Load Characteristics and Power Quality Issues in Commercial Buildings The main "sources of pollution" in commercial buildings include: Energy-Efficient Devices: Large quantities of LED lighting drivers, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), variable frequency drives (VFDs) for HVAC, and elevator VFDs. IT and Data Centers: Servers, computers, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies), switching po...
The metallurgical industry is a typical "severely affected area for power quality," and it is also where SVGs can deliver the most significant benefits. My explanation will be divided into two main parts: Governance Effects and Key Considerations. Part 1: The Governance Effects of Medium-High Voltage SVG in the Metallurgical Industry Production processes such as Electric Arc ...
Using Medium Voltage SVG in the metallurgical industry is not an "option," but a "necessity" concerning economic efficiency, production stability, and social responsibility. We can use a simple analogy to understand this: The power grid of a metallurgical plant is like a main water pipe supplying all equipment. High-power impact loads like electric arc furnaces and rolling mills are like gian...
Jiangsu Non Woven was founded in 2002 and has a 20-year history of non-woven fabric production, which is a high-quality manufacturer of high-end non-woven fabrics integrating R&D, production and after-sales. The factory is located in Zhitang Town, Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, a famous non-woven fabric production base in China, covering an area of 15,000 square meters, with a daily producti...
How a Copper Manufacturing Plant Solved Severe Harmonic Issues with SVG + APF Technology Real-world case study: Improving power quality, restoring capacitor operation, and eliminating production disruptions at Zhejiang Jinjia Special-Shaped Copper Co., Ltd. The Challenge: High Harmonics, Failed Capacitors, and Unstable Production Zhejiang Jinjia Special-Shaped Copper Co., Ltd., located in Changxin...
IN any system containing nonlinear loads that use phase-angle control or abrupt switching, particularly those that draw a non-sinusoidal current. The specific range of "2nd to 51st" is a classic signature of certain technologies.Here are the most common places where you would find such a wide harmonic spectrum: 1. The Classic Example: Thyristor-Controlled Reactor (TCR) in SVC Plants This is the mo...
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to grow across Europe, Italy is accelerating its efforts to expand charging infrastructure. To support this transition, YTElect recently delivered 300 units of 22 kW three-phase AC charging stations to an Italian distributor — a major step toward strengthening the country’s public and private charging network. This deployment underscores YTEl...
SVG Parallel Operation Test via CAN Communication Test Objective This test aimed to verify the performance and stability of multiple SVG (Static Var Generator) units operating in parallel via CAN communication when internal CTs are not used. Specifically, eight SVG modules were tested to evaluate their operation, communication reliability, and reactive power compensation consistency under CAN-base...
1. Why Do SVGs Generate Harmonics? Unlike ideal components, the real-world power electronic switches (IGBTs) in an SVG do not switch sinusoidally. They use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to synthesize a sinusoidal output current. This switching action is the primary source of harmonics. PWM Switching Frequency Harmonics: The output voltage of the SVG's H-Bridge inverters is a series of high-fre...
