Active Harmonic Filter vs Passive Harmonic Filter Modern facilities depend on equipment that improves efficiency and control, but that same equipment often creates serious power quality problems. In an industrial power system, nonlinear loads such as variable frequency drive units, rectifiers, UPS systems, welders, and switched-mode power supplies can generate harmonic distortion. Once harm...
Technical Case Study: Energy Storage System in Singapore Singapore's commitment to the Green Plan 2030 has accelerated the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across the island. For commercial operators, the challenge lies in managing high peak demand charges and grid constraints. Integrating a solar plus energy storage system offers a robust technical solution to these issues...
Why Your Traditional Capacitor Bank Fails to CompensateReactive Power In power systems, reactive power compensation is key to keeping grids stable and using electricity efficiently. Many businesses use traditional capacitor banks for compensation, only to find they don’t work well in real operation. This article explains simply why standard capacitor banks often fail to compensate reactive p...
Power quality is a growing issue in Africa. Many sites now use solar inverters, VFDs, battery systems, UPS units, and LED lighting. These loads improve efficiency, but they also create harmonic currents and reactive power problems. This is one reason harmonics damage transformers in modern facilities. In many African industrial power systems, transformers carry the stress of the whole network. Whe...
Why EV Charging Stations Need an Active Harmonic Filter EV charging stations are expanding quickly in commercial buildings, parking structures, fleets, and public infrastructure. As more fast chargers connect to the electrical system, power quality becomes a serious issue. Many charging stations use high-power electronic converters. These are nonlinear loads. While they improve charging efficiency...
Case Study Implementing AHF in Energy Industry The energy sector relies heavily on power electronics to maintain operational efficiency and control. However, the widespread use of non-linear loads, such as large variable frequency drives and rectifiers, creates significant electrical noise. This noise, known as harmonic distortion, can lead to catastrophic equipment failure and expensive downtime....
Solar Inverter Harmonics in South Africa Solar inverter harmonics South Africa is now a bigger issue on industrial and commercial sites. Many facilities have added rooftop PV to reduce grid dependence and control electricity bills. But solar inverters also add harmonic current to electrical networks. When that happens, the site may see overheating, unstable power factor, nuisance trips, and weak p...
Optimizing Wind Farm Stability with MV SVG Systems Wind energy plays a vital role in the global transition toward sustainable power generation. However, integrating large-scale wind farms into the electrical grid presents significant technical challenges regarding voltage stability. Rapid fluctuations in wind speed lead to inconsistent power output and reactive power imbalances. To a...
