I. Analysis of Harmonic Sources and Characteristics Harmonics in AC systems are primarily generated by their core component—Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs/VSDs)—used to drive compressors, chilled water pumps, cooling tower fans, etc. Main Harmonic Sources: Central AC Units: Large centrifugal or screw compressor drive VFDs are the highest power and primary harmonic sources. Pumps ...
Installing an Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) on the main power distribution line can typically save fuel consumption for generators (especially diesel generators) Here is a detailed explanation: How Harmonics Increase Fuel Consumption in Generators (Especially Diesel Generators): Additional Heat Losses: Harmonic currents flowing through the stator and rotor windings of the generator cause highe...
A ship, particularly a modern, advanced vessel, is essentially a floating, highly concentrated town of power systems. The stability, efficiency, and reliability of its electrical system are directly related to the ship's operational safety, operating costs, and mission. The SVG, as a dynamic, precise, and high-performance reactive power compensation device, plays an irreplaceable role in...
In today’s rapidly evolving energy landscape, the transition toward cleaner and smarter technologies has become more than a global trend—it is a necessity. With the increasing demand for sustainable energy, the way we generate, store, and consume electricity is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Three key technologies stand at the center of this transition: EV charging stations, ...
We can definitively state that for high-power DC charging piles in gas stations or service areas, it is highly recommended, and in many cases essential, to install a Static Var Generator (SVG) or an Active Power Filter (APF) alongside them. The ideal solution is often a hybrid device that combines both functions, such as a Hybrid-APF or an Active Reactive Compenser (ARC). This is not an "opti...
I. Why Are Non-Linear Loads So Ubiquitous in Our Daily Lives? The fundamental reason is technological advancement and our relentless pursuit of efficiency and control. The core of non-linear loads is various power electronic devices that precisely control electrical energy through rapid switching. Here are the specific reasons for their ubiquity: Demand for Energy Savings and Efficiency:...
The market's preference for the model of "sampling on the high-voltage side and mitigation on the low-voltage side" is not accidental. It is the optimal solution determined by a combination of factors including technical feasibility, economic efficiency, safety, and mitigation effectiveness. The logic behind this can be understood with a simple analogy: A doctor performs a "blood te...
How to scientifically configure Static Var Generators (SVGs) and Active Power Filters (APFs) in wind farm applications. Wind farms, particularly those using Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs), are not only power producers but also major sources of power quality issues. The need and logic for configuring mitigation equipment here are significantly different from traditional commercial and indu...
