This paper present improved Walsh function (IWF) algorithm as an alternative approach for active and reactive power measurement in linear and nonlinear, balanced and unbalanced sinusoidal three phase load system. It takes advantage of Walsh function unified approach and its intrinsic high level accuracy as a result of coefficient characteristics and energy behaviour representation. The developed algorithm was modeled on the Matlab Simulink software; different types of load, linear and nonlinear were also modeled based on practical voltage and current waveforms and tested with the proposed improved Walsh algorithm. The IEEE standard 1459-2000 which is based on fast Fourier transform FFT approach was used as benchmark for the linear load system while a laboratory experiment using Fluke 435 power quality analyzer PQA which complies with IEC/EN61010-1-2001standards was used to validate the improved algorithm for nonlinear load measurement. The results showed that the algorithm has the potential to effectively measure three phase power components under different load conditions.

This paper discusses the definition of active and reactive power in wavelet domain. Different definitions for three-phase power may cause significant changes in the measurement equipment topology. The simple phase shift using the Akagi method between current and voltage for reactive power measurement is discussed. A new power quality analysis technique (pqAT) is proposed.

This paper proposes a control algorithm for a hybrid power electronic AC/DC converter for prosumer applications operating under deep phase current asymmetry. The proposed system allows independent control of active and reactive power for each phase of the power converter without current pulsation on the DC link connected to an energy store. The system and its algorithm are based on a three-phase converter in four-wire topology (AC/DC 3p-4w) with two dual-active bridge (DC/DC) converters, interfaced with a supercapacitor and an energy storage. The control algorithm tests were carried out in a Hardware in the Loop environment. Obtained results indicate that operation with deep unbalances and powers of opposite signs in individual phases leads to current oscillations in the DC link. This phenomenon significantly limits energy storage utilization due to safety and durability reasons. The proposed algorithm significantly reduces the level of pulsation in the DC link which increases safety and reduces strain on lithium-ion storage technology, enabling their application in four-wire converter applications.

This paper proposes the development of a three-phase state estimation algorithm, which ensures complete observability for the electric network and a low investment cost for application in typical electric power distribution systems, which usually exhibit low levels of supervision facilities and measurement redundancy. Using the customers´ energy bills to calculate average demands, a three-phase load flow algorithm is run to generate pseudo-measurements of voltage magnitudes, active and reactive power injections, as well as current injections which are used to ensure the electrical network is full-observable, even with measurements available at only one point, the substation-feeder coupling point. The estimation process begins with a load flow solution for the customers´ average demand and uses an adjustment mechanism to track the real-time operating state to calculate the pseudo-measurements successively. Besides estimating the real-time operation state the proposed methodology also generates nontechnical losses estimation for each operation state. The effectiveness of the state estimation procedure is demonstrated by simulation results obtained for the IEEE 13-bus test network and for a real urban feeder.

To modify the power factor and balance the three-phase currents simultaneously, this paper proposes the instantaneous compensator to calculate the compensation current. The instantaneous compensator utilizes two-dimensional instantaneous space vector and setting the active power as a constant for each cycle which can improve power quality effectively. Moreover, the instantaneous compensator requires an independent power source, whose capacity can be reduce by using a static var compensator (SVC). An SVC does not interfere with the capability of the instantaneous compensator. Field measurement data were analyzed. Simulation results confirmed the feasibility of correcting the power factor and balancing load currents simultaneously using the proposed method.
