The peak and effective value of harmonics When discussing the peak of harmonic currents, it's essential to first understand the fundamentals of harmonics. The effective value (RMS value) of a harmonic describes the average power of the harmonic component over one period, reflecting the equivalent extent to which the harmonic causes heating effects in the system. However, the peak of a harmonic (th...
SVG and APFC are related to power factor correction in electrical systems. Here's a brief explanation of each term: SVG (Static Var Generator): SVG is a device used for dynamic reactive power compensation in electrical power systems. It is a power electronics-based device that can regulate the reactive power flow in a system to maintain a desired power factor. SVG monitors the system power factor ...
The harm of harmonics to power capacitors mainly includes the following aspects 1. Overcurrent and Overload -Harmonics can cause distortion of voltage and current at the capacitor terminals, especially at specific harmonic frequencies, where capacitors resonate with inductive components in the system, resulting in significant amplification of harmonic currents. Excessive harmonic current causes th...
In Active Harmonic Filter (AHF), the function of an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is to control the compensation currents that are generated to counteract the harmonic currents in an electrical power system. IGBTs are used as the main switching devices in AHFs due to their ability to handle high voltages and currents. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how IGBTs function in an Active ...
