In power quality monitoring, voltage fluctuation is one of the power quality problems, which cause light flickers. To determine the flicker severity, the flicker meter concept was developed in an IEC 61000-4-15 standard. Generally, voltage fluctuations are described as an amplitude modulation(AM). The flicker meter of IEC 61000-4-15 as an international standard for flicker measurement recommends square demodulation method to detect flicker signals from voltage fluctuation signals. This paper suggests a new effective method using filter bank to detect and estimate flicker signals, which do not need square demodulation. For the accurate detection of flicker signals, the filter bank is designed with a full consideration of the spectrum characteristics of voltage fluctuation signals described as AM. The frequency and magnitude of the detected flicker signals are estimated using recursive method. Computer simulations were performed on synthesized signals to prove validity of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 직렬인버터를 이용한 2MVA SSFG(Sag Swell Flicker Generator)를 제안하였으며, 제안된 SSFG는 직렬인버터, DC 커패시터, 정류기, 클램프회로 등으로 구성되어 있다. SSFG는 선로에 순간전압강하/상승(sag/swell), 과전압/저전압(over/under voltage), 플리커(Flicker)등과 같은 전형적인 외란을 발생할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 인버터의 제어를 통해 상 뒤틀림(phase jump)도 구현 가능하다. 본 논문에서 제안된 2MVA SSFG의 효과적인 제어를 위해 세 가지 형태의 제어방식을 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교${\cdot}$검토하였으며, 이 중 가장 효과적인 제어방식을 2MVA SSFG에 적용하여 순간전압강하, 순간전압상승, 플리커 등과 같은 외란발생 시험을 수행하였다.

This paper studies flicker evaluation considering power quality disturbance. A flicker problem with light device irritates human's eyes. Also, the flicker problem has an influence on adverse effect such as rolling device and rotating device. However, a study of flicker evaluation is not complete. A flicker is measured and evaluated at monitoring point. But we consider power quality disturbances such as voltage sag and transient that cause fault and inverter/breaker switching. Power quality disturbances affects flicker evaluation. A flicker evaluation index increases. Therefore, we consider power quality disturbances. We detect voltage sag and transient using wavelet and evaluate flicker without flicker index including power quality disturbances.

Nowadays there are many kinds of large scale loads and they make the power quality deteriorated. As the uses of nonlinear loads increase, there are the influences on the other kinds of loads (mainly light loads) in the same distribution system. Especially the voltage variation by the loads which draw the large and instantaneous currents can cause the appreciable light flicker. This is called the voltage flicker or, briefly, the flicker. This paper deals with the digital and time domain algorithm of measuring flicker based on IEC 61000-4-15 and the real time measurement of flicker through the proposed power quality monitoring system.

Voltage variation caused by large loads such as arc furnace and large motors, which use the large and instantaneous currents, can cause the voltage flicker. The flicker irritates the human's eyes and also has an adverse effect on protection device, rotating machine and electronic device etc, therefore the flicker needs to be managed effectively. Recently, the Korea power quality standard has been established on the IEC standards. This paper presents the flicker management standard for distribution power system and suggests the flicker transfer coefficients for Korea power system based on the IEC 61000-3-7.

This paper studies a more exact flicker evaluation method by detecting power quality disturbances and excluding the effects of power quality disturbances. Up to the present, power quality disturbances affect flicker evaluation index because power quality problems do not have been considered. However, flick index should represent only flicker without power quality disturbances. Thus, in this paper, we present the improved flicker evaluation method which removing the effects of power quality disturbances such as voltage sag and transient caused by fault and inverter/breaker switching. We detect voltage sag and transient using wavelet transform and remove the effects of power quality disturbances from flicker index.

Flicker, which is also known as voltage fluctuation, is an electromagnetic phenomenon generated by large scale nonlinear loads, such as arc furnaces and welding machines. Since a severe and continuous flicker can cause to some damages to electrically sensitive loads as well as human's visual irritations, it needs to be appropriately managed by being accurately measured, quantified and assessed. In Korea, an equivalent 10-Hz flicker index, shortly ${\Delta}V10$, is used to determine the permission limit of flicker. This paper presents an efficient calculation of the flicker index by using a half-cycle sliding window and a recursive method, showing a concrete calculating procedure of ${\Delta}V10$ from the viewpoint of signal processing.

IEC 61000-3-7 provides guidance for limiting flicker and enabling the connection of fluctuating load installations, that is, producing flicker in MV, HV and EHV power systems. In Korea, the flicker have been restricted by Japanese standard of ${\Delta}V_{10}$ method. ${\Delta}V_{10}$ was developed only for arc furnaces in 1960's. And now it is revealed that it is not suitable for application to other fluctuating load installations through many researches. $P_{st}$ which is a flicker index used in IEC 61000-3-7, indicates visual inconvenience due to voltage fluctuation across large range of frequency and can be applied to fluctuating load installations as well as arc furnaces. In this paper, we introduce how to calculate and assess flicker emission level for the individual fluctuating load installations connected in EHV system and how to manage the emission levels in the power system according to IEC 61000-3-7.
