Power quality is related to the characteristics of electrical power, such as voltage, frequency, and waveform, that affect the performance of electrical devices and equipment. Energy storage, on the other hand, refers to the conversion and storage of electrical energy for later use. While power quality and energy storage are distinct concepts, they can be interrelated in certain ways. Energy stora...
In Active Harmonic Filter (AHF), the function of an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is to control the compensation currents that are generated to counteract the harmonic currents in an electrical power system. IGBTs are used as the main switching devices in AHFs due to their ability to handle high voltages and currents. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how IGBTs function in an Active ...
What are the power quality problems of broadband oscillation? Broadband oscillations in power systems refer to low-frequency oscillations that occur over a wide range of frequencies. These oscillations can have a significant impact on system stability and can lead to voltage instability, power quality issues, and even blackouts if not properly managed. Here are some of the characteristics of broad...
SVG vs Capacitors: Key Differences and Advantages In the world of electrical engineering, maintaining power quality is crucial for the stability and efficiency of industrial systems. When it comes to power factor correction and voltage stabilization, two common solutions are often discussed: Static Var Generators (SVG) and traditional capacitors. While both technologies serve to improve pow...
Reactive power demand and charging are important concepts in electrical power systems, particularly in the context of power quality, grid stability, and efficient energy management. Here’s an explanation of both: Reactive Power Demand Reactive power (measured in VAR, Volt-Ampere Reactive) is the power required by inductive or capacitive loads to sustain electromagnetic fields in devices...
1. Why Do SVGs Generate Harmonics? Unlike ideal components, the real-world power electronic switches (IGBTs) in an SVG do not switch sinusoidally. They use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to synthesize a sinusoidal output current. This switching action is the primary source of harmonics. PWM Switching Frequency Harmonics: The output voltage of the SVG's H-Bridge inverters is a series of high-fre...
