Neukirchner L., Göllei A., Görbe P., Magyar A., 2015, Carbon Footprint Reduction via Voltage Asymmetry Compensation of Three-Phase Low Voltage Grid Utilizing Small Domestic Power Plants, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 45, 283-288.
The three-phase unbalance problem can introduce additional losses in distribution networks due to both negative and zero sequence components, which leads to inefficient power consumption and increased CO2 emission of low voltage transformer area, moreover it causes safety possible malfunction of energy transportation networks. The aim of this paper is to examine two new analytical approaches to the voltage asymmetry phenomena and the following power losses and based on this definitions novel control algorithms are suggested and examined in simulation environment. To perform the analysis a power distribution system’s Matlab/Simulink model will be created with a domestic size complex energetic system with a power storage module and with renewable sources in a household environment. Based on the novel compensation control algorithm we calculate the possible CO2 emission reduction and carbon footprint.
