COMPARISON BETWEEN INDUCTION AND DIGITAL ENERGY METER IN THE PRESENCE OF DISTORTION Mohamed Ashour Kamelia Youssef Abstract Power quality problems are often caused by the consumer's own installation and nonlinear loads. It is therefore essential that a consumer considers this possibility before making a complaint. Harmonic distortion is one of power quality problems, which typically arise from consumer's electrical equipment. Many of the new equipments installed today create harmonics and are sensitive to harmonic content, that means, most currents these days are distorted. Alexandria Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has to identify the source of harmonic and work with the relevant consumers to limit the harmonics to acceptable levels. Also AEDC plans to replace induction meters by electronic meters. Although the induction meter have good long term stability and they are reliable in simple measurement, but harmonics cause remarkable measurement errors to the induction meters. This paper presents the observations and remarks about real time measurement results carried out for different nonlinear loads through induction meters, digital meters and portable energy analyzers. 1-Background Harmonic currents and voltages are generated by non-linear loads connected on the electric distribution system. All power electronic converters used in various types of electronic systems can increase harmonic distortions by injecting harmonic currents directly into the grid. Harmonics may cause cables to overheat. Motor may also overheat or become noisy. Capacitors overheat with, in the most severe cases, the risk of explosion as the dielectric breaks down. Electronic displays and lighting may flicker, circuit breakers can trip, computers fail and meters give false reading. In 1994 Alexandria Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) started a research program on harmonic distortion levels at utility and user buses. All supply side buses, in Alexandria now have measurable harmonic content in voltage and current. On end-consumer buses, the harmonic monitoring and measurement are still going on. This change in the end-consumer load profile is a disadvantage for energy distributors which bill energy based only on active power. With the application of non-linear loads to power lines the active energy no longer represents the total energy delivered. As a response to improve billing, the measurement of reactive energy is gaining interest. 2-Three-phase watthour meter : A digital electronic watthour meter. Its type is described as a 3-element meter for four wire three-phase wye service. It has a specified accuracy at unity power factor, rated voltage and frequency of ±0.5% error for currents between 0.1 and 20A Induction watthour meter It is a 3-stator induction watthour meter, which is probably the most familiar energy measurement device with accuracy ± 2%. Comparison between induction and electronic energy meters: Accuracy : While induction meters are normally available with class 2 accuracy , electronic meters of class 1 accuracy are very common. Installation : The induction meter is very sensitive to the position in which it is installed . If it is not mounted vertically , it will run slow , resulting in revenue loss. Electronic meters are not sensitive to their mounting position. Tamper : The induction meters can be tampered very easily even without disturbing the wiring , either by using external magnet or by inserting a thin film into the meter to touch the rotating disc. Electronic meters cannot be tampered by using any of these methods . Moreover they indicate the presence of tamper by indicator . Low current performance : Most of the induction meters tend to run slow after a few years and stop recording at low loads typically below 40% of their basic current . Electronic meters record consistently and accurately even at 5% of their basic current . Also they are guaranteed to start recording energy at 0.4% of their basic current. Low voltage performance Most of the mechanical meters became inaccurate at voltages below 75% of rated voltage whereas electronic meters record accurately even at 50% of rated voltage. The basic principle of operation of induction energy meter is very simple . The essential components of an induction energy meter are two magnets and the rotating disc. The speed of rotation is proportional to the rate of real power consumption and the rotating disc also serves as a mechanical integrator of kilowatt over time , i,e, the familiar kilowatt hour unit . The important remarks for induction energy meter in presence of harmonics [1] are : The 2nd and 4th harmonic currents contribute surplus average forces (or torques) to the meter which increase with increasing lagging power – factor (positive sign) The 3rd and 5th harmonic currents contribute negligible forces (or torques) to the meter (negative sign) The induction energy meter will register real power due to the 2nd and 4th harmonics but not the 3rd and 5th harmonics. 