IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF SINGLE-PHASE VOLTAGE DIPS USING THE METHODOLOGY OF THE SPATIAL VECTOR OF ANGULAR FREQUENCY

Abstract

A new method of identification and classification of voltage dips in a three-phase electric network is presented. The method is based on the representation of voltages of the electrical network by one complex variable - a spatial vector of the angular frequency. The main characteristics of the spatial vector, which are used to identify and classify dips, are the major and minor semi-axes, the angle of rotation of the formed ellipse. For balanced dips, the space vector goes in a circle in the complex plane with a radius equal to the voltage. For unbalanced dips, the spatial vector is an ellipse with parameters that depend on the phase of the voltage drop, the magnitude of the dip, and the phase angle shift.
 This method introduces a new level of accuracy and reliability in the analysis and classification of voltage dips, making it a tool for improving the quality of power supply and increasing the stability of electrical systems. The use of this method can help reduce the impact of unplanned interruptions in the supply of electricity to the enterprise and home, which is becoming a key task in the modern electricity sector.
