Voltage Sag Disturbance Detection Based on RMS Voltage Method

This paper analyses the different voltage sag phenomenon of the different voltage sag sources and summarizes the characteristics of the different voltage sag sources, including the amplitude of the voltage sag, the swell happening at the same time of the sag, the characteristics of the voltage changes during the sag and the three phases voltage balance or not. Most of the existing voltage sag source recognition methods and their disadvantages and application have been analyzed in this paper. Considering that in actual power quality monitoring network, many monitoring equipments only can provide parts of the voltage sag data, so a simple and practical method is proposed in this paper. Only the RMS voltages are calculated in this method. Based on the different voltage sag amplitudes, the voltage jump happening at the end of the sag(or the voltage changes in trends during the sag), the different deviations of the three-phase voltages and some other characters according to different sources, the characteristic value corresponding can be extracted, and then the classification of voltage sag caused by the shortfaults, transformers energizing and large-capacity induction motor starting can be realized. The correctness of the method is proved by simulations. Keywordsvoltage sag; RMS; recognition; simulation
