Abstract :
Power quality indices for ripple evaluation in DC low voltage networks are presented and discussed. Ripple is interpreted in a more general way than a simple periodic fluctuation of network voltage due to rectifying harmonics: the indices are conceived to cope with PQ definition of several standards in terms of frequency range and related phenomena. The proposed PQ indices are implemented for real-time execution; performances are evaluated in Matlab.
