Summary:碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 電機工程學系研究所 === 96 === Voltage flicker limitation of electric utilities has been discussed in the past three decades. Arc furnace is one of the most disturbing loads that cause flicker problems in the power network. If displeasing flicker levels are predictable, then corrective solution such as static var compensation or furnace controls could be developed in cooperation between the utility and the customer. In the past, the electric fluctuations in the arc furnace voltage have been proven to be chaotic in nature. This thesis proposes a phase space approach based on nonlinearity chaotic techniques to analyze and predict voltage flicker. The determination of the phase space dimension and the application of Lyapunov exponent for flicker prediction are described. Test results have shown that accurate prediction results are obtainable for short term flicker prediction based on chaos theory.