3 - Reactive and active power The reactive power is defined in the IEEE 100-1996 (Standard Dictionary) under the energy manager as : Q = Reactive Power = h 1 Vh Ih sin (φh) The average active power is define as : P = Average active power = Vh Ih cos (φh) h 1 Where Vh and Ih are respectively the voltage and current rms values of the h th harmonics of the line frequency, and φh is the phase difference between the voltage and current h th harmonics. However, the energy contained in the harmonics causes measurement errors. In the presence of harmonics, P and Q depend mainly on the direction of φh as follows : Q is increased when 0o < φh < 180o Q is decreased when 180o < φh < 360 o P is increased when 90o > φh > 270 o P is decreased when 90o < φh < 270 o 4- Monitoring and Measurement : AEDC has just installed new electronic meters inside the existing induction meters for selected endcustomer which generate extensive harmonics. The portable energy analyzer instrument is used for recording voltage, current, power, power factor, energy and total & individual voltage and current distortion. Several audit series of measurement and monitoring for electrical parameters for several customers, and 24-hour period -at least- per each (at low voltage bus), were carried out. The most new loads are electronic based non-linear loads which represent the sources of harmonic distortions. Electrical measurement for 23 case study have different activities such as : exchanger, textile, food, paper, metal, --- are carried out. The mechanical and digital meters are installed together in each case study. Accuracy of mechanical meters are adjusted at ± 0.5%. Table (1) summarizes the consumption for each meter, error% and THDV% & THDI%. Figs (1) & (2) give the results of electrical parameters measurement for case study (1), without and with capacitor bank in service, respectively. The observation of table (1) is : - Maximum difference (error%) is + 4.833% : - 4.737% - Case studies 18, 20 have no error% - Max THDV% is 1.7% : 7% - Max THDI% is 4.93% : 60% - Not any relation between error% and THD% 5 - Phase Difference (φh) The phase difference between the voltage and current h th harmonics is studied and monitored for some case studies. Figs (3) & (4) represent time variation of cos φh and sin φh per phase R for case study No. (1) where h equals 3, 5, 7. The cos φh and sin φh are alternating on positive and negative signs over measurement duration, that means the harmonic power components eliminate each other. The result is + 0.487% error. Table (2) summarizes the results of φh for some case studies. The observation of table (2) is : - cos φ3 alternates on (+) & (-) sign - When cos φ5 and cos φ7 are positive, the error is high. - When cos φ3 , cos φ5 , cos φ7 alternate on (+) &(-) sign, the error is neglected. Table (2) Phase difference Φh for some case studies Case Max. Max. study THDV% THDI% 4 5.18 12 15 Cos Φ3 Cos Φ5 Cos Φ7 Error % 37.65 (+) &(-) + + + 4.833 2.5 5.7 (+) &(-) + + + 2.239 3.6 25.35 (+) &(-) (+) &(-) (+) &(-) - 0.089 Basically , the power factor improvement can be used when it is not necessary to take measures to avoid resonance problems or to reduce or eleminate the harmonic distortions. This is the case when the resonant frequency given by the supply network inductance and the capacitance of the capacitor is relatively high and harmonic content of the system is very low. Also the shunt capacitor is not a source of harmonics but it causes magnification of harmonic currents. The shunt capacitor effects on phase difference (Φh) between the voltage and current hth harmonics. Fig (5) shows time variation of cos Φh per phase R for case study No.(1) when capacitor is off by comparing Fig (5) with Fig (3) , the cos Φh variation is changed from positive sign to alternate on positive and negative sign. Conclusion With more and more non-linear loads at end-user, more signal harmonics are generated on the electricity grid, at different voltage levels . This change in the end-consumer profile is a disadvantage for energy distribution which bill energy based only on active power . With application of disturbing loads to power lines the active energy no longer represent the total energy delivered . As a response to improve billing, the measurement of reactive energy is gaining interest. Comparison between consumption of induction and digital meters in the presence of distortion is carried out. The remarks are : In spite of THDI% & THDV% are exceed the standard limit , not any relation between errors % and THD% There is relation between phase difference Φh and errors% There is signification for presence of power factor improvement The energy meter will register surplus power due to the harmonics have positive signs. This project is still in going on to prepare empirical formela between errors % and Φh.
