Power Quality Benchmarking Power Quality Benchmarking 369 overtravel and sympathetic tripping, since this can circumvent mea-sures taken specifically to improve power quality. Circuit breaker with relay. A circuit breaker will schedule an opening event if its currents, adjusted by the associated current transformer ratio, exceed the associated relay pickup setting. If the relay has an instantaneous setting and the current exceeds that level, the event time will be the relay instantaneous pickup time plus the breaker clearing time. Otherwise, the event time will depend on the relay’s time-current characteristic. If the relay is of the definite-time type, this will be a constant relay setting plus breaker clearing time. If the relay is of the inverse type, this will be a current-dependent time plus the breaker clearing time. We use approximate time-current curves for both relays and reclosers. If the fault current is removed before the breaker opens, an internal relay travel state variable is updated. This may produce a sympathetic trip due to relay inertia. If no sympathetic trip is predicted, an event for full reset is then pushed onto the priority queue. The circuit breaker may have one or two reclosure settings. If the breaker has opened, it will schedule a closing operation at the appro-priate time. In case there are subsequent events from other devices, the breaker model must manage an internal state variable of time accu-mulated toward the reclose operation. The time between opening and reclosing is a constant. Once the breaker recloses, it follows the defined fault-clearing behavior. There may be two reclosings, at different time settings, before the breaker locks out and pushes no more events. Fault. A permanent fault will not schedule any events for the priority queue, but will have an associated repair time. Any customers without power at the end of the fault simulation will experience a sustained interruption, of duration equal to the repair time. Atemporary fault will schedule a clearing event whenever its voltage is zero. Whenever the fault is reenergized before clearing, any accu-mulated clearing time is reset to zero. Upon clearing, the fault switch state changes from closed to open, and then the fault simulation must continue to account for subsequent device reclosures. Fuse. A fuse will open when the fault current and time applied pene-trate the minimum melting curve, or when the I2t product reaches the minimum melting I2t. We use minimum melt rather than total clearing time in order to be conservative in studies of fuse saving; this would not be appropriate for device coordination studies. Expulsion fuses are modeled with a spline fit to the manufacturer’s time-current curve, while current-limiting fuses are modeled with I2t.

Power Quality Benchmarking 370 Chapter Eight fault is interrupted before the fuse melts, an internal preheating state variable is updated in case the fault is reapplied. However, we do not specifically track possible fuse damage during the simulation. If the fuse currents will penetrate the time-current curve or mini-mum melting I2t, then a fuse melting time is pushed onto the priority queue. If the fuse currents are too low to melt the fuse, no event is pushed. Once the fuse opens, downstream customers will experience a sustained interruption equal to the fuse repair time. Recloser. The recloser model is very similar to the circuit breaker with relay model previously discussed. The main differences are that the recloser can have up to four trips during the fault sequence, and two different time-current curves can be used. Sectionalizer. A sectionalizer will count the number of times the cur-rent drops to zero and will open after this count reaches a number that can vary from 1 to 3. The device will not open under either load or fault current. 8.8.6 Customer damage costs Customer damage costs are determined by survey, PQ contract amounts, or actual spending on mitigation. In terms of kilowatthours unserved, estimates range from $2/kWh to more than $50/kWh. A typ-ical cost for an average feeder with some industrial and commercial load is $4 to $6/kWh. For approximating purposes, weighting factors can be used to extend these costs to momentary interruptions and rms variations assuming that the event has caused an equivalent amount of unserved energy. Alternatively, one can use a model similar to the example in Sec. 8.5, which basically is based on event count. Average costs per event for a wide range of customer classes are typically stated in the range of $3000 to $10,000. With such high cost values, customer damage costs will drive the planning decisions. However, these costs are very uncertain. Surveys have been relatively consistent, but the costs are seldom “verified” with customer payments to improve reliability or power quality. For exam-ple, aggregating the effect on a large number of residential customers may indicate a significant damage cost, but there is no evidence that residential customers will pay any additional amount for improved power quality, in spite of the surveys. There may be a loss of goodwill, but this is a soft cost. Planning should focus on high-value customers for which the damage costs are more verifiable. Costs for other types of PQ disturbances are less defined.

Power Quality Benchmarking Power Quality Benchmarking 371 motors is not well known, although it likely causes premature failures. Likewise, the costs are not well established for harmonic distortion and transients that do not cause load tripping. The costs may be specified per number of customers (residential, small commercial), by energy served, or by peak demand. If the cost is specified by peak demand, it should be weighted using a load duration curve. For steady-state voltage, harmonic distortion, and transients, the load variation should be included in the electrical simulations, but this is not necessary for sustained interruptions and rms variations. Several examples and algorithm descriptions are provided in the EPRI Power Quality for Distribution Planning report19 showing how the planning method can be used for making decisions about various investments for improving the power quality. We’ve addressed only the tip of the iceberg here but hopefully have provided some inspiration for readers. 8.9 References 1. EPRI TR-106294-V2, An Assessment of Distribution System Power Quality.

Source: Electrical Power Systems Quality Chapter Distributed Generation and Power Quality Many involved in power quality have also become involved in distrib-uted generation (DG) because there is considerable overlap in the two technologies. Therefore, it is very appropriate to include a chapter on this topic. As the name implies, DG uses smaller-sized generators than does the typical central station plant. They are distributed throughout the power system closer to the loads. The term smaller-sized can apply to a wide range of generator sizes. Because this book is primarily concerned with power quality of the primary and secondary distribution system, the discussion of DG will be confined to generator sizes less than 10 MW. Generators larger than this are typically interconnected at trans-mission voltages where the system is designed to accommodate many generators. The normal distribution system delivers electric energy through wires from a single source of power to a multitude of loads. Thus, sev-eral power quality issues arise when there are multiple sources. Will DG improve the power quality or will it degrade the service end users have come to expect? There are arguments supporting each side of this question, and several of the issues that arise are examined here. 9.1 Resurgence of DG For more than 7 decades, the norm for the electric power industry in developed nations has been to generate power in large, centralized gen-erating stations and to distribute the power to end users through trans-formers, transmission lines, and distribution lines.
