ZDDQ power quality correction products are part of the solution. Most utilities charge for peak electrical demand on each month’s electrical bill. The demand charge is to allow the utilities to recoup part of their capital investment in the distribution network they operate. Each customer pays a demand charge for its peak operating load. Often inherent in the structure of these demand charges is a...

Industry background Chemical industry involves many mechanical processes with demanding quality requirements. Before any mechanical smelting, casting, or stamping, an induction melting furnace is used to melt metal. Most induction melting furnaces use a 6-pulse or 12-pulse rectifier, which produces high volumes of harmonic and reactive power. As a result, the production efficiency of induction mel...

Typical non-linear loads We will be focusing on the six pulse rectifier bridge. The 3 phase rectifier has a key role to play because a significant portion of the electrical energy is drawn from loads with this type of front-end circuit. One typical application that can be mentioned is the variable speed motor drive, which has been used for years with high growth rates in almost every industrial se...

Single busbar compensation Overview An installation with a single LV busbar is that most often encountered. This type of installation requires that the reactive power can change with respect to the methods defined previously. Compensation uses all the receiving devices of the installation and the amperage of the current transformer is determined according to the total current conducted through the...

Method for determining compensation (Power Factor correction Guidelines) Step 1 Selection of the compensation mode The location of L.V capacitors banks in an installation constitutes the mode of reactive power compensation, which may be central (one location for the entire installation), by sector or group (section-by-section), at load level, or some combination of the latter two. In principle, th...

The Graph below shows Harmonic Current Distortion in the form of THDi. This is hovering between 20 and 25%. Ideally, it should be less than 10% and preferably less than 8% THDi. The highest value of average total harmonic distortion (THDi%) across three phases was calculated from raw data. This value is 24.19%THDi and was recorded at time shown. At the same time, average line current (Amps) across...

We make a simple introduction about harmoincs in networks,welcome to communicate with us about harmonics and how to solve. General Introduction Harmonics are usually defined by two main characteristics: Their amplitude: value of the harmonic voltage or current. Their order: value of their frequency with respect to the fundamental frequency (50 Hz). Under such conditions, the frequency of a 5th ord...

The effects of harmonics on loads The following two types of effects appear in the main equipment: immediate or short-term effects and long-term effects. Immediate or short-term effects: Unwanted tripping of protection devices, Induced interference from LV current systems (remote control, telecommunications), Abnormal vibrations and noise, Damage due to capacitor thermal overload, Faulty operation...

STATCOM will be utilized in the night for power factor correction and voltage control at the terminals of an induction motor operating at poor power factor. PV solar farms produce power during the day and are completely idle in the nights. The proposed new control on PV solar system will help in increase the utilization of the PV solar system. A key component of the PV solar plant is a voltage sou...

There are a couple of principles to achieve reactive power compensation. The simplest solution is without any doubts a combination of switched passive elements, i.e. switched capacitors and inductors. Figure 1 shows qualitatively the reactive current versus connected voltage of such a solution. The reactive current depends linearly on the grid voltage and as a consequence the reactive power change...

Centralised compensation Centralised compensation by means of an automatic capacitor bank with automatic regulation offers the most simple and economical solution. The reactive power is subdivided in a number of capacitor steps that can be connected independently. A reactive power controller continuously measures the needs of the installation and connects or disconnects the capacitors until the ta...
