The utility model patent discloses an Enhanced Active Power Filter with a three-phase unbalance adjustment function. The IGBT converter of the Enhanced Active Power Filter is a three-level three-phase four-wire four-arm PWM transformer. The fourth bridge arm is connected in parallel with the remaining three bridge arms, and the midpoint of the fourth bridge arm is connected to the neutra...
The existing power grid is usually equipped with a large number of nonlinear electronic components. These nonlinear electronic components will generate corresponding harmonics during the working process, among which high-order harmonics will interfere with the electrical equipment in the power grid and seriously affect the power supply. Power quality in the grid. In order to reduce the adverse eff...
Power Quality Background A perfect electrical supply would deliver a constant frequency sinusoidal voltage waveform with unvarying magnitude. In daily work, power supplies deviate from this ideal situation because system loads vary and phenomena such as transients and outages may occur. If the power quality of the network is good, loads connected to it will run satisfactorily and efficiently. Insu...
Due to the rapid development of power electronic technology, the nonlinear characteristics of industrial and agricultural power loads, especially transportation and civil electrical products are becoming more and more serious, and the power factor of users is also declining. Therefore, reactive power compensation devices are more and more widely used. The power compensation device is used to suppl...
Static var generator SVG is adjusted to exchange capacitive or inductive current to maintain or control specific parameters (Power Factor) of the electrical power system. Static var generator is a real time var compensator. SVG provides dynamic reactive power compensation and is directly connected parallely to the bus of networks. SVG's reactive power is generated by capacitors of harmonic f...
Power Factor in Networks Power factor is a measure of the phase difference between the voltage and current in an AC power system. In purely resistive loads (such as an incandescent lightbulb or electric kettle) the current is in phase with the voltage and there is ‘unity’ power factor. Capacitive and inductive loads (such as a capacitor banks or inductive motor respectively) will cause...
Power Factor Correction and Reactive Power Compensation Power Factor Correction(PFC) is done by electricity consumers to avoid penalties on account of large KVA demand or lower power factor. Normally, such penalties are imposed on industrial consumers. Therefore, industries need more lagging KVAr due to induction motors or otherwise, install capacitors banks or Static Var Generator(SVG) for power ...
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...
