Message of Engr. Armando R. Diaz
36th Annual National Convention
I would like to call this Annual Convention a homecoming. A homecoming, which makes family members come together. This
occasion brings nostalgia, once more waking up old memories of yesteryears that bounded us together to become not just friends
or colleagues but a family. A family that shares pleasures, dreams, experiences and knowledge for a fruitful advocacy aimed for the
advancement of technology and the development of eco-consciousness in a progressive nation seeking further advancement in the
industrial world..Ladies and gentlemen of Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers my familyMagandang umaga po sa inyong
lahat.
Welcome to IIEEs 36th Annual National Convention. The Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers conferences like this one,
is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding privileges of IIEE membership. Occasions like this in IIEE, opens doors to countless
opportunities. Here, you meet old friends and make new ones. Thus, you expand your network of friends and discover new sources
of information that would update you to new knowledge necessary in modern industry.
Occasions like this also makes you feel proud of your profession, inspiring you to learn some more, encourage you to share your
skills, and motivates you to participate in nation building, which our country direly need in these fast changing times of industrial, and
economic development.
To the romantic, especially those active members whose days with IIEE had been illustrious, similar conferences bring back old
memoriesflipping calendar pages backwards..
Pilit na ibinabalik ang ala-ala ng lumipas, sinasariwa ang ligaya sa kabila ng hirap at dusa upang maging matibay at matatag ang
institusyong ito, na ngayoy isa nang simbolo ng ating piniling propesyon, mandiy kanlungan ito ng karunungan,karanasan,at matalik
na pagkakaibigan.
This conference particularly, is one of the golden pages of my book life. It is the most important chapter that describe my love affair
with my profession.
Thirteen years ago in 1998 , I was awarded the honor of being the most outstanding professional in the field of industry, Five years
ago in 2006 , I was inducted as one of the Governor at Large and as well as conferred an IIEE Fellow.
All these happened here at PICC. Now, 2011, the year of metal rabbit ,which gave us a lot of things to look forward to, I am delivering
my final message as your National President here at PICC the very place where it all started . Needless to say , this one is indeed
memorable to me.
Today, I am proud of IIEEs numerous achievements..
I wish that everyone, like us in IIEE Board are equally or better inspired in what we are doing today and what we have done during
the year. If we as a citizen have an obligation to fulfill for our country, we as professionals have obligations to our profession, as
members of IIEE, we are obliged to serve society. My friends, I wish to see the day , that someone from these attendees be a
National President of our prestigious IIEE. To have a hand in running the institute is an admirable honor, which is more than just a
star on ones shoulder. It is a pride and great privilege more than just any other.
National Presidents before me have laid-out their agenda to make IIEE a better IIEE. I am proud of their achievements, which we
enjoy today.
My vision is to make IIEE a gainfully distinct pool of citizen-friendly and environment conscious electrical engineers, integrated to the
development of a nation. My vision is focused on new avenues where IIEE could actively venture. Nation building through modern
technology and industry will be our quest. We drew our 4-Circuit Program to be our working guide .We called it Circuit Program to
jive with words common in the practice of our profession. The 4-circuit program aims to give more muscle to the institute; advocate
membership strength and professional competence; a new functional policies and public relations programs; and emphasize new
methods in reducing the industries carbon print in the environment.
We began our public relations program with an Electrical Safety Enforcement and Awareness or ESEA. Last February 20, 2011,
we signed a memorandum of agreement with ICASEA for a three-year electrical safety program which was designed primarily to
enhance the enforcement of Philippine Electrical Code, build capacity for the improvement of local electrical inspectors skills and
increase public awareness toward electrical safety.

Ladies and Gentlemen with this Executive Proclamation..193...This will put us all in the forefront of a scheme to provide electrical
safety in the household, streets, offices, and factories in every barangays, towns, and cities of the country There is no thrill quite
like doing something you did not know you could.
Nakita natin ang katotohanan sa salawikaing hindi tayo makakatuklas ng bagong dagat kung wala tayong lakas ng loob na mawala
sa ating pananaw ang pampang.
Once more we have proven that in life, nothing is impossibleMore could be done, if we shall stay together and diligently with
passion, for our profession, for ourselves, for our family, for the society, work.for the country, Let us do all these together.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to all!

