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 variation is reduced by employing a spectral amplitude correction around the fundamental frequency. The eye-brain weighting curve is realised comparing the voltage spectrum with the tabulated normalised IEC flickermeter responses for sinusoidal voltage fluctuations of the IEC standard. The proposed method is tested on both simulated data and field data obtained from three different EAF plants. The comparison with the digital realisation of the IEC flickermeter shows that the method gives satisfactory estimations of both the instantaneous flicker sensation and the short term flicker severity with low computational complexity. The method is especially useful for all other conditions such as disturbances and subsequent system transients where the system frequency deviates without the need for online sampling rate adjustment.

Kalman filtering based approach for light flicker evaluation of power systems Kose, N.; Salor, O.; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2011-01-01) 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 teste...
A novel neutral point potential stabilization technique using the information of output current polarities and voltage vector Yamanaka, K; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Kirino, H; Tanaka, Y; Koga, N; Kume, T (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2002-11-01) This paper proposes a new neutral point potential control technique for the neutral-point-clamped three-level inverter. Utilizing the phase current polarity information, this technique distributes the redundant voltage vectors in a manner to obtain stable neutral point voltage under all operating conditions including the zero-power-factor condition. Detailed analysis and computer simulations show the superiority of the proposed method. The feasibility of the proposed method has been proven via laboratory ex...
A Generalized Scalar PWM Approach With Easy Implementation Features for Three-Phase, Three-Wire Voltage-Source Inverters Hava, Ahmet Masum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-05-01) The generalized scalar pulse width modulation (PWM) approach, which unites the conventional PWM methods and most recently developed reduced common mode voltage PWM methods under one umbrella, is established. Through a detailed example, the procedure to generate the pulse patterns of these PWM methods via the generalized scalar PWM approach is illustrated. With this approach, it becomes an easy task to program the pulse patterns of various high performance PWM methods and benefit from their performance in mo...
A New Approach to Investigation of the Relationship of VLF Signals by Using Longitudinal Analysis Models Guzel, E.; Yaşar, M.; Kılıç, M. B.; Canyılmaz, M. (Hindawi Limited, 2013) Longitudinal analysis models are applied to analyze very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic waves signals. They are useful in realization of nuance of relationship between parameters of concern which change over time. VLF data are so important for the communication and determining the disturbances in the lower ionosphere. In this study, we used a four-day VLF signal data which come from transmitter stations located at two different countries to Elazi. g receiver system. A very important feature of this dat...
