Understanding the IEEE 519–2014 Standard for Harmonics The IEEE 519-2014 standard establishes criteria for voltage and current harmonics distortion in electrical system design. It provides detailed explanations of the existing voltage and current waveforms throughout the system and sets waveform distortion goals for system designers. The standard undergoes periodic updates to stay align...
Neutral current and Active harmonic filter Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) and Neutral Current Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) is used to improve power quality, by harmonics filtering, reactive power compensation and 3 phase balancing in power systems. Harmonics are voltage or current waveforms that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. They can cause various power quality issues, includin...
Introduction This blog compares harmonic mitigation techniques across various applications in real time. It examines different aspects of active and passive series and shunt filters, focusing on reducing harmonic loading in drive systems. It discusses the pros and cons of parallel and series approaches, as well as active and passive solutions, supplemented by practical results from several case st...
Abstract This article explores the measurement of electric current using optical fibers, primarily through the Faraday effect, also known as the magneto-optic effect. Fiber-Optic Current Sensors (FOCS) offer high accuracy, modularity, and easy installation. They provide isolation of the measuring part from the primary technology and can measure inside transformers, including winding temperature. T...
How to eliminate harmonic components in power systems? Harmonics can significantly impact power systems, leading to transformer failures, motor burnouts, nuisance tripping of circuit breakers, and overheating of neutral conductors and other components in a power distribution network. This overheating can be severe enough to cause electrical fires. Nonlinear loads, which draw current ...
Is solar photovoltaic inverter a harmonic source? In general, the contribution of current harmonics from solar PV inverters does not pose a significant power quality issue. The current total harmonic distortion (ITHD) from a quality-brand inverter is typically low and negligible compared to harmonics-producing loads such as variable speed drives, where ITHD for a typical 6-pulse drive ranges betwe...
Reactive Power Compensation and Overcompensation Reactive Power Compensation and Over compensation are closely related concepts in power systems management, particularly in the context of maintaining an optimal power factor and ensuring the efficient operation of electrical networks. Reactive Power Compensation Reactive Power is the component of electrical power that oscillates between the source ...
Abstract Harmonic distortion in power systems is a critical challenge that electrical engineers face, especially in today's complex and technology-driven environments. The proliferation of non-linear loads—such as variable frequency drives, power electronic converters, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)—has led to an increase in harmonic distortions that degrade the quality of po...
