AI Thread Summary
Psti and Plti values are affected by the transposition of measured Pst and Plt from low voltage (LV) to high voltage (HV) due to the nature of power-line flicker, which is caused by rapid voltage fluctuations. These fluctuations occur because of the changing load current on the power supply, and they are not significantly mitigated during the LV to HV transformation. The discussion emphasizes that flicker is a multi-cycle effect, and there is no mechanism to store energy in the step-up transformer to reduce it. To effectively minimize flicker from static inverters, a solution akin to a synchronous motor with a heavy flywheel would be necessary. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for managing power quality in energy distribution networks.

Do Psti and Plti values decrease when the measured Pst and Plt (@LV) is transposed to HV?

Could you provide a context to this question?

Welcome to PF.
I guess the subject is; The quality of AC power. Flicker emission limits for energy users on a power distribution network.
Pst; short term parameter.
Plt; long term parameter.
Power-line flicker is a visible change in brightness of a lamp due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply. The voltage drop is generated over the source impedance of the grid by the changing load current of an equipment or facility. These fluctuations in time generate flicker.

Flicker is a multi-cycle effect. I see nowhere to store several cycles of energy in the step-up transformer. I therefore assume that flicker will not be significantly attenuated by the LV to HV transformation at the generation site.

To reduce flicker from static inverters would require something equivalent to a synchronous motor/generator, with a heavy flywheel.
 
Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'
My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
