Why is CT Selection the Core of AHF System Performance? The current transformer (CT), as the "sensing organ" of the active harmonic filter (AHF), directly affects the accuracy of harmonic detection and the dynamic response speed. If the CT is not properly selected, the following problems may occur: Failure of Harmonic Compensation: Low-frequency or high-frequency harmonics are missed in det...
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...
1. Current Transformer (CT) A Current Transformer is an instrument transformer used to measure alternating current (AC) by stepping down high currents to a lower, measurable value. Key Functions: Current Measurement: Steps down high primary current (e.g., 1000A) to a standardized secondary current (e.g., 5A or 1A) for meters and relays. Isolation: Provides galvanic isolation be...
Power Quality: Why It Matters and How YT Electric Provides Solutions What Is Power Quality, and Why Should We Care? In 2001, a Silicon Valley manufacturing company lost over $3 million in a single day due to a power outage that halted production.¹ Today, nearly 20% of the world’s electricity is wasted due to inefficiencies in power transmission and distributio...
Have you ever heard of "harmonics" in electrical systems? If not, it’s time to pay attention—because these invisible distortions could be silently eroding efficiency, damaging equipment, and inflating energy costs. But what are harmonics, exactly? Think of electrical current as a symphony: ideal current flows smoothly in a single "note" (frequency). Harmonics are unwan...
Reducing Harmonics in Photovoltaic Grid Integration As solar penetration accelerates, photovoltaic (PV) plants are increasingly connected to distribution networks through power-electronic interfaces. While modern inverters are far cleaner than their predecessors, they still inject non-sinusoidal currents that distort the grid voltage. Left unchecked, these harmonics overheat transfor...
The textile sector, a linchpin of global manufacturing, has embraced automation and energy-efficient technologies to stay competitive. Yet, the proliferation of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), DC-powered machinery, and smart equipment has unleashed an invisible enemy: harmonic pollution. These distortions degrade power quality, disrupt production, and inflate costs—posing a criti...
Active Harmonic Filters vs. Line Reactors: A Comprehensive Technical Comparison Understanding Harmonic Mitigation Harmonic distortion in electrical systems, caused by non-linear loads like variable frequency drives (VFDs) and switch-mode power supplies, degrades power quality, increases losses, and risks equipment damage. Two primary solutions exist: Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) and Line Reactor...
