TDD vs. THD: An In-depth Analysis and Comparison Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Total Demand Distortion (TDD) are critical parameters that help monitor and control the level of harmonics present in electrical systems. While they both measure harmonic distortion, there are critical differences between them that engineers and technicians need to understand. THD: Total Harmonic Distortion...
With the growing adoption of energy-efficient technologies, electronics have become integral to modern power systems. Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) in office equipment and LED lighting, Variable Frequency/Speed Drives (VF/SDs) for induction motors, and inverters that convert DC power from photovoltaic cells to Mains Frequency AC are prime examples of how these systems enhance power usage eff...
What are the relationship of Active Harmonic Filter, capacitor banks and reactors? Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs), capacitor banks, and reactors are essential components used in electrical networks to manage power quality, reactive power compensation, and harmonic mitigation. When these devices are combined effectively in a network, they can help improve system performance, energy efficiency, and ...
How to Avoid Non-Compliance with Power Factor Requirements In the world of industrial and commercial power management, maintaining an optimal power factor is critical. Poor power factor not only leads to inefficiencies in energy usage but can also result in hefty penalties imposed by utility companies. Understanding the importance of power factor correction can save businesses substantial costs an...
Voltage Unbalance: Causes, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies This state of imbalance not only affects power quality but can also damage equipment and reduce energy efficiency. For example, using SPC (Static Phase Converter) for dynamic adjustment within the distribution station can effectively improve this situation; at the same time, users should also pay attention to reasonable load configurati...
What is Total Harmonic Distortion & How AHF Can Help In this blog post, we will explore what THDi is and why it is important. We will also discuss how Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) can help reduce problems caused by harmonics. What is Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi)? Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi) represents the distortion in an electrical current waveform because of the presence of harmon...
How does Static var generator reduce kva demand? A Static Var Generator (SVG) reduces kVA demand through the following mechanisms: 1. Dynamic Reactive Power Compensation Real-Time Adjustment: SVG provide real-time reactive power support by injecting or absorbing reactive power (kVAR) as needed. This dynamic response helps maintain voltage levels, reducing the overall kVA demand. 2. Improved Power ...
Abstract This article introduces a method for short-term forecasting of photovoltaic (PV) generation. The proposed method falls within the category of physical methods and relies on numerical weather forecasts. Forecasting was achieved by utilizing a PV source model in the OpenDSS software. The calculated results were compared to actual measurements taken from operational PV micro-installations. A...
