Case Study for Obtaining Power Quality Grid-Code Compliance

Published by Dirk A. J. van der Bank, and Kyle Lass, Energize, July 2018 The practical implications of obtaining power quality (PQ) grid-code compliance for category C photovoltaic (PV) renewable power plants (RPP) are described in this article. Successful harmonic mitigation was implemented via means of the installation of active harmonic filters (AHF) at lowContinue reading “Case Study for Obtaining Power Quality Grid-Code Compliance”

The Quality of Electric Power Supplied into the Grid by Co-Generation Units

Published by Jiri JANSA, Petr MOLDRIK, Daniel MINARIK, VSB – Technical University of Ostrava Abstract. This paper deals with the utilisation of firedamp for combined heat and electric power generation. The firedamp is gained from hard-coal mines and can be combusted in a co-generation units with gas-engine. This process involves more efficient utilisation of firedamp.Continue reading “The Quality of Electric Power Supplied into the Grid by Co-Generation Units”
