Abstract

In the present world with the growing demand of electricity the quality of voltage becoming a vital problem. Voltage swell is one of the short term voltage disturbances that occur frequently in power distribution system. Voltage swell characterization is an important, because power quality analysis, troubleshooting, diagnosis, and mitigation policy could be carried out only after characterizing the voltage swells. The magnitude, duration, and phase-angle jump are the essential characteristics of voltage swell are considered in this work. In this paper, MATLAB/SIMULINK with SimPower System is used to simulate the proposed system to show the comparative performance of significant characteristics of voltage swells under power distribution system fault, energizing a capacitor bank and sudden switching off a heavy linear and nonlinear load

Keywords: Power quality, Voltage swell, Voltage swell characterization, voltage swell magnitude, Phase-angle jump.
