EcoPower Cube is the most promising solution to enable a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation system. Traditionally, electrical energy storage for vehicle applications has been limited to starting lighting ignition (SLI) sub-systems. However, the increase in vehicle electrification has led to the rise in the energy, power, and cycling requirements of vehicle energy storage ...
Benefits of reactive power compensation What is reactive power? Reactive power is the electrical energy used to establish and maintain a circuit's electric and magnetic fields, particularly in devices with electromagnetic coils. Reactive power is measured in VAR (volt-amperes reactive) or kVAR (kilovolt-ampere active). The formula for reactive power is: Q=V×I×sinϕ Q: reacti...
What are the Protection function of Active Harmonic Filter? The protection functions of an Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) are critical for ensuring its safe operation, preventing damage, and maintaining the integrity of both the AHF and the electrical system it is connected to. These protection features safeguard the AHF from various electrical faults and environmental factors. Below are the key pro...
How Power Distribution Systems Work?Electrical power supplied to residential, commercial, and industrial buildings is typically generated by a utility at a centralized location and then transmitted and distributed through the utility’s power transmission and distribution system to its end users. A utility's power transmission and distribution system is responsible for controlling, pro...
TDD vs. THD: An In-depth Analysis and Comparison Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Total Demand Distortion (TDD) are critical parameters that help monitor and control the level of harmonics present in electrical systems. While they both measure harmonic distortion, there are critical differences between them that engineers and technicians need to understand. THD: Total Harmonic Distortion...
