We can definitively state that for high-power DC charging piles in gas stations or service areas, it is highly recommended, and in many cases essential, to install a Static Var Generator (SVG) or an Active Power Filter (APF) alongside them. The ideal solution is often a hybrid device that combines both functions, such as a Hybrid-APF or an Active Reactive Compenser (ARC). This is not an "opti...
I. Why Are Non-Linear Loads So Ubiquitous in Our Daily Lives? The fundamental reason is technological advancement and our relentless pursuit of efficiency and control. The core of non-linear loads is various power electronic devices that precisely control electrical energy through rapid switching. Here are the specific reasons for their ubiquity: Demand for Energy Savings and Efficiency:...
The market's preference for the model of "sampling on the high-voltage side and mitigation on the low-voltage side" is not accidental. It is the optimal solution determined by a combination of factors including technical feasibility, economic efficiency, safety, and mitigation effectiveness. The logic behind this can be understood with a simple analogy: A doctor performs a "blood te...
How to scientifically configure Static Var Generators (SVGs) and Active Power Filters (APFs) in wind farm applications. Wind farms, particularly those using Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs), are not only power producers but also major sources of power quality issues. The need and logic for configuring mitigation equipment here are significantly different from traditional commercial and indu...
How to scientifically configure Static Var Generators (SVGs) and Active Power Filters (APFs) in photovoltaic (PV) power plants. The power quality management of PV plants shares similarities with wind farms but has its own unique emphases. The core logic is: PV inverters are themselves harmonic sources and require reactive power support, while the grid has strict requirements for reactive powe...
The Short Summary A healthy AHF typically produces two types of noise: A low hum from the internal reactor (inductor) and cooling fans. This is normal. A high-frequency "switching" whine or buzz from the Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs). This is usually very faint. If the noise becomes loud, intrusive, or changes significantly, it is often a sign of a problem. Detailed Breakdow...
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing for an Active Harmonic Filter AHF is critical and non-negotiable. An AHF(APF) is a power electronics device (like a high-frequency inverter) that injects canceling currents into a noisy electrical system. If poorly designed, it can become a significant source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) itself, disrupting other equipment. Conversely, it mu...
