Automatic Detection and Analysis of Voltage Events in Power Systems

This paper presents an automatic system for real-time detection and analysis of voltage events in power systems. The voltage events considered are those that cause a temporary increase or decrease in the rms voltage magnitude over the limits recommended in the international standards. The system proposed uses three Kalman filters to detect when a voltage event begins and to estimate the three-phase voltage supply during the event. The results obtained from real measurements in a low-voltage distribution network show that the system accurately detects and analyzes in real time different types of voltage events in power systems