IIEE Leads Disaster-Management Advocacy

Engr. Glynn Andy O. Gayman
The Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers (IIEE), Inc. is
not only an institution serving its immediate constituents of
professionals but deserves a whole lot of credit for intending
to go the extra mile in serving the general community through
its own initiative of advocating a Disaster Management
campaign on top of other priorities in pursuit of public safety
and security.
Over the past several years, responses to major disasters
have become apparent from local relief organizations to the
international community in aid of the governments capability
to alleviate the suffering of victims of calamity. However, due to
constraints on disaster risk reduction procedures, the present
system manages to get to the bottom of these incidents barely
repairing the damage. Be that as it may, mere food and material
provisions only temporarily eliminates the inconvenience and
nothing more.
The rapid growth of population and increased settlement in
hazardous locations just escalates the frequency and severity of
natural disasters. Studies made by the University of Delawares
Disaster Research Center manifests that disasters are the
results of human failure to introduce appropriate disaster
management measures for the reason that human actions
before the strike of the hazard can prevent it developing into
a disaster. (At Risk-Natural hazards, peoples vulnerability and
disasters by B. Wisner, et. al.).
from two of the countrys powerful forces often tapped

during disaster control call-ups; the Philippine Navy Reserve
Forces (PNRV) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
Representing the authorities were Lieutenant Commander
Ferdinand Juan of the Philippine Navy Reserve Force who is
also the Chief-of-staff of the Naval Affiliated Reserve Force, and
Lieutenant Colonel Dennis Bumanlag of the AFP, both belonging
to the Scout Ranger Regiment.
Lt. Commander Juan entitled his presentation Power to save
more lives which he tailored specifically to suit the Institutes
reflection. There was a clear manifestation that the Institute
could deliver its expertise having an absolute reserve of 36,000
active members of professionals, 77 local chapters and 8 foreign
chapters possessing the engineering know-how and capability
to design a habitat that is less vulnerable to risks.
This assemblage provided just the right amount of stimulus to
drive more responsible citizens towards risk reduction strategies
and pre-planning activities where preparedness would be the
ultimate objective. This call to action can be described as a
pooling of all resources available for a good cause.

Motor Performance Data

rESEARCH BY The Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (EPRI)
The importance of a motor does not totally depend on its rating (such as horsepower, voltage) but on it's
application. There may be small motors in terms of horsepower rating but because of application, it may
limit the operation of a system or plant.
6.1 Motor Performance History
Not every motor in a plant or other
facility will be monitored or have data
collected for tracking or trending.
Once the importance of a motor
has been established based on plant
or system design, then a program
for condition monitoring should be
established for that motor.
When faced with a motor problem, it
would be valuable to have operational
history to review. However, many
motors are either not instrumented
or not deemed important enough to
have this data collected. Many times
when called in to evaluate a motors
condition, the person performing
the evaluation is making a fairly
strong assumption regarding the
past handling and performance of a
motor if there is little or no condition
monitoring data available. Also if the
motor was not quarantined until
proper investigation, valuable data
could be lost.
Surrounding the motor is the system
that consists of power supply, driven
equipment through a mounting and
coupling set-up, and the environment
affect a motors condition. Failure to

consider external influences may lead
to an incorrect diagnosis of a motor
failure.
Although a complete system analysis
is not the focus of this report, it
is important to recognize that the
motor is only one component of a
system. Many factors will affect the
system that includes the motor and
then contribute to motor failure. The
converse of the previous sentence is
true also. Figure 6-1 illustrates the
symbiotic relationship between a
motor and the system that it operates
in.
Table 6-1 list the typical stresses that
will affect a motor and the most likely
component that will be affected:
6.2 Capturing Data

Electric motors are fairly rugged
pieces of equipment and should
provide years of trouble free service.
There is a minimum amount of data
that can be collected for motors that
are deemed important to system or
plant operations.
After installation, motors are typically
checked out to ensure proper
operation. Items such as proper
supply voltage, running current,
motor speed, bearing and winding
temperature (if possible) were
recorded in some form at initial
installation. If this basic information
was not collected, it would be
prudent to collect that information
for important motors.

