In electric power systems, any deviation with respect to the theoretical sinusoidal waveform is considered to be a disturbance in the power quality of the electrical grid. The deviation can alter any of the parameters of the waveform: frequency, amplitude, and symmetry among phases. Microgrid, as a part of the electric power system, has to contribute providing an adequate current waveform in grid connected-mode, as well as to guarantee similar voltage features than the standard requirement given for public distribution grids under normal exploitation conditions in islanded mode. Adequate power quality supply is necessary for the correct compatibility between all the devices connected to the same grid. In this paper, the power quality of microgrids is managed using a Model Predictive Control (MPC) methodology which regulates the power converters of the microgrids in order to achieve the requirements. The control algorithm is developed for the following microgrids working modes: grid-connected, islanded, and interconnected. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methodology improves the transient response in comparison with classical methods in all the working modes, minimizing the harmonic content in the current and the voltage even with the presence of non-balanced and non-harmonic-free three-phase voltage and current systems.

В настоящее время на судах и объектах морской индустрии широко внедряется энергосберегающее электрооборудование, что позволяет добиться резкого снижения расхода электроэнергии и массогабаритных показателей оборудования, существенно расширяет функциональные возможности электротехнических комплексов и систем, приводит к улучшению эксплуатационных характеристик. Однако использование новейших энергосберегающих технологий, основанных на нелинейных элементах, и коммутация электрооборудования приводит к ухудшению качества электрической энергии в судовой электроэнергетической системе. В то же время, растет число потребителей, предъявляющих к качеству электроэнергии повышенные требования. В итоге, работа судовых энергокомплексов может отличаться от расчетной, а в ряде случаев становится аварийной. В работе приведены результаты экспериментальных исследований показателей качества электрической энергии в судовой электроэнергетической системе учебного парусного судна «Крузенштерн». Представлены результаты лабораторных исследований на физической модели судовой электростанции с источниками электромагнитных помех, обоснованы организационные и технические решения по снижению уровня электромагнитных помех в судовых электроэнергетических системах. Nowadays, energy-saving electrical equipment is widely introduced on ships and maritime industry facilities. It leads to a decrease in power consumption, weight and dimensions of equipment, significantly expands the functionality of electrical complexes and systems, and provides improvement of operational characteristics. However, the use of the latest energy-saving technologies based on non-linear elements and the switching of electrical equipment leads to a deterioration in the quality of electrical energy in the ship's electric power system. At the same time, the number of consumers with increased requirements for the quality of electricity is growing. As a result, the operation of ship power complexes may differ from the normal one, and in some cases it becomes emergency. The paper presents the results of experimental studies of electric power quality indicators in the ship's electric power system of the sail training ship "Kruzenshtern". The results of laboratory studies on a physical model of a ship power plant with sources of electromagnetic interference are presented, organizational and technical solutions to reduce the level of electromagnetic interference in ship power systems are substantiated.

Применение интеллектуальных и цифровых технологий в системах измерения, передачи и обработки информации, являющихся частью информационно-коммуникационной инфраструктуры электроэнергетической системы (ЭЭС), направлено на повышение эффективности управления ЭЭС. Вместе с тем, при цифровизации ЭЭС отмечен рост уязвимостей к кибератакам. В связи с этим возрастает актуальность обеспечения задач управления в условиях кибератак своевременной, полной и достоверной информацией. Предложен алгоритм обработки синхронизированных векторных измерений на основе вейвлет-анализа и нечеткой логики, повышающий качество информации, используемой в дальнейшем при оценивании состояния ЭЭС. The use of intelligent and digital technologies in systems for measuring, transmitting, and processing information, which are part of the information-communication infrastructure, is aimed at improving the efficiency of EPS management. At the same time, with the EPS digitalization, there has been a rise in vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. In this context, the urgency of providing timely, complete, and reliable data to perform control in the case of cyberattacks is increasing. We propose an algorithm to process synchronized vector measurements based on wavelet analysis and fuzzy logic, which improves the quality of information used in the state estimation of electric power systems.

The term power quality is inescapable when it comes to Electric power system. The main intent of the researchers and different organizations all over the world is to provide the consumers with quality power. Practically, it is difficult to achieve quality power as there are number of issues associated with Electric power system called as power quality problems. Harmonics, transients, use of non linear loads, interruptions etc. are the factors which cause disturbances in the electric power system and thus leads to the deterioration in the quality of power. These disturbances are the major challenges to the power quality and must be analyzed properly before mitigating them. The paper has put emphasis on the major disturbances in the power grids. The paper is also considerate about the causes and effect of these disturbances in the power grids.
