Introduction: When "Refueling" Becomes "Charging," Power Quality Becomes the New Safety Battleground The recent spontaneous combustion of an vehicle in Shanghai during charging, with the official preliminary explanation citing "the use of substandard power by the owner," has sent shockwaves through the community. This incident not only caused panic among owners but also revealed a long-overlooked ...
The choice between installing an Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) on the power side (at the Point of Common Coupling - PCC) versus the load side (at the source of harmonics) is a critical design decision with significant technical and financial implications. Here is a detailed analysis comparing both installation strategies. Executive Summary Load-Side Installation (Local Compensation): Targets s...
The pursuit of perfect power quality is undergoing a fundamental shift, driven by a new semiconductor material: Silicon Carbide (SiC) . Comparing a traditional Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) with a SiC-based model reveals more than incremental upgrades; it showcases a leap in performance, efficiency, and capability. For decades, traditional AHFs have relied on silicon-based IGBTs. These components w...
Power Problems? Two Tools That Fix Them for Good Does your facility have any of these issues?---- Energy bills that are too high. Machines that run hotter than they should. Production lines that stop unexpectedly. Often, the problem isn't your equipment. The problem is the quality of the electricity that powers them. It's like giving an athlete dirty water to drink—performance w...
As industries expand and renewable energy grows, good power quality is essential for stable and efficient electrical systems. Issues like voltage drops, low power factor, and unstable loads can reduce performance and cause shutdowns. Our company offers full R&D, manufacturing, and sales support for high-performance Static Var Generators (SVGs). Our SVG products provide fast, accurate, and inte...
The Role of Energy Storage Systems in Off-Grid Power Systems As the need for reliable and sustainable electricity increases worldwide, off-grid power systems are becoming vital. They are important for remote areas, islands, industrial sites, and places with limited access to the grid. Off-grid systems let communities and businesses work without support from national grids. This reduces the ne...
Stop Blaming Your Equipment: Power Quality Solutions Explained Ever had your production line halt unexpectedly? Do your facility lights dim when a large motor starts? Have you faced unexplained equipment failures or rising energy bills? Before you replace the machine or blame the hardware, consider this: the issue might not be the device itself. The issue is likely the quality of the electr...
