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...
Source-Grid-Load-Storage (SGLS) is a novel coordinated operational model for energy and power systems. It aims to build a flexible, efficient, and clean modern power system by integrating energy production, transmission, consumption, and storage. This concept represents a key solution to challenges such as large-scale renewable energy integration and dynamic power supply-demand balance amid t...
In Poland, reactive power management is governed by grid codes and regulations set by the Transmission System Operator (PSE - Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne) and Distribution System Operators (DSOs). The policies aim to ensure grid stability, minimize losses, and maintain efficient power flow. 1. Reactive Power Requirements in Poland A. General Power Factor (PF) Standards St...
Is Your Power System Suffering from Three-Phase Imbalance? In an ideal three-phase AC power system, the voltages and currents on all three phases (L1, L2, L3) are equal in magnitude and perfectly spaced 120 degrees apart. Three-phase imbalance occurs when the magnitudes of these voltages or currents deviate significantly from each other. This common power quality issue can stem from seve...
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...
Microinverters in Residential Photovoltaic Systems Microinverters have emerged as an innovative solution for residential photovoltaic (PV) installations, enhancing energy efficiency, system reliability, and overall performance. Unlike traditional string inverters, which connect multiple solar panels to a single inverter, microinverters are installed individually beneath each solar panel, co...
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...
