In this study, a Kalman filtering based approach is proposed to measure the light flicker of the electricity transmission systems. Analytical expressions of the instantaneous light flicker sensation are used to obtain a flicker estimation method based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) flickermeter. In the proposed method, the frequency domain components of the voltage waveform are obtained by Kalman filtering and these components are used to obtain the light flicker. The method is tested on both simulated data and field data obtained from three different electrical arc furnace (EAF) plants, where the flicker level is considerably high compared to other types of loads. The comparison of the results with the digital realisation of the IEC flickermeter shows that the method gives satisfactory estimations with low computational complexity. The method is especially useful for conditions such as disturbances and subsequent system transients where the system frequency deviates significantly. Since the frequency decomposition is obtained by using Kalman filtering, no leakage effect of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) method is involved in case of frequency deviations.

New spectral decomposition based approach for flicker evaluation of electric arc furnaces
Koese, N.; Salor, Oe. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2009-04-01)
A spectral decomposition-based approach is proposed to estimate the light flicker caused by electrical arc furnaces (EAFs) where the system frequency deviates significantly due to the EAF operation. Analytical expressions of the instantaneous light flicker sensation are obtained beginning from a voltage waveform and these expressions are used to obtain a flicker estimation method based on the IEC flickermeter. In the proposed method, the leakage effect of the FFT algorithm due to fundamental frequency varia...
Spectral correction-based method for interharmonics analysis of power signals with fundamental frequency deviation
Salor, Oezguel (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-01)
In this paper, a spectral correction-based algorithm for interharmonic computation is proposed for especially highly fluctuating fundamental frequency cases in the power system. It has been observed and reported that fluctuating demands of some loads such as arc furnaces, or disturbances and subsequent system transients make the fundamental frequency of the power system deviate and this causes non-existing interharmonics to appear in the spectrum due to grid-effect when a standard window length is used for ...

Zigzag metallic conductors as frequency selective surfaces
DELİHACIOĞLU, KEMAL; Sabah, Cumali; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; ÜNAL, EMİN (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2013-06-18)
Reflection and transmission properties of a new type of frequency selective surface (FSS) made of zigzag metallic elements placed periodically on a dielectric substrate are investigated theoretically for arbitrary polarisation. The electric field integral equation technique with the subdomain overlapping piecewise sinusoidal basis functions are employed to compute the unknown current coefficients induced on the metallic elements. The zigzag FSS arrays act as a low-pass filter in S-(1-5 GHz), X-(8-12 GHz) an...
