Mitigating Harmonics to Maintain Data Center Reliability Data center operations depend heavily on reliable electric power, as even minor disruptions in power quality can significantly affect performance and stability. Industry studies show that approximately 33% of all data center outages result from power quality issues. These problems cause costly downtime. They can also lead to data corruption,...
Advantages of YT Electric SVC Over Capacitor Banks In industrial and commercial power systems, maintaining a balanced power factor is critical for efficient operation, reduced energy costs, and overall system stability. Reactive power compensation is a key technique used to improve power factor and stabilize the voltage profile of the system. Traditionally, capacitor banks have been w...
I. INTRODUCTION A small entity of electrical network known as Microgrid provides secure and reliable energy supply to the critical loads of communities. It also provides a sustainable and self dependent energy supply to communities in remote area where there is no access or facility for main grid power system. MG should be capable of operating either in on-gird or off-grid mode. MG incorporates se...
How to Select the Solution for Power Quality Issues Poor power quality can lead to significant costs. Not only can it result in power losses, but damaged equipment can be even more expensive, especially if it causes manufacturing downtime. Often, power quality issues aren’t immediately obvious to the untrained eye. Common problems like low power factor, voltage imbalances, inrush-induced sag...
Guide to Selecting Active Harmonic Filters In the realm of modern electrical power systems, the significance of active harmonic filters (AHFs) cannot be overstated. They are the guardians of power quality, ensuring that electrical equipment operates smoothly by effectively counteracting harmonic distortions. When it comes to making a purchase decision for an AHF, a multitude of critical fac...
Poor power quality — characterized by fluctuations and/or persistently low or high voltages — has far-reaching consequences and should receive much more attention. Like lack of access, poor power quality holds back economic growth. But it is much harder to track and its prevalence is unknown because systems to measure it are not in place. We installed sensors across Nigeria to assess p...
Effects of Power Quality Issues on Industry Power quality problems can affect how industries operate in both technical and financial ways. Improving power quality can help reduce these problems and make equipment work better and more efficiently. Using tools like active harmonic filters and static var generators can improve power quality. This helps reduce downtime and extends equipment life. This...
Reactive Power Compensation in Photovoltaic Power Generation: A Case Study 1. Introduction As the world moves towards a greener future, China has set ambitious "Dual Carbon" targets, which have propelled the photovoltaic (PV) power generation industry into an era of unprecedented growth and potential. The State Council's plan for achieving peak carbon emissions by 2030 envisions an installe...
