Container Harbour in Gothenburg
Published by Jonny Carlsson, Unipower AB, Case Study: Container Harbour in Gothenburg, Date: November 8th, 2010. http://www.unipower.se The most important problem was the sags that were caused by the container cranes. The cranes created a lot of high reactive power during the start of the lift procedure. The high currents caused high demand on the transformerContinue reading “Container Harbour in Gothenburg”

Measuring PQ Issues in a Bus Depot Using Unipower HW and Software
Published by Unipower AB, Metallgatan 4C, 44132 Alingsås, Sweden. Email: info@unipower.se Introduction This case study explores how advanced power quality measurement technology facilitated the diagnosis of severe power quality disturbances in a bus depot. These disturbances, which neither the bus operator nor the bus manufacturer initially attributed to electrical quality issues, were ultimately traced toContinue reading “Measuring PQ Issues in a Bus Depot Using Unipower HW and Software”
Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Unbalance Mitigation and Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Network
Publishd by Ahmed A. Abdullah AL-KARAKCHI1, Enaam ALBANNA2, Alya H. AL-RIFAIE3, Northern Technical University (1,2,3) ORCID: 1. 0000-0003-1151-3015; 2. 0000-0002-3974-0116; 3. 0000-0002-7978-2193 Abstract. Unbalanced network voltage damages utility and end-user equipment. Electrified trains, single-phase distributed generators, and line-toline connected industrial loads can increase voltage imbalances. Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) at appropriate places is oneContinue reading “Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Unbalance Mitigation and Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Network”

An Overview of Harmonics in Electrical Systems
Published by Wesco | Anixter, Wesco International. What are harmonics? In an electric power system, a harmonic is a voltage or current at a multiple of the fundamental frequency of the system. Harmonics can best be described as the shape or characteristics of a voltage or current waveform relative to its fundamental frequency. When waveforms deviate from a sinewaveContinue reading “An Overview of Harmonics in Electrical Systems”
