Determination of flicker source at the point of common coupling using flicker energy

Abstract EN

In this paper a new method for determination of flicker source in power system is proposed.

This method is based on the energy of flicker signal ; therefore, an expression for flicker energy signals is defined, which can be successfully utilized for detection of the flicker source.

The main advantage of this method is its simplicity which can be implemented in time domain and no transformation to frequency domain is required.

The validity and performance of this method is verified by simulation and experimental results.
