Power Quality Harmful effects of poor quality


Industry resorting to power from DG sets for critical operations due to frequent and unscheduled interruptions, unstable voltage etc. Poor PF results in higher T&D Losses. Harmonics result in damage to capacitors, other equipment, overheating etc

Distortion Limits - Effects


Difficult to establish a correlation between distortion amplitude and harmful effects. Effect Eff of f voltage l distortions di i on generation i of f current harmonics in a plant is also difficult to predict. Consequently, it is difficult to pinpoint when harmonics mitigation should be resorted to. Harmonics analysis followed by monitoring is the only way.

Relevance of K Factor

( Source : Xitron Technologies)

Harmonic currents cause overheating in transformers and other equipment. K Factor defines the heating effect of harmonics. K Factor 1.0 indicates linear load with no harmonics. Transformer supplying non linear loads may require de-rating.

Relevance of K Factor

( Source : Xitron Technologies)

RMS load current maybe higher than indicated by y KVA load. Increase in Eddy currents due to harmonics generates additional heat. heat Either oversize de-rated transformer or transformer with higher K factor will be required

Crest Factor

( Source: Environmental Potentials)

Crest factor is ratio of peak voltage to rms value in a voltage waveform. For sinusoidal waveform Crest factor is 2 Lower crest factor indicates flat topped waveform whereas crest factor higher than 1.41 indicates spiky shape. Crest factor has relevance in the harmonics content of a waveform.

Effect of Harmonics on Power Factor


( Source: Environmental Potentials)

Power factor is cos , where is the phase difference between current and voltage. Power is calculated from VI Cos. When distorted waveshapes are present, expression i for f power becomes b more complex l and d meaning of PF has to be enlarged. It is then called Displacement Power factor.

Solution for Power Factor


Power Quality Audit can indicate sources or loads which have low PF. Installation of PFI Panel consisting of PF Controller with Capacitors, Contactors etc Install Intelligent Power Factor Controller if capacitors with manual control already exist. If capacitors are inadequate for achieving required PF, then capacitors will have to be added.

Monitoring Harmonics
Necessity for monitoring arises when some untoward incidents in power distribution occur. Initially I i i ll a full f ll fledged fl d d harmonic h i analysis l i should h ld be b carried i d out to establish the extent of the problem. In this analysis p of individual harmonic at all loads of amplitude significance should be measured and solution implemented. Thereafter, Thereafter routinely it maybe necessary to monitor THD at such loads to verify and establish that no deterioration takes place.

Effect of Harmonics on Power Factor


Capacitors used for PF improvement may get damaged g g and even blow up p due to harmonics as capacitors offer low p to high g frequency q y currents. impedance PF Capacitors resonating with inductive loads can also cause damage in the circuit due to heavy voltage build up.

True RMS vs Average Sensing


Meters can be of two types Average sensing or true rms. There is significant difference in measurement when waveform distortions are present. present True rms is .707 of peak value in perfect sinusoid or q DC level which produces p same heating g effect. equivalent Av sensing for perfect sinusoid is the same. When waveform is other than sinusoid av sensing value can be higher or lower depending on the waveform. waveform
