In 1999-2000, Dinesh at Arizona State University worked on the load modeling<br />

[6]. His work also aims at the <strong>highly</strong> <strong>varying</strong> <strong>loads</strong>. He used the concept of Markov<br />

chains to model the load. According to this concept, the future of a <strong>system</strong> is dependent<br />

only on the present state of the <strong>system</strong>. System states are represented by the time series<br />

data of current and/or voltage. By using these data, Dinesh tried to regenerate the<br />

response of the original <strong>system</strong> without looking at the original data. Results show that the<br />

response of signal and the original signal were fairly in agreement.<br />

1.5 Power conditioning<br />

Power line disturbances in any <strong>system</strong> are mainly caused by electric noise and by<br />

voltage fluctuations, such as transient spikes, surges, sags, and outages. These<br />

disturbances may severely affect the operation of microprocessor based electronic<br />

equipment. Voltage fluctuations and noisy signals may cause computing and printing<br />

errors, improper data transfer, data losses and even damage to sensitive circuitry.<br />

A <strong>power</strong> conditioner attenuates these harmful disturbances to prevent<br />

malfunctioning of sensitive electronic equipment and thus providing reliable operation.<br />

Depending on the load type and the type of noise in the supply bus, a <strong>power</strong> conditioner<br />

may consist of a simple passive filter, rectifier-inverter configuration, UPS, isolation<br />

trans<strong>for</strong>mer, automatic voltage regulator and active filter.
