Dynamic Voltage Restorer: The Guardian of Power Systems In modern industrial and commercial applications, maintaining power quality is crucial for the reliable operation of sensitive equipment. One of the major challenges in power quality is voltage sags and dips, which can disrupt operations and cause equipment malfunction. Enter the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) – a critical piece of equi...
Introduction Harmonics in power systems have become a significant concern due to the widespread use of semiconductor-based loads, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) and line-commutated DC drive systems. These harmonics can lead to various power quality issues, affecting both equipment performance and system reliability. Harmonics are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. For exampl...
What are the relationship of Active Harmonic Filter, capacitor banks and reactors? Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs), capacitor banks, and reactors are essential components used in electrical networks to manage power quality, reactive power compensation, and harmonic mitigation. When these devices are combined effectively in a network, they can help improve system performance, energy efficiency, and ...
How to Avoid Non-Compliance with Power Factor Requirements In the world of industrial and commercial power management, maintaining an optimal power factor is critical. Poor power factor not only leads to inefficiencies in energy usage but can also result in hefty penalties imposed by utility companies. Understanding the importance of power factor correction can save businesses substantial costs an...
Voltage Unbalance: Causes, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies This state of imbalance not only affects power quality but can also damage equipment and reduce energy efficiency. For example, using SPC (Static Phase Converter) for dynamic adjustment within the distribution station can effectively improve this situation; at the same time, users should also pay attention to reasonable load configurati...
1. Introduction In light of high energy usage, environmental pollution, and rising fossil fuel prices, current dependence on internal combustion engine (ICE) technology employed in vehicles should be reduced, and the widespread use of electric vehicles (EVs) as the transportation of choice in 20 to 30 years' time should be increased. It is estimated that EV vehicle penetration will increase gradua...
1. Summary Due to the advantages of simple control and low cost of uncontrolled rectifying converter, it is widely used in switching power supply, frequency converter and other equipment. However, this kind of converter will inject a large amount of harmonic current into the power grid, and increasingly become the most important harmonic source in the power grid. Most of the frequency converters o...
What is Total Harmonic Distortion & How AHF Can Help In this blog post, we will explore what THDi is and why it is important. We will also discuss how Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) can help reduce problems caused by harmonics. What is Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi)? Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi) represents the distortion in an electrical current waveform because of the presence of harmon...