Technical Feature
Without baseline data, a condition
that has been reported as a problem
may have existed since the installation
of a particular motor. If the motor
has been operating for many years,
it appears that the conditions may
be acceptable for that motor in that
particular application. If it is not
broken, why fix it?
The responsible motor person
should have the tools available to
capture data for important motors
in order to make determinations on
motor condition and to evaluate if
the data represents a condition that
will be detrimental to the continued
operation of a motor.
One of the most important tools
available is external inspection.
The general condition of a motor
as well as any abnormal condition
such as lubricant leakage, plugged
air passages, abnormal sounds and
smells can be noted. Motors that
are instrumented make the task
of data collection and condition
monitoring somewhat easier and
more consistent.
Trouble Shooting Summary

The analysis of motor problems must
include the system in which a motor
is located. The three major elements
include:
The Power Supply: Distribution System
and Motor Controls
The Motor: Stator, Rotor, Bearings and
Accessories
The Load: Driven Equipment and
The Process Upon inspection, the
motor may be found damaged but the
root cause of failure may be either the
power supply or the load. Hence, these
three elements must be treated as a
single system to accurately determine a
root cause. Failure to do so can result
in affecting a motor repair and only
have it fail again because the source of
the problem has not been removed or
corrected.
Throughout an investigation, one must
continue to ask the question: Is this
damage the result ofexternal or internal
forces acting upon the motor?
Normally, a good starting point is to

assure that the correct voltage is being
delivered to the motor terminals. This
can normally be done at the motor
control center without disconnecting,
the motor leads in the terminal box.
Next a review of the driven equipment
and the process can be helpful. There
are occasions when it may be necessary
to disengage the motor form the load
to assure that the drive train is free to
rotate.
Most large motors have a number of
protective devices that need to be
considered when trying to determine
why the motor alarmed or tripped off
the line. These devices may include
some of he following:
Over current devices
Current differential protection
Winding RTDs or equivalent
Bearing RTDs or equivalent
Surge Protection
Vibration Sensors
Pressure differential switch on filters
Zero speed protection

Modelling and Simulation of Active Power Filters for Harmonic
Compensation, Voltage Sags and Swells Mitigation and
Power Factor Correction
Michael C. Pacis, Jesus M. Martinez Jr., and Jaypee V. Tecson
Abstract The two major problems in the electrical industry today are sagging and swelling of line voltage and harmonic currents.
Voltage sagging and swelling may result to equipment malfunction and shut down. Harmonics also affect the electrical equipment
to fail and deteriorate the waveform of the current. To mitigate the voltage sags and swells, uninterrupted power supply was used.
But uninterrupted power supply is an example of non-linear load which creates harmonics in the power system. Active power
filters were used to eliminate the harmonics in the system. This study aims to create three models of active power filters that
compensate the harmonics, mitigate the voltage sags and swells, and also correct the power factor. The models were simulated to
know which of the three active power filter models gives the best performance. The simulation tools that were used in this study
were MATLAB/Simulink and TINA PRO. Based on the results, the active power filter models compensate the harmonics, mitigate
the voltage sags and swells, and correct the power factor of the system. Evaluating the models, the active power filter Model-A
gave the best performance by reducing the total harmonic distortion of the system.
index Terms active power filter, harmonics, voltage sags and swells, power factor correction
I.INTRODUCTION
As time passes by, the world of technology
evolves to a more advance and becomes
widely developed. Different devices
were formed such as high-end personal
computers, laser printers and other
electronic equipment. These devices are
very sensitive to voltage sags and swells.
Bingham defined voltage sags in his study
as the decrease in voltage lower than
a user defined low limit while voltage
swells was defined as voltage that
surpass the user defined high limit [1].
The more advanced and sophisticated
the equipment is, the more it is sensitive
to sagging and swelling of voltages.
Voltage sags and swells are the most
occurring power system problems today
that can cause electrical equipment to fail
or
shut down [3]. To mitigate the voltage
sags and swells, uninterrupted power
supply (UPS) were used. Uninterrupted
power supply is an example of non-linear
loads. Other examples of non-linear
loads are laptop, stereo, fax machines,
television set and telephone system
[5],[6]. Non-linear loads create harmonic
current and increase the deterioration of
the power systems voltage and current
waveforms. These loads causes the
sine wave of the current o deform [2].
Harmonics in the power system can be
measured through the measurement of
total harmonic distortion (THD) [4]. Due
to the current wide use of non-linear
28
loads, harmonics became a major issue

