Long-term monitoring of flicker and some other parameters of voltage quality
In 1997 cooperation began between the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the power company CEZ on a joint project that involved monitoring selected voltage quality parameters. Over the course of several years measurements were carried out at 59 points of the distribution system at a low voltage (LV) level and their power supply nodes at medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) levels, which constituted more than 100 measured points. The measurements continued until 2012 (with a one-year break in 2009) and with a total scope of five cycles of three-year measurements. The last phase of the measurements was focused, inter alia, on the evaluation of 15th and 21st voltage harmonics. From 2013, the cooperation focused again on monitoring flicker in localities with the occurrence of elevated levels of this voltage quality parameter. At these sites, the monitoring of flicker was carried out for two weeks in spring and autumn for a period of three years. The basis for evaluating the quality parameters is the standard EN 50160.
Evaluation of long-term voltage swells monitoring in the distribution system
The paper summarizes the results of long-term voltage swell monitoring performed by the utility E.ON Czech Republic. The results of monitoring provide information about the number and distribution of voltage swells in all levels of the distribution system. The paper analyses in detail cases with extreme number or duration of recorded swells to find the pattern of swell occurrence. On its basis the causes of these events or the potential problems were identified.
Rotational Analysis of the CrO Bands
The (0, 1), (0, 0) and (1, 0) bands of the CrO, which appear in the red and yellow region, are analysed rotationally, and we have been able to show that these bands owe to the transition 5 Π- 5 Π. We have shown the theoretical formulae for the quintet state, which can be applied in the case of nearly (a), and obtained the molecular constants as follows,
