Trends in voltage dips and switching transients in future electricity networks
Voltage dips and coupling transients are two important types of disturbances for industrial customers, but also for other customers and for electricity network companies. Much of the knowledge about these has been accumulated during the 1990s and the knowledge has not kept up with all the changes in the electricity network.
Voltage dips and coupling transients are two important disturbance types for industrial customers, but also for other customers and for the electricity network companies. Much of the knowledge about these has been accumulated during the 90s and the knowledge has not kept up with all the changes that have happened and will happen in the electricity network, both on the generation side and on the consumption side.
The project will create a systematic overview of how the various changes in the production and distribution of electricity affect voltage dips and coupling transients, and their consequences. Faults and couplings will be studied in four different example networks: urban medium voltage networks; rural medium voltage networks; metropolitan feeders; regional and non-urban trunk networks. Information will be found in the literature, from stakeholders, and among the knowledge and measurement data available in the project team.
The project will result in further insight into these two important disturbance types, in a better understanding of the needs and application of the regulatory framework, and in a mapping of needs for further research, knowledge gathering and training.