in the electrical industry. Active power
filters were used to compensate the
harmonics in the power system. This
research paper focused on modelling and
simulating active power filters that can
compensate both harmonics and voltage
sags & swells which both cause severe
problems in the electrical power system.
A study was conducted by M. Tarafdar
Haque [7] regarding simulation of
active power filter as an efficient and
economical way of eliminating harmonics
in the power system. The controls
of the active filter were based on the
instantaneous active and reactive power
theory. MATLAB was used as a simulation
tool for the active power filter. The study
turned out that the active filter produced
better results for correction of power
factor and elimination of harmonics
compared to the usual method which
is passive filter for conditioning current
harmonics and capacitors for correcting
the power factor. This study offers to
solve other major electrical power system
problem. Not only that the active power
filter models can compensate harmonic
and correct power factor but rather it
can also mitigate voltage sags and swells.
This study will also widen up the features
of an active power filter and will serve
as a new solution for the power system
problems. The researcher created three
different models of active power filter. At
the end of this study, the researcher will
choose which of the three active power
4th QUARTER 2011
filter models gave the best performance.

From the models generated in this study,
interested researchers could innovate
and enhance it by creating a complete
equivalent circuit or a prototype of the
active power filter models. The purpose
of this study is to create three different
models of active power filters and
evaluate their performance on different
harmonic conditions. Simulating tools
such as MATLAB/Simulink and TINA PRO
can be used to evaluate the performance
of the active power filter models. After
simulating each active filter model one
by one, each model must compensate
the harmonics, correct the power factor
and mitigate the voltage sags and swells.
At the end of this study, the researcher
will evaluate and compare the results of
the simulation of the models and choose
the best active power filter model among
the three models. Another purpose of
this research paper is to construct an
equivalent circuit for the voltage sags and
swells submodel.
Furthermore, this study will help the
electrical power system from the
generation side up to the distribution
side because this will serve as a solution
for harmonics, voltage sags and swells,
and power factor correction in the
power system. There will be reduction
of voltage drop in long transmission
lines. There will also be reduction of
losses, therefore, wasted energy will
be minimized [6]. There will be extra

apparent power available for additional
loads that may be inserted in the power
system.
Commercial and industrial
customers will save more money because
their electricity bills will be reduced.
There will be continuous production and
service because electrical disturbance
will be mitigated. All the end users will
benefit because the equipment will be
protected at the same time its life will
be extended. The simulation tools to be
used in this study are MATLAB/Simulink
and TINA PRO. This study focuses mainly
on the creating three different active
power filter models and evaluating each
models performance in seven different
harmonic cases. The harmonic currents
to be compensated by the Simulink filter
model will range from second harmonic
current to seventh harmonic current.
For the Simulink model for voltage sags
and swells, there will be two cases for
voltage sags mitigation and two cases for
voltage swells mitigation. For the TINA
pro simulation, there will be ten cases
for power factor correction. Since the
usual load in the industry is an inductive
load, the simulation for power factor
correction in tina pro will cover lagging
power factor. The simulation for Simulink
power factor correction model will cover
both lagging and leading power factor.
However, this study is only limited to
single phase circuits and single phase
active power filter models.
II. METHODOLOGY
The methodology of the study was based
on Figure 1. Three active power filter
models were simulated to eliminate the
problems. Each active power filter model
was composed of submodels for voltage
sags and swells mitigation, harmonic
compensation and power factor
correction. The researcher decided to
simulate separately the submodel for
voltage sags and swells since all three
active power filters have the same
voltage sags and swells mitigation
submodel. The researcher used two
different softwares to simulate hand in
hand the models. MATLAB/Simulink
was used first to simulate the voltage
sags and swells submodel and harmonic
compensating submodel combined with
power factor correction submodel. TINA
PRO was used to simulate the circuit for

