Understanding Electric Frequencies: 50 Hz and 60 Hz Power frequencies vary across countries, and understanding these differences is essential when traveling. Before your trip, check the power frequency used in your destination to ensure compatibility with your devices. This simple step will help you pack the right equipment, such as adapters or converters. Use this quick guide to navigate internat...
As industries across the globe strive towards decarbonization, the steel sector is undergoing a significant transformation. The shift from traditional fossil-fuel-based steel production to more sustainable, electrified methods—commonly known as “Green Steel” production—has the potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of this crucial industry. However, with thi...
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...
Photovoltaic Power Quality: Prevent Penalties via Power Factor Management Introduction More factories and businesses now use solar power systems. But these systems can cause power quality problems. A big issue is low power factor. Power companies charge extra fees for low power factor. This article explains why solar systems hurt power factor and how YT Electric’s SVGs solve this problem. &n...
IEC vs IEEE Standards for Active Harmonic Filters Explore key differences between IEC 61000 and IEEE 519 standards for Active Power Filters (APF), including harmonic limits, testing protocols, and adaptive solutions. Discover YT Electric’s globally compliant APF systems. Why Dual Compliance Matters for APF in Global Projects? Modern power quality challenges require activ...
Both Passive Power Factor Correction(PPFC) and Active Power Factor Correction(APFC) are used to improve power factor and reduce reactive power, but they differ in complexity, cost, and performance. Passive Power Factor Correction (PPFC) Method: Uses passive components (capacitors, reactors, or filters) to compensate for reactive power. Types of Passive PFC: A. Capacitor Ba...
Think of our power grid like a giant Jenga tower. As we add more wind turbines and solar panels (the green blocks), the tower becomes wobblier. This happens because sunshine and wind change like mood swings. One minute your solar panels are pumping out power during a cloudless noon, the next they’re napping when a storm rolls in. This makes the entire electricity system feel like a weak Wi-F...
Analysis of 3 Different Power Factor Correction Solutions: Capacitors, SVG, and AHF In today’s industrial and commercial environments, ensuring power quality is more than just good practice—it’s a necessity. Poor power quality can lead to equipment malfunctions, increased utility costs, and downtime. One major aspect of power quality is the power factor—a measure of ho...
