IEEE TRANSACTION ON POWER DELIVERY, VOL 16, NO. 4, OCTOBER 2001
THIS PAPER ENDEAVORS TO PRESENT A COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY OF THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF VOLTAGE UNBALANCE AND TO DISCUSS RELATED STANDARDS, DEFINITIONS AND MITIGATION TECHNIQUES.........
Several causes of voltage unbalance on the power system and in industrial facilities are presented as well as the resulting adverse effexcts on the system and on equipment such as inductive motors and power electronic converters and drives. Standards addressing voltage unbalance are discussed and clarified, and several mitigration techniques are suggested to correct voltage unbalance problems. This paper makes apparent the importance of identifying potential unbalance problems for the benefit of both the utility and customer.
Biography:
Curtis received his BSEE Degree in Power Systems and Instrumentation, Oregan State University, 1978.
Curtis began his career as a construction engineer estimater in 1978. He spent 15 years learning the electric utility business from home services to high voltage transmission lines. Over the next 15 years, he helped develop Cathodic protection research utilizing cutting edge technology to prtotect steel from corrosion inside concrete bridges. He spent 12 years as a mentor training engineers and specialists in power quality and distribution planning for CPS Energy, the electric utility in San Antonio. He retired in 2020.
