Why Reactive power compensation is necessary on solar site? Backgaround With the development of the economy and the improvement of green energy awareness, more and more regions are using clean energy and installing a large number of solar power generation equipment. With the widespread use of photovoltaic power generation, many users have found that there are power adjustment fees, namely power fi...
Reasons of Neutral Current The neutral current is the current flowing through the neutral conductor in a multi-phase electrical system. In a perfectly balanced system, the sum of the currents in all phases should theoretically cancel each other out, resulting in zero neutral current. However, in practice, various factors cause current to flow in the neutral conductor. Reasons for Neutral Cur...
Neutral Current and Single-Phase Loads Neutral current is an essential aspect to consider in electrical systems, especially when dealing with single-phase loads in a three-phase system. The presence of single-phase loads can lead to various issues related to N line current, impacting the overall power quality and safety of the system. Understanding N line Current in Systems with Single-Phase Loads...
Understanding the IEEE 519–2014 Standard for Harmonics The IEEE 519-2014 standard establishes criteria for voltage and current harmonics distortion in electrical system design. It provides detailed explanations of the existing voltage and current waveforms throughout the system and sets waveform distortion goals for system designers. The standard undergoes periodic updates to stay align...
How to calculate THD and PF？ Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Analysis and Power Factor Evaluation Within this discussion, we'll explore methodologies for gauging total harmonic distortion alongside computations for power factor. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a metric reflecting the amalgamation of harmonic frequencies juxtaposed against the primary frequency—such as 60Hz—on...
Introduction This blog compares harmonic mitigation techniques across various applications in real time. It examines different aspects of active and passive series and shunt filters, focusing on reducing harmonic loading in drive systems. It discusses the pros and cons of parallel and series approaches, as well as active and passive solutions, supplemented by practical results from several case st...
Overview As regulatory authorities impose ever-stricter requirements for power quality, utilities increasingly want to know which customer is imposing harmonics and flicker on the utility power system. As a result, we are often asked if we can determine the “direction” of harmonic power flow, and what can be done about flicker. Harmonic Power Flow Harmonics, like fundamental frequencie...
How Harmonics Form, Spread, and Clean Up in Non-Linear Loads 1. Introduction The industrial revolution changed life with technology, notably electrical power globally distributed by utilities. Today, power quality is essential for constant equipment operation, demanding glitch-free, stable power for domestic and industrial users. Utilities mandate high-quality equipment to prevent system power iss...
