Flicker propagation in meshed high voltage networks

Flicker emission measurements are mostly made at the point of common coupling of fluctuating loads. However, in the case of several disturbers in a network, the interaction of these loads must be taken into account. Therefore it is important to calculate the flicker propagation in networks. This knowledge can be used for evaluation of measures in networks for flicker reduction. This paper compares different calculation methods with actual measurements. All methods are based on the use of conventional tools for power system analysis and should therefore be applicable for every technical engineer.
