Characteristics of reactive energy Reactive energy is not consumed, it is not useful for the system. Although it does not produce useful work, it is necessary to neutralize or compensate it. The reactive energy is measured in kVArh (Kilo volt-amp reactive hour). Reactive energy is created in devices or machinery that works with motors or transformers powered by the alternating current that reaches...
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...
Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) Do you have AC motors in your facility?Do these motors need a variable output? The growing popularity of Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) is a key driver of energy efficiency, but Variable Speed Drives cause power quality problems, one of which is the harmonics within power systems. So networks requires more effective means to mitigate harmonics. In C...
What is the power quality problems at sites with welding machines? The most common power quality problems associated with welding machines are voltage sags, harmonic pollution, and electromagnetic interference. Voltage sags can cause the welding machine to operate at a lower than expected output, resulting in poor weld quality. Harmonic distortion pollution can cause interference with other equipm...
What is difference between THD and TDD? While power electronics have created considerable energy savings, they can distort the quality of electrical power delivered through the building they serve, reducing the effectiveness and life span of the power electronics contained within that building. THD is described as the instantaneous value of the ratio of the root-mean-square (rms) of the harmonic c...
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 ...
