What Are TDD and THD? — A Comprehensive Explanation of Harmonic Distortion Indicators In power systems and power quality management, harmonic distortion is a crucial issue that cannot be ignored. Two key indicators used to measure harmonic distortion are THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and TDD (Total Demand Distortion). These terms are commonly referenced in technical specifications a...
Hybrid Reactive Power Compensation Cabinets: Optimizing Power Quality and Efficiency In modern industrial and commercial power systems, maintaining power quality and energy efficiency is essential. Poor power quality, particularly reactive power issues, can lead to higher costs and reduced system efficiency. Hybrid Reactive Power Compensation Cabinets provide a cutting-edge solution by combining v...
Understanding Electric Frequencies: 50 Hz and 60 Hz Power frequencies vary across countries, and understanding these differences is essential when traveling. Before your trip, check the power frequency used in your destination to ensure compatibility with your devices. This simple step will help you pack the right equipment, such as adapters or converters. Use this quick guide to navigate internat...
Abstract: Utility power system harmonic problems can often be solved using a comprehensive approach including site surveys, harmonic measurements, and computer simulations. This case study presents the results for a commercial facility harmonic evaluation. The simulations were completed using the PSCAD program. The analysis evaluates the effects of transformer connections to determine the har...
Harmonics & VFDs: Causes, Solutions, and Key Insights How VFDs Cause Harmonic Issues Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are commonly used to control motor speed and optimize energy consumption in industrial systems. However, VFDs work as nonlinear loads. This means they draw currents that are not smooth, even if the supply voltage is a perfect sine wave. This happens because VFDs change AC power...
IEC vs IEEE Standards for Active Harmonic Filters Explore key differences between IEC 61000 and IEEE 519 standards for Active Power Filters (APF), including harmonic limits, testing protocols, and adaptive solutions. Discover YT Electric’s globally compliant APF systems. Why Dual Compliance Matters for APF in Global Projects? Modern power quality challenges require activ...
Both Passive Power Factor Correction(PPFC) and Active Power Factor Correction(APFC) are used to improve power factor and reduce reactive power, but they differ in complexity, cost, and performance. Passive Power Factor Correction (PPFC) Method: Uses passive components (capacitors, reactors, or filters) to compensate for reactive power. Types of Passive PFC: A. Capacitor Ba...
As the world accelerates its transition toward low-carbon and sustainable energy systems, the integration of renewable energy—such as solar, wind, and hydropower—has become a central pillar of national energy strategies. However, this rapid shift has introduced new challenges to the stability and reliability of power systems. One of the most critical concerns is power quality&md...
