How to scientifically configure Static Var Generators (SVGs) and Active Power Filters (APFs) in wind farm applications. Wind farms, particularly those using Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs), are not only power producers but also major sources of power quality issues. The need and logic for configuring mitigation equipment here are significantly different from traditional commercial and indu...
How to scientifically configure Static Var Generators (SVGs) and Active Power Filters (APFs) in photovoltaic (PV) power plants. The power quality management of PV plants shares similarities with wind farms but has its own unique emphases. The core logic is: PV inverters are themselves harmonic sources and require reactive power support, while the grid has strict requirements for reactive powe...
The Short Summary A healthy AHF typically produces two types of noise: A low hum from the internal reactor (inductor) and cooling fans. This is normal. A high-frequency "switching" whine or buzz from the Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs). This is usually very faint. If the noise becomes loud, intrusive, or changes significantly, it is often a sign of a problem. Detailed Breakdow...
The YTPQC-SVG Static Var Generator redefines reactive power control through its blend of cutting-edge hardware and intelligent design. At its heart lies a 3-level IGBT inverter capable of delivering sinusoidal output currents with minimal harmonic distortion—a critical advantage over conventional systems. This ensures smooth, jitter-free compensation even under abrupt loa...
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing for an Active Harmonic Filter AHF is critical and non-negotiable. An AHF(APF) is a power electronics device (like a high-frequency inverter) that injects canceling currents into a noisy electrical system. If poorly designed, it can become a significant source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) itself, disrupting other equipment. Conversely, it mu...
Stabilizing Renewable Energy Projects with SVG and AHF – An Engineer’s Perspective In the rapidly growing renewable energy sector, ensuring grid stability is one of the biggest challenges. Solar and wind power, while sustainable, are inherently variable. Voltage fluctuations and harmonic distortions are common issues that can compromise both safety and efficiency of power transmission....
When we talk about modern power systems, two technical domains often overlap but are not always fully understood together: electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and power quality. Both play crucial roles in ensuring that electrical and electronic equipment perform reliably and efficiently. For companies and industries adopting Static Var Generators (SVGs) and Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs)...
As the world accelerates toward cleaner energy, the grid is being asked to carry far more than it was ever designed for. Solar parks, wind farms, and EV charging stations are connecting at record speed. On the surface, this looks like a straightforward victory for decarbonization. Yet behind the scenes, one invisible factor quietly determines whether this energy transition can succeed: power quali...
