Power Quality: Why It Matters and How YT Electric Provides Solutions What Is Power Quality, and Why Should We Care? In 2001, a Silicon Valley manufacturing company lost over $3 million in a single day due to a power outage that halted production.¹ Today, nearly 20% of the world’s electricity is wasted due to inefficiencies in power transmission and distributio...
The combination of a Static VAR Generator (SVG) and Thyristor-Switched Capacitor (TSC) creates a high-performance hybrid reactive power compensation system. This setup leverages the fast dynamic response of the SVG with the cost-effective bulk compensation capability of TSC. How SVG + TSC Works SVG (Static VAR Generator) Uses a voltage-source converter (VSC) with IGBT...
Microinverters in Residential Photovoltaic Systems Microinverters have emerged as an innovative solution for residential photovoltaic (PV) installations, enhancing energy efficiency, system reliability, and overall performance. Unlike traditional string inverters, which connect multiple solar panels to a single inverter, microinverters are installed individually beneath each solar panel, co...
Minimizing Harmonic Distortion in Microinverter Systems ACTIVE POWER FILTER SOLUTIONS Microinverters—each mounted under a single photovoltaic (PV) module—offer significant advantages for residential solar installations. However, like all inverter-based systems, they introduce harmonic distortion due to high-frequency switching. This article explores the origins, impacts, ...
Microinverters vs. String Inverters: The Future of Solar Panel Power Conversion In the rapidly evolving solar industry, the debate between microinverters and string inverters has become one of the most discussed topics among engineers, installers, and homeowners alike. Both technologies have the same core purpose—converting DC (direct current) from solar panels into usable AC (...
Boosting Solar Output in Shaded Conditions with Microinverters Shading has always been one of the biggest challenges in solar energy production. Whether it’s caused by nearby trees, chimneys, power lines, or seasonal changes in the sun’s angle, even partial shading can lead to significant power losses in a photovoltaic (PV) system. Fortunately, microinverter technology of...
Reactive power demand and charging are important concepts in electrical power systems, particularly in the context of power quality, grid stability, and efficient energy management. Here’s an explanation of both: Reactive Power Demand Reactive power (measured in VAR, Volt-Ampere Reactive) is the power required by inductive or capacitive loads to sustain electromagnetic fields in devices...
