Effect of Harmonic Power Fluctuation on Voltage Flicker

Abstract: Voltage flicker problems have long existed in several of the distribution areas served by the Taiwan Power Company. In the past, those research results indicating that the estimated 10V value based on the conventional method is significantly smaller than the survey value. This paper is used to study the relationship between the voltage flicker problems and harmonic power variation for the power system with electric arc furnaces. This investigation discussed thought the effect of harmonic power fluctuation with flicker estimate value. The method of field measurement, statistics and simulation is used. The survey results demonstrate that 10V estimate must account for the effect of harmonic power variation. Key-Words:- Voltage Flicker, Harmonic, EAF, 10V
