Modern power systems face a hidden threat: resonance. This occurs when harmonic currents from non-linear loads (like VFDs and rectifiers) match the electrical system's natural frequency. The result? Dangerous amplification of harmonic voltages and currents, leading to capacitor failures, overheating, and equipment damage. Traditional passive filters can ironically cause this problem by introducing...
Power Quality Evaluation: The Cornerstone of Stable Solar PV System Operation As solar photovoltaic (PV) systems gain widespread adoption in commercial and industrial settings, interest in financial returns and performance expectations has intensified. However, a critical yet often overlooked aspect throughout the entire lifecycle of solar projects—from planning and installation to oper...
AHF & SVG Demystified: The Simple Guide to Smarter Power If you operate a factory, you've probably heard of power quality. You might have also heard about Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) and Static Var Generators (SVG). They sound technical, but their purpose is simple: to save you money and prevent headaches by fixing bad power. Think of your electrical supply as the water to your home. You exp...
