As electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to grow across Europe, Italy is accelerating its efforts to expand charging infrastructure. To support this transition, YTElect recently delivered 300 units of 22 kW three-phase AC charging stations to an Italian distributor — a major step toward strengthening the country’s public and private charging network. This deployment underscores YTEl...
The choice between installing an Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) on the power side (at the Point of Common Coupling - PCC) versus the load side (at the source of harmonics) is a critical design decision with significant technical and financial implications. Here is a detailed analysis comparing both installation strategies. Executive Summary Load-Side Installation (Local Compensation): Targets s...
Part 1: Power Distribution - The "Highway System" for Electricity Power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity from the generation plant to the end-user (homes, businesses, industries). Think of it as the local and regional road network that brings goods from a central warehouse to your doorstep. Key Components of a Distribution System: Distribution Substations: Receiv...
Power Quality Survey: A Comprehensive Practical Guide fromPlanning to Implementation The stable operation of power systems is the core guarantee for industrial production, commercial operations, and even daily life. However, power quality issues such as voltage sags, harmonic pollution, and grounding abnormalities often lead to equipment failures, reduced production efficiency, and even safet...
The pursuit of perfect power quality is undergoing a fundamental shift, driven by a new semiconductor material: Silicon Carbide (SiC) . Comparing a traditional Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) with a SiC-based model reveals more than incremental upgrades; it showcases a leap in performance, efficiency, and capability. For decades, traditional AHFs have relied on silicon-based IGBTs. These components w...
Active Harmonic Filters (AHF): A Simple Guide to Cleaner Electricity Electricity is part of our daily life. It powers factories, schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and homes. Today, many devices such as computers, chargers, elevators, solar systems, and electric vehicles use advanced electronics. While these devices are useful, they can also make electricity “messy” and harder to co...
Modern power systems face a hidden threat: resonance. This occurs when harmonic currents from non-linear loads (like VFDs and rectifiers) match the electrical system's natural frequency. The result? Dangerous amplification of harmonic voltages and currents, leading to capacitor failures, overheating, and equipment damage. Traditional passive filters can ironically cause this problem by introducing...
The Principle of High-Voltage Passive Filtering In high-voltage power systems, the widespread application of non-linear loads such as electric arc furnaces, frequency converters, and rectifiers generates a large amount of harmonic currents. These harmonics not only cause power grid voltage distortion and increase line losses but also may interfere with the operation of precision equipment and dama...
