Power Quality Power electronics make modern life possible and enable all other areas of innovation. Although stable power delivery seems like a simple problem, the design of a high-efficiency power transmission and conversion system is prone to several problems that reduce efficiency by reducing delivered power. Nonlinear components are needed in power electronics to control the flow of power and ...
Achieving capable factory functional test requires meeting multiple criteria to ensure the highest quality product. These criteria include test capability and repeatability, system upgradability and supportability, and production scalability. Setting up new production test not only involves implementing new test systems, but also managing schedule risk and budget which are often impacted by techni...
YT ELECTRIC has been offering a comprehensive range of key components for Automatic Power factor correction (APFC) and power quality solutions for many years. The rapid development of industry and infrastructure resulted in the increased usage of power electronic loads which demands a highly dynamic response time for reactive power compensation. Conventional reactive power compensation only with p...
Power factor is a measurement of electrical system efficiency. Many utilities have a power factor penalty built into their rate structure to penalize users with a low power factor reading in their electrical system. To improve the power factor, the most common solution is to install a capacitor banks, But Static Var Generator is the best power factor correction product. There are 3 kinds of...
The reactive power consumed by the transformer is generally about 10% to 15% of its rated capacity, and its no-load reactive power is about 1/3 of the full load. Therefore, in order to improve power factor (PF) of the power system, the transformer should not operate at no-load or in a long-term low-load operation state. Vigorously improving the power factor of transformers, reducing line losses, a...
Low voltage automatic contactor switched capacitor banks or filter banks typically use a delay time of 30 – 40 seconds between steps. This delay time is chosen to ensure that the capacitors have discharged prior to being re-connected. The long delay time limits the autobank’s ability to track rapidly changing loads. The slow response time may result in an overload condition in filter b...
Hybrid power factor correction Hybrid Active power factor correction systems utilise power electronics and digital control to achieve active reactive current compensation for specific and high performance solutions. YTPQC hybrid power factor correction system is comprised from both capacitor based and Static Var Generator(SVG,Active Power Factor correction). Static Var Generator is use...
Why power factor is lower at power grid with solar? The active power and reactive power consumed by the system is fixed. When there is photovoltaic, photovoltaic provides active power, so the active power provided by the system decreases, and the reactive power remains unchanged, so the power factor decreases. If the active power provided by photovoltaics is close to the active power consumed by t...
