Railway industry is experiencing a strong need of renewal and smart technology. Hence, advanced approaches are needed to improve efficiency and sustainability of railway operations. In urban contexts, the public railway sector is object of an inevitable process of revamping, which involves expectations of end-users, railway operators, local supply distributors or local authorities. This paper examines an urban railway power system, where a smart scenario is envisaged. Particularly, an Italian AC/DC railway power infrastructure is considered, and an energy efficiency strategy is assumed. Aim of the paper is to evaluate the voltage quality in the supplying distribution network for any operating conditions of the railway system. Also, the energy efficiency strategy is arranged to improve voltage quality. More specifically, the strategy exploits electrical energy storage systems recharged by regenerative braking of rolling stocks in order to increase efficiency of the whole system. Also, the storage system allows shaving the peak load demand aimed at improving the voltage quality. Numerical simulations are carried out, they provide power quality analysis by examining nodal voltages as a function of the efficiency measure. The behavior of the railway power system has been analyzed under different operating conditions.

The reliability of the electrical and cooling systems is of utmost importance for the uninterrupted operation of the data center information technology (IT) load. The electrical distribution of the data center includes many subsystems starting with the utility and building transformers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), power distribution units (PDUs), and power supplies ultimately powering the fans and the internal components of IT equipment. The various converters in data centers emit switching frequency residue due to PWM (pulse width modulation) techniques. The switching frequency range falls within the supraharmonic range, i.e., 2 to 150 kHz. This paper aims to show, with measurements, the different types of supraharmonic emissions measured in the data center, and the difference between their maximum and average magnitudes. The paper shows a method to identify the equipment emitting supraharmonic emission and possible disturbances caused by it. The paper traces the propagation of supraharmonic emission from the source through the transformer to the grid. Lastly, a comparison of measurements is made with the compatibility levels given by standard IEC 61000-2-2.

The increasing penetration of distributed generation in microgrids and the connection of different types of electronic loads cause significant levels of supraharmonic emission, especially in islanded microgrids. In this paper loads with different circuit topologies are connected to a laboratory microgrid, and supraharmonic voltages and currents are analyzed in both interconnected and islanded mode. Different indexes were applied to evaluate the supraharmonic emissions in specific frequency bands. Additional combinations of loads are analyzed for the islanded microgrid with regard to different power contributions from the storage and the PV system are assessed to identify the impact of those elements on supraharmonic emission. Finally, measurements of supraharmonic impedance characteristics were performed to find possible causes of the supraharmonic levels, e.g. resonances.

This paper aims at investigating the impact of the increasing demand for electricity on the power quality of the transmission networks. In particular, investigations on the transmission network structure as a source of voltage unbalance are made by performing numerical simulations. All the simulations are carried out by means of the MCA method, and by means of a novel three-phase power flow algorithm named as PFPD_3P. Moreover, proposals and discussions on possible power quality mitigation strategies on the transmission networks are presented (i.e., synchronous compensators installations and/or network reinforcements).

An unexpected challenge facing network operators due to high penetration levels of small-scale solar photovoltaic occurs when diesel backup generators are used to maintain supply to small network islands during maintenance. Most grid-connected small-scale solar inverters in Australia have no means of grid control and it is uneconomical to individually isolate each device within premises. Taking advantage of out of frequency protection settings of the inverters to disable output of distributed generation is one potential mechanism Network Service Providers are considering when operating the diesel generator. This is achieved by operating the diesel generation at a frequency above or below the inverter out of frequency settings. This paper investigates the potential impact of this operation on other connected loads, specifically 44 domestic appliances. The impact on electrical parameters RMS current, real and reactive power, displacement power factor, and current total harmonic distortion, as well as relevant actuation and operation are monitored for operating frequencies selected by the Network Service Providers to ensure solar inverters will either disconnect from or will not connect to the network, and for frequency variations expected on the modern network. The resulting parameters for each appliance are reported with only minor maloperation found for one of the appliances during testing.

This document aims to establish an alternative physical formulation for the harmonic power flow in electrical systems provided by Geometric Algebra (GA) and the Poynting Vector (PV) and Poynting Theorem (PT). Given the traditional definition of PV (Abraham approach) as the vector product of the electric field and magnetic field, we exploit the property of the vector product as a dual form of the much more powerful wedge product operator from exterior algebra. Using concepts of vector spaces, we develop a completely GA-based approach founded on top of the isomorphism among periodic time-domain signals and Euclidean spaces. Our investigations shed more light on the long-running discussion of electric power flow in non-sinusoidal and non-linear electrical power systems.

IEC SC77A WG8 discusses a revision of compatibility level for harmonics in industrial networks. Following the assumption that these levels are likely to be adopted for public low voltage networks, some concerns about the possible effects of increased compatibility levels on electrical equipment used in public low voltage networks are expressed by experts. This paper summarizes the results of an initial study on the immunity of mass-market electrical appliances to harmonic distortion based on existing and expected compatibility levels. It intends to provide input for the ongoing discussion in IEC SC77A WG8 about appropriate compatibility levels acceptable for all stakeholders.

An evaluation of classical one- and two-terminal fault location methods based on traveling waves theory is presented in this paper. This evaluation is carried out considering the Madeira River HVDC system modeled in ATP/ATPDraw software, which is composed by a transmission line modeled considering the frequency dependence of the line parameters. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the methods, different fault scenarios are evaluated, being generated by varying the fault type, resistance and distance, totaling 1764 different cases. From the obtained results, the influence of distance and resistance of fault on the methods efficiency is evaluated. Moreover, the main sources of localization errors for each method are presented, highlighting the practical aspects and the main challenges in applying the methods in real systems.

In this paper, medium voltage data from four locations are analyzed for rapid voltage changes (RVCs). The definition of an RVC event given in IEC 61000-4-30 is altered to investigate how the results of an analysis changes. The alterations made to the RVC definition are the RVC threshold and the number of half-cycles required for stability. It is shown that a certain change in the definition will not necessarily affect the results in the same way for data obtained at different locations. One important conclusion is that changing the definition of an RVC can lead to an initial steady-state not being found within a measurement, thus giving zero RVCs in the results. It is therefore of great importance to take this into consideration so as not to incorrectly assume that the alteration made to the definition makes the data appear more stable to the detection algorithm. The motivation for this work is to show that an RVC event is not a black-and-white concept but is highly influenced by revisions to its formal definition.

The emergence of large Electric Vehicle (EV) charging facilities in the United States (U.S.) and a lack of knowledge about the Power Quality (PQ) impact of such facilities on the grid has led to fears of increased Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and harmonic compliance issues. The goal of the research presented in this paper is to demonstrate tools and techniques that can be utilized by utilities to predict this PQ impact. This can help utilities better plan the integration of such facilities and maintain continued grid and load compatibility. In this paper, generic EMTP simulation models of an EV charging facility are first developed and then compared against actual PQ measurements made at EV charging facilities. The simulations show that large EV charging facilities do pose a risk of harmonic incompliance to the power system, and under certain conditions, distortion between 2 and 150 kHz can also pose a risk. Finally, the paper closes with a discussion of the implications of the findings for utilities and the importance of system strength to determine the appropriate feeder for EV charging facility integration.
