Microgrids are designed to operate at a fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz). However, certain types of loads generate voltage and/or current harmonics that increase power system heat losses. These harmonic losses reduce system efficiency, cause apparatus overheating and increase power costs. Besides that, the Distributed Generation (DG) is expected to play an important role in future power systems...
Achieving capable factory functional test requires meeting multiple criteria to ensure the highest quality product. These criteria include test capability and repeatability, system upgradability and supportability, and production scalability. Setting up new production test not only involves implementing new test systems, but also managing schedule risk and budget which are often impacted by techni...

Household energy storage is an important component of Distributed Energy Resources(DER). Core components Photovoltaic modules (solar panels): absorb solar radiation and convert it into direct current energy. Energy storage equipment (battery system): such as lithium-ion batteries, used to store excess energy from photovoltaic power generation, in order to provide power support during ...
The relationship between capacitors and harmonics is very close, especially in power systems. The use of capacitors can affect the generation and propagation of harmonics, and are also easily affected by harmonics, leading to reduced performance or damage. Harmonic amplification In the power system, capacitors have a lower impedance to harmonics, so harmonic currents tend to flow through th...
The peak and effective value of harmonics When discussing the peak of harmonic currents, it's essential to first understand the fundamentals of harmonics. The effective value (RMS value) of a harmonic describes the average power of the harmonic component over one period, reflecting the equivalent extent to which the harmonic causes heating effects in the system. However, the peak of a harmonic (th...
