Battery energy storage systems (BESSes) act as reserve energy that can complement the existing grid to serve several different purposes. Potential grid applications are listed in Figure 1 and categorized as either power or energy-intensive, i.e., requiring a large energy reserve or high power capability. They can also be classified according to the deployment time scale, which ranges from millisec...
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...
Introduction Power quality refers to the characteristics of electric power supplied to end users, particularly its ability to ensure the proper functioning of electrical devices. With the increasing use of sensitive equipment such as programmable logic controllers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and computers in modern industries, the tolerance for power disturbances such as voltage dips, swell...
Abstract: Utility power system harmonic problems can often be solved using a comprehensive approach including site surveys, harmonic measurements, and computer simulations. This case study presents the results for a commercial facility harmonic evaluation. The simulations were completed using the PSCAD program. The analysis evaluates the effects of transformer connections to determine the har...
