Power Quality Challenges: An Invisible Barrier to Economic Growth Electricity access has made significant strides across the globe, and more people than ever are connecting to the power grid. However, even in regions where access is available, many face a more insidious issue: poor power quality. This issue, which is often less visible than frequent power outages, presents a major challenge...
Clean Power Solutions for Modern Office Towers The power networks in today’s skyscrapers and large office buildings face increasingly complex challenges. From nonlinear loads like elevators, LED lighting, and IT systems to harmonic pollution affecting the power supply's quality, maintaining optimal power quality is critical. This blog explores how the YTPQC Active Harmonic Filters effectivel...
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...
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...
