I. INTRODUCTION
There is a growing concern of Electric Power Quality in
recent years with the proliferation of modern electronics
such as PCs, variable speed drives and industrial
programmable logic controllers (PLCs). While such
equipments are sensitive to the variation of the supply
voltage, they are also the source for power quality
problems. Due to the non-linear load characteristics of
solid state power conversion equipment, harmonics current
is injected into the power system and causes voltage
harmonics distortion. Apart from harmonics, transient
voltage variations resulted from lightning strikes, switching
of power line/capacitor bank and voltage sags caused by
system faults and large motor starting are common
concerns related to the Electric Power Quality issue.
1. Transformer model
The transformer is modelled with series impedance for
the windings together with a shunt magnetising branch of
the core. For a harmonic study, transformer short circuit
impedance, magnetising characteristics and winding
connections determine harmonic flows. Although the
resistance and leakage inductance of the transformer
windings are frequency-dependent, modelling them as
constant R and L is generally acceptable for typical
harmonics studies [6], [7]. Transformer saturation effect is
neglected since the harmonics generated by a transformer is
insignificant compared with the harmonics from non-linear
loads. The phase-shift effect due to a transformers
connection has been included in the three-phase
transformer model. For the high frequency transient study,
such as the lightning induced transient and line switching,
the transformer winding stray capacitance and bushing
capacitance have to be included in the transformer models.
Basic transformer parameters (as supplied by a local
manufacturer) used to generate input data for transformer
models are shown in Table 1.

Capacitor switching
Capacitor switching is a daily utility operation for the
purpose of power factor correction. Because the capacitor
voltage can not change instantaneously, energization of a
capacitor bank results in an immediate drop in system
voltage towards zero, followed by a fast voltage recovery
(overshoot) and finally an oscillating transient voltage
superimposed on the 50 Hz fundamental waveform. The
peak voltage magnitude depends on the instantaneous
system voltage at the moment of switching and can reach
2.0 times the normal system peak voltage under extreme

Voltage Sag
Voltage sag is the decrease in the RMS voltage
magnitude lasting between one cycle and several seconds,
which is usually caused by faults on the power system and
motor starting. Voltage sags due to system fault normally
lasts 3-6 cycles, which is the total time for fault detection
and breaker operation to clear the fault. The duration of the
sag caused by motor starting is generally longer, but with a
smaller sag magnitude.

V CONCLUSIONS
EMTP simulations had been performed in relation to power
quality analysis in a University distribution system. The
voltage harmonic distortion level is relatively low and
within the IEEE 519-1992 limits. However, the harmonic
current injected into the system by most of the customers
loads exceeds the limits. For the switching of an 11kV, 5
MVA capacitor bank, the maximum transient overvoltage
at 415V Bus is around 1.53 pu. Two hundred shots random
switching indicates that about 40% of switching induced
overvoltage exceeds 1.2 pu at 415V Bus which could cause
interruption for some sensitive equipment. Voltage sag at
415V and 208V Bus due to SLGFs in 33kV system is 0.65
pu and 0.74 pu respectively, severe enough to trip sensitive
equipment such as process controllers which can not
tolerate a voltage sag below 0.8 pu. Voltage sag due to
motor starting is insignificant related to power quality
concerns. A 5% line reactor installed at the MS instrument
terminal can significantly reduce the transient overvoltage
at its internal DC bus thus enhance the ride through
capability under capacitor switching conditions.