the power factor correction.
A. MATLAB Simulink model for voltage
sags and swells mitigation
The first submodel generated was the
voltage sags and swells mitigation.
The block diagram of the voltage
sags and swells mitigation submodel
was composed of the rectifier, switch
mode DC to DC regulator and inverter
[4]. Figure 2 shows the block diagram
of voltage sags and swells mitigation
submodel while Figure 2 shows the
Simulink model for the voltage sags and
swells mitigation. The model of the
voltage sags and swells shown in Figure 3
was the equivalent of the block diagram
in Figure 2. The block diagram was used
to serve as a guide to build the voltage
sags and swells mitigation submodel.

IV. SIMULATION RESULTS USING TINA

PRO
By looking at Table 7, the power factor
from 0.50 was corrected to unity. The
capacitance for case one was 192uF to
correct the power factor of 0.5 to 1.
For trial one, capacitor switches were
opened to see the old power factor. For
trial two, the capacitor switches were
closed to give a correct capacitance that
will correct the old power factor to unity.
The computations matched the results
of the TINA PRO simulation. TINA PRO
simulation shows the implementation
of the Simulink model for power factor
correction.

Technical Feature
V. CONCLUSION
Initially, the active power filter mitigated
the voltage sags and swells of the circuit
then it compensated the harmonic
currents in the line current. The sagged
or swelled voltage was rectified to
convert AC voltage to DC by using the
bridge type rectifier and capacitor. The
DC output of the rectifier was controlled
by the switch mode DC to DC regulator.
The feedback comprising of a multiplier,
a constant block that acts as a reference
voltage, a PID controller and a low pass
filter circuit was the error checker of the
DC to DC regulator to maintain a certain
DC value. For the practical application of
this, voltage divider was used to regulate
the voltage which was showed on the
equivalent circuit of the voltage sags and
swells mitigation model.
The first low pass filter which was
interpreted as a capacitor and acts as
an AC filter eliminates the fundamental
frequency and harmonics while the
second low pass filter that acts as a DC
filter eliminates the harmonics and the
switching frequency. The output of the
regulator was multiplied to a square
wave generator in order to change DC
back to AC. The square wave of the
circuit can be an internal clock or a 555
square wave oscillator. Since the model
for voltage sags and swells mitigation is
very effective, the output of this circuit
will always be an RMS voltage of 220V
because of the DC to DC regulator.
Regulating the voltage was done in DC
to utilize the available DC DC switching
technique which is popular today. The
active power filter compensates all
harmonic currents and reduces the total
harmonic distortion of the system. It
also smoothens the distorted waveform
of the load current into a pure sinusoid.
Among the three active power filter
models, active power filter Model-A gave
the best performance compared to the
other two models. Model-A reduced the
percentage of total harmonic distortion
of the systems greater than the two
remaining models.
Since all the voltage and current whether

distorted or not became in phase with
each other in all cases, the power factor
of the system were all corrected to
near unity. Tina pro simulation was the
implementation of the MATLAB/Simulink
model for the power factor correction.
The active power filter will switch on the
correct capacitance to correct the power
factor to unity once the active power
filter detects the load voltage and load
current. Therefore the active power filter
models were effective in correcting the
power factor of the system to near unity.

Problem Description
This case history comes from an
electrical contractor. Several of this
contractors clients operate large
commercial buildings. One of these
clients asked for help with a large
transformer that had suddenly started
vibrating and making a loud buzzing
sound. The client was concerned
that the transformer was ready to
fail and he would be faced with an
expensive replacement. The contractor
dispatched an engineer at once.

Transformer configuration: Delta/wye,

480V 3-phase secondary
Secondary Load: Motors, lighting,
and office machines for a large office
building
The voltage measurements do not

show anything abnormal. The voltage
total harmonic distortion is well within
the maximum allowable value of 5%.
Voltage balance between phases also
looks good. The secondary current of
57A indicates the client was correct
in stating the transformer was lightly
loaded. No overheating was noted.
The engineer recorded the following

data using the Fluke 43B:
When a transformer is in trouble, this

contractors engineers always use a
Fluke 43B to measure the harmonic
spectrum of the secondary current.
The spectrum acts like a fingerprint,
indicating the types of loads present. In
the above case, the presence of the 3rd
harmonic shows that part of the load
consists of single-phase devices (e.g.,
fluorescent lighting ballasts) connected
phase to neutral. In the above data, the
amount of the 3rd harmonic is relatively
low and appears to be normal.
Secondary voltage total harmonic

distortion: 2.7%
Secondary voltage balance: within 1%
The 5th and 7th harmonics indicate

that part of the load is a large 3-phase
device with semiconductor rectifiers
Note: The client says the transformer

is lightly loaded because many of the
tenants have recently moved to a new
location.

