| Abstract | ||||
| This paper aims mainly to implement the power quality isspes and impact on the pumping stations networks supervised by the ministry of Water Recourses and Inigation in Egypt. The paper outlines the strategy of monitoring the power system disturbances at these stations with special emphasis on those disturbances influencing the performance of the pumping units. Because the pump stations network is large (more than 1500 pump stations) with different hydraulic load nature, this paper adopted a pilot project to conceive the power quality study. Two large pump stations are selected for this study at two different locations. The rating of the pumping units ranges between 475 kW and 1 MW for each unit at an operating voltage ranges between 6.6 kV and 11 kV. A special diagnosis system is described and installed at the selected pilot pump stations for long periods to cover the seasonable load system at these stations. Based on that svstem a com~rehensive data of unpredictable disturbances are recorded, examined and analyzed to clarify the power quality picture at the selected stations. This study also includes the lack of industry standards and performance behavior of the drive motors at the pumping station network. Problems conducted for investigation included all type of voltage disturbances such as voltage surges and impulses, voltage sags, harmonic invasion, flickering, and P.F quality. It is hoped that this study will be of special benefits to the Ministry and other private sectors growing now in the field of cultivated iands | ||||
