Published by Amna Ahmad All repetitive waveforms can be composed of combinations of many sinusoidal waves. Any waveform can be analyzed to determine the component quantities. In this article, learn how to use Fourier Analysis to determine the amplitudes of harmonic components and their phase relationship to the fundamental component in various periodic non-sinusoidal waveforms.Continue reading “Harmonics Analysis: Using Fourier to Analyze Waveforms”

Influence of HV LC Filter on Lightning Overvoltages in Gas-Insulated Switchgear Substations
Published by Marcin SZEWCZYK, Tomasz KUCZEK, Mariusz STOSUR, Wojciech PIASECKI, Marek FLORKOWSKI, Marek FULCZYK, ABB Corporate Research Center in Krakow, Poland Abstract. In the present paper simulations of the propagation of lightning overvoltages in a typical HV GIS substation are presented. The influence of HV LC filter on maximum overvoltages peak values was analyzed. Additionally,Continue reading “Influence of HV LC Filter on Lightning Overvoltages in Gas-Insulated Switchgear Substations”

The Trouble With Capacitors Part 2
Published by R. Fehr, P.E., Engineering Consultant, Jan 1, 2004 Here’s how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month’s article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components are exposed to transient voltages and currents produced by energizing and de-energizing these devices. Those transientsContinue reading “The Trouble With Capacitors Part 2”
The Trouble With Capacitors Part 1
Published by R. Fehr, P.E., Engineering Consultant, Dec 1, 2003 Although shunt capacitors offer several advantages at all voltage levels, those advantages come at a price. Not only must you purchase, install, and maintain capacitor equipment, you must be able to switch it in and out of service to get the most from the system.Continue reading “The Trouble With Capacitors Part 1”
Voltage Magnification and Nuisance Tripping during Capacitor Bank Switching
Published by Electrotek Concepts, Inc., PQSoft Case Study: Voltage Magnification and Nuisance Tripping during Capacitor Bank Switching, Document ID: PQS0902, Date: October 15, 2009. Abstract: The application of utility capacitor banks has long been accepted as a necessary step in the efficient design of utility power systems.