Technical Feature
in the input circuit. The most common

example would be an adjustable
speed motor drive operating a fan or
pump. When a 3-phase motor drive is
operating normally, the input current
waveforms are symmetrical about
zero. That is, the positive going portion
of the waveform looks like the mirror
image of the negative portion. When
all semiconductors are operating
normally, the input currents have no
dc offset and only odd harmonics are
present.
The engineer noted that the spectrum
had even harmonics (2nd, 4th, and
6th). These abnormal harmonics
indicate the presence of dc current in
the transformer secondary winding.
Compare the example spectrums in Fig.
2 and Fig. 3. Unfortunately, dc current
tends to saturate the transformer
core at the peak of one half of the ac
waveform. When the core goes in and
out of saturation, it will vibrate and
make a loud buzzing noise.
The engineer suspected that the plant
load contained a large motor drive and
that one of the input semiconductors
had failed open. If one semiconductor
is open, the circuit on that phase
becomes a half-wave rectifierit
produces dc current. The trick here is
that the motor drive will continue to
operate at low speed because the other
two phases are operating normally.
Solution
The engineer asked if any large motor
drives were operating. The plant
manager confirmed that one large drive
was operating a ventilation fan. The
engineer instructed the plant manager
to have the drive shut off. When the
drive was shut off, the transformer
immediately stopped vibrating.

Equipment PQ Performance Standards

In the days before computers, most electrical loads consume power linearly that is, the current drawn
traces the voltage waveform. Today, the widespread use of electronics in the industries has created
a demand for better power quality as electronic equipment are not as tolerant of voltage waveforms
and events as the old loads. Ironically, these electronic equipment are non-linear loads that draws nonsinusoidal current and causes voltage waveforms to be distorted.
Developed in the 1970s (originally,

the CBEMA, Computer and Business
Equipment Manufacturers Association)
and revised in 2000, the ITIC (Information
Technology Industry Council) curve is
now one of the most common tools
available to engineers; using the ITIC
curve can help point map the sensitivity
of electronic equipment or help improve
the performance of a power distribution
system. Here is the ITIC curve:
The ITIC curve shows two lines

representing the upper and lower limits.
In the upper limit, voltages up to 500% of
the nominal may not cause damage to IT
equipment IF the duration is below the
curves specified time limit. This category
includes voltage transients as well as
voltage swells.
These tools are incorporated into

several power monitoring equipment
output as aid to the engineers study
on voltage tolerance of equipment as
well as providing a list of disturbances
in the power grid being monitored. The
usefulness of these tools is illustrated in
the case study below:
The SEMI F47 standard is another

voltage sag susceptibility curve which is
intended specifically to semiconductor
manufacturing equipment, which include
etch equipment, thermal equipment and
ion implant equipment.

Conclusion
Duration (seconds)
According to the company, the tunnel

furnace has stopped operating more than
7 times during the monitoring period;
much more than the three events that
violate the SEMI F47 curve. This suggests
that the equipment is much more
sensitive to voltage sags as it should be.
voltage unbalance and voltage harmonics

were all within industry limits and should
pose no problem to the VSD operation.
However, the following voltage sags were
captured by the equipment:

Solution
A UPS unit was recommended to increase
the voltage sag tolerance by providing
power to the equipment controls during
a voltage sag event. The customer was
surprised when the equipment vendor
pointed out that there is a UPS option
for their equipment, the customer need
only to specify for the UPS option to be
installed.

Most of the sags captured were verified

by the customer as enough to cause the

went down to only 88% from their
nominal values. A cost effective solution
was recommended as the PQ engineer
