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...
How to calculate THD and PF？ Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Analysis and Power Factor Evaluation Within this discussion, we'll explore methodologies for gauging total harmonic distortion alongside computations for power factor. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a metric reflecting the amalgamation of harmonic frequencies juxtaposed against the primary frequency—such as 60Hz—on...
Understanding IEEE 519-2022 Standard for Harmonic Distortion The IEEE 519 standard sets the criteria for voltage and current harmonic distortion in electrical systems. The recent IEEE 519-2022 edition, which replaces the 2014 edition as of December 2022, introduces significant changes that impact the design and management of electrical installations. Key Changes in IEEE 519-2022 &nbs...
TDD vs. THD: An In-depth Analysis and Comparison Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Total Demand Distortion (TDD) are critical parameters that help monitor and control the level of harmonics present in electrical systems. While they both measure harmonic distortion, there are critical differences between them that engineers and technicians need to understand. THD: Total Harmonic Distortion...
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...
How does Static var generator reduce kva demand? A Static Var Generator (SVG) reduces kVA demand through the following mechanisms: 1. Dynamic Reactive Power Compensation Real-Time Adjustment: SVG provide real-time reactive power support by injecting or absorbing reactive power (kVAR) as needed. This dynamic response helps maintain voltage levels, reducing the overall kVA demand. 2. Improved Power ...
Power Quality Issues in Photovoltaic Projects and Solutions As the demand for renewable energy continues to rise globally, photovoltaic (PV) projects have become an essential component of the energy mix. Solar energy, while offering significant environmental benefits, introduces several challenges related to power quality when integrated into the grid. In this blog, we will explore the common powe...
Introduction In today’s world, power quality matters more than ever. You’ve probably heard terms like "Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)" and "Power Factor" thrown around, especially when dealing with electrical systems. But what do they really mean, and how can understanding them improve your system's performance? Let’s break it down. What is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)...
