Power Quality Problems With the in-depth application of power electronic technology, the automation of the petrochemical industry has been continuously improved, and the nature of the load has also undergone qualitative changes. The increase of nonlinear and impact loads has brought about voltage flicker, three-phase imbalance, and excessive reactive power consumption. , harmonics and a series of ...
Current and voltage harmonics are often used interchangeably. At most places, only harmonics is quoted and whether the values pertain to current or voltage is not mentioned. The differentiation can be done on the basis of their origin. What is Total Harmonic Distortion? The current and voltage harmonics in a system are often expressed as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The total harmonic d...
Benefits of installing YTPQC Active Harmonic Filter Prevention of breakdown and equipment failure Maximum utilization of installation capacity Improvement of energy efficiency Securement of reliability and continuity Reduction of service and maintenance costs Prevention/reduction of unnecessary energy losses Increased safety by reducing fire risk YTPQC-AHF Active Harmonic Filter YTPQC-AHF A...
3 phase load current imbalance In three phase systems, current unbalance is defined as the maximum deviation of any phase current from average divided by average current. Current unbalance can occur due to reasons within the control of the end user or outside the control of end user. Some of the reasons for current unbalance (or imbalance) are: Source voltage from the electric utility is unbalance...
With the development of society and the increase of demand for electricity, Reactive power compensation technology has developed rapidly, including Static VAR Compensation and Dynamic Reactive Power compensation, and has gained rich operating experience. However, some problems have also been exposed in practice. Some reactive power compensation devices are inconvenient to move, and the equipment m...
Reactive currents backstreaming from Solar to Utility Reactive currents backstreaming(from Solar plant) in power supply system is not only harmful but also expensive for financial purposes. Parasite currents in both electricity transmission lines and equipment of solar power-stations cause financial losses because of converting electric energy to thermal (thus making generation amount lower, that ...
Microgrids are designed to operate at a fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz). However, certain types of loads generate voltage and/or current harmonics that increase power system heat losses. These harmonic losses reduce system efficiency, cause apparatus overheating and increase power costs. Besides that, the Distributed Generation (DG) is expected to play an important role in future power systems...
Static VAR Generator (SVG) and Active Power(Harmonic) Filter (APF or AHF) are both devices used in power systems for Power Factor Correction and Power Quality Improvement. However, they serve different purposes and have different functionalities. Static VAR Generator (SVG):Static VAR Generator is a power electronics-based device used to provide dynamic reactive power compensation in electrica...
