Can Power Factor Correction save money? Understanding energy consumption is key to reducing costs for commercial business owners. One often overlooked aspect is the power factor, which measures the efficiency of electrical power usage. The power factor is a unitless number used in AC circuits, representing the ratio of true power to apparent power, calculated as PF = kW / kVA. It applies to both i...
How AHF Prevent Harmonics and Resonance in the Power Grid Introduction In today's increasingly electrified world, power quality issues like harmonics and resonance are becoming more prominent in industrial and commercial settings. These issues can lead to equipment malfunctions, energy inefficiencies, and costly downtimes. An effective solution lies in Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs),...
Winter brings a unique set of challenges for electric vehicle (EV) owners, and one of the most common concerns is how EV batteries perform in cold temperatures. While EV batteries are designed to withstand a variety of conditions, cold weather can still impact their efficiency and range. This article will explore why cold weather affects EV batteries, how owners can mitigate these effects, and how...
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...
Reactive Power Compensation in Impact Load Applications What are Impact Loads? Impact loads are electrical devices that need a lot of power. They often use more than 30% of the transformer's capacity. These loads can change quickly and unpredictably. These loads can significantly affect power quality and stability, making their management a key challenge in modern power systems. Characteris...
In regions like Zimbabwe, where unreliable grid power is a persistent issue, diesel generators are indispensable for businesses and industries. However, these generators face challenges such as poor power quality, inefficient fuel usage, and unstable voltage. By integrating Static Var Generators (SVG)—such as the advanced solutions from YT Electric—into diesel generator systems, these ...
Active Harmonic Filters for UPS Systems : A Deep Dive into Electrical Harmonics Active Harmonic Filter For UPS System In the vast landscape of electrical devices, some exhibit nonlinear operating characteristics. This means that even if the voltage applied is sinusoidal, the current they draw isn’t. Such devices, when integrated into power distribution circuits, produce nonlinear curr...
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.
