How Power Distribution Systems Work?Electrical power supplied to residential, commercial, and industrial buildings is typically generated by a utility at a centralized location and then transmitted and distributed through the utility’s power transmission and distribution system to its end users. A utility's power transmission and distribution system is responsible for controlling, pro...
TDD vs. THD: An In-depth Analysis and Comparison Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Total Demand Distortion (TDD) are critical parameters that help monitor and control the level of harmonics present in electrical systems. While they both measure harmonic distortion, there are critical differences between them that engineers and technicians need to understand. THD: Total Harmonic Distortion...
What is Total Harmonic Distortion & How AHF Can Help In this blog post, we will explore what THDi is and why it is important. We will also discuss how Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) can help reduce problems caused by harmonics. What is Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi)? Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi) represents the distortion in an electrical current waveform because of the presence of harmon...
Power Quality Issues in Photovoltaic Projects and Solutions As the demand for renewable energy continues to rise globally, photovoltaic (PV) projects have become an essential component of the energy mix. Solar energy, while offering significant environmental benefits, introduces several challenges related to power quality when integrated into the grid. In this blog, we will explore the common powe...
Introduction In today’s world, power quality matters more than ever. You’ve probably heard terms like "Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)" and "Power Factor" thrown around, especially when dealing with electrical systems. But what do they really mean, and how can understanding them improve your system's performance? Let’s break it down. What is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)...
What Are TDD and THD? — A Comprehensive Explanation of Harmonic Distortion Indicators In power systems and power quality management, harmonic distortion is a crucial issue that cannot be ignored. Two key indicators used to measure harmonic distortion are THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and TDD (Total Demand Distortion). These terms are commonly referenced in technical specifications a...
Access to electricity is expanding globally, but challenges persist. While more people are gaining connections to power grids, issues such as frequent outages and poor power quality remain widespread, particularly in developing regions. Poor power quality, often characterized by voltage fluctuations and inadequate electrical performance, affects millions of users. It hampers their ability to use e...
