ALL THE NEWS

	16.11.2009 Two theoretical, comprehensive and detailed trainings on power quality, harmonics, the related problems and the solutions of these problems, have been organized in 2007 and 2009 by the project group and the academicians from Yıldız Technical University. By this way, the participants have been informed about the National Power Quality Project. Moreover, the detailed information with an applied training on National Power Quality Monitoring Center and National Power Quality Client Software are given to the participants.

	17.06.2009 Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Mr. Taner YILDIZ has been informed about “National Power Quality Project” at TÜBİTAK Space Technologies Research Institute. Presentation and system demonstrations have been made about Power Quality Monitoring System, Transient Events and Harmonics Measurement Systems, STATCOM Sub-Project and MV Active Power Filter Sub-Project.

	Minister of State Mehmet AYDIN has been informed about “National Power Quality Project” at the time of the visit of TÜBİTAK Space Technologies Research Institute.

	Prof. Dr. Muammer ERMİŞ, the manager of National Power Quality Project, presented an invited paper about “National Power Quality Project” in Energy Efficiency and Quality 2009 Symposium, which was performed on 21th and 22th of May.

	11.05.2009 The ±10MVAr STATCOM laboratory prototype has been completed and the tests are ongoing. In this context, the design and production of H-Bridge modules, which are the main structure of the STATCOM system, have been made. 15 H-Bridges required for STATCOM prototype with ± 10MVAR rated power were placed into CTP frame structure and the links between H-Bridges and frame structure were provided with flexible bars. Thus, the power stage of a ±10MVAR STATCOM unit has been made ready for tests.

	11.05.2009 The mobile platforms for transient events and harmonics measurement systems were produced.

	11.05.2009 The Turkish Electricity System is monitored with 153 “National Power Quality Monitor”.
