– IEC 61000-4-15: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) -

Part 4: Testing and measurements techniques - Section 15: Flickermeter - Functional and design specifications

– flicker severity – intensity of flicker annoyance defined by the UIE-IEC flicker measuring method and evaluated by short and long term severity

Power Quality, Ljubljana, 2013/14 45

16

Flicker evaluation

• flicker meter– short term severity Pst – measured over a period of 10

minutes– long term severity Plt – calculated from a sequence of

12 Pst values over a two hour interval, according to the following expression:

Scheme of a flicker meter

• Block 1 – Input voltage adaptor and calibration checking circuit– signal generator for calibration and checking– voltage adapting circuit that scales the input signal to a

reference per-unit level• Block 2 – Square law demodulator

– the input to the flicker meter is the relative voltage variation– the modulated wave must be extracted from carrier (50 or 69

Hz)– quadratic demodulator simulates the behavior of a lamp

Power Quality, Ljubljana, 2013/14 49

Scheme of a flickermeter

• Block 3 and 4 – Weighting filters, squaring and smoothing– block 3 is composed of a cascade of two filters and a measuring

range selector– first filter eliminates the dc and double mains frequency ripple

components of the demodulator– second filter is weighting filter block that simulates the

frequency response of a coiled filament gas-filled lamp (60 W, 230 V) combined with a human visual system

– block 4 is composed of a squaring multiplier and a first order low-pass filter

– the human flicker sensation via lamp, eye and brain is simulated by the combined non-linear response of blocks 2, 3 and 4

Power Quality, Ljubljana, 2013/14 50

Scheme of a flickermeter

• Block 5 – On-line statistical analysis– the statistical classifier models human irritability in the presence

of flicker stimulation– it provides the statistical information required to calculate short-

term flicker severity Pst (observation period is 10 minutes)

– smoothed percentil values– i.e. P0.1 – the level exceeded by only 0.1 % of the observation

Flicker value

• required magnitude of voltage fluctuation for sinusoidal and rectangular modulation to get the flicker vale P = 1

• the response function is based on perceptibility threshold found at each frequency by 50 % of the persons tested

Power Quality, Ljubljana, 2013/14 52

Flicker value

• multiple fluctuating loads may be impacting the same network

• aggregate Pst value calculation from N loads

– m = 4 coordinated loads to avoid coincident fluctuations– m = 3 likelihood of coincident fluctuations is small– m = 2 likelihood of coincident stochastic noise is likely– m = 1 likelihood of coincident fluctuations is small

Flicker spreading

• flicker spreading through transformers– in a radial direction from the disturbing load towards

lower voltage levels (first approximation is value 1)– transfer coefficient of flicker from EHV to HV level is

approximately 0.8– transfer coefficient of flicker from HV to MV level is

approximately 0.9 (worst case)– transfer coefficient of flicker from MV to LV level is

approximately 1

Flicker mitigation

• system enforcement – increased short-circuit power• electrical separation of disturbing loads – disconnected

substation busbars• compensation measures

– series reactor– Static Var Compensator – SVC– Static Compensator - StatCom

• elimination of flicker sources – power reduction of disturbing loads (if possible)

• lighting technology– fluorescent lamps are considered to be less sensitive to voltage

flicker than incandescent lamps– ban of incandescent lamps due to energy savings reasons

Power Quality, Ljubljana, 2013/14 92

System enforcement

• increased short-circuit power will reduce flicker level– new parallel

lines– additional

transformers– connection to

the higher voltage level

line disconnection
