Understanding Power Quality Problems: Voltage Sags and Interruptions

Math Bollen
TLDR
This is the first book to offer in-depth analysis of voltage sags and interruptions and to show how to apply mathematical techniques for practical solutions to these disturbances.
Abstract
"Power quality problems have increasingly become a substantial concern over the last decade, but surprisingly few analytical techniques have been developed to overcome these disturbances in system-equipment interactions. Now in this comprehensive book, power engineers and students can find the theoretical background necessary for understanding how to analyze, predict, and mitigate the two most severe power disturbances: voltage sags and interruptions.This is the first book to offer in-depth analysis of voltage sags and interruptions and to show how to apply mathematical techniques for practical solutions to these disturbances. From UNDERSTANDING AND SOLVING POWER QUALITY PROBLEMS you will gain important insights intoVarious types of power quality phenomena and power quality standardsCurrent methods for power system reliability evaluationOrigins of voltage sags and interruptionsEssential analysis of voltage sags for characterization and prediction of equipment behavior and stochastic predictionMitigation methods against voltage sags and interruptions"Sponsored by:IEEE Power Electronics Society, IEEE Industry Applications Society, IEEE Power Engineering Society.

Ridethrough of wind turbines with doubly-fed induction generator during a voltage dip

TL;DR: In this article, a solution is described that makes it possible for wind turbines using doubly-fed induction generators to stay connected to the grid during grid faults by limiting the high current in the rotor in order to protect the converter and to provide a bypass for this current via a set of resistors that are connected to rotor windings.
