POWER QUALITY
Power quality refers to the measure of the electrical power that is delivered to a facility or equipment. It includes the voltage level, frequency, and waveform of the power, as well as the presence or absence of harmonic distortion and transients. Power quality is important because poor power quality can cause equipment failures, damage to electronic devices, and power outages.
POOR POWER QUALITY
Power quality issues can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
-
Voltage sags and swells: These are temporary drops or increases in voltage level that can cause equipment failure or damage.
-
Harmonic distortion: This is caused by non-linear loads, such as electronic devices, which can create harmonic frequencies that can interfere with the normal operation of equipment.
-
Transients: These are short-duration voltage spikes or surges that can cause damage to equipment or cause it to malfunction.
-
Power outages: These are caused by a failure of the electrical grid or equipment, and can result in a complete loss of power.
Power Quality Analysis
Power quality analysis is a process used to evaluate the quality of the electrical power that is being supplied to a facility or equipment. The goal of power quality analysis is to identify any issues that may be affecting the performance of the equipment or causing damage to the electrical system.
The power quality analysis process typically includes the following steps:
​
-
Identify the problem: The first step in power quality analysis is to identify the problem or symptoms that are being experienced. This can include issues such as equipment failures, power outages, or damage to electronic devices.
-
Data collection: The next step is to collect data on the electrical power being supplied to the facility or equipment. This can include measurements of voltage, current, frequency, and waveform, as well as the presence or absence of harmonic distortion and transients.
-
Data analysis: The collected data is analyzed to identify any power quality issues that may be affecting the facility or equipment. The data can be analyzed using specialized software or by a qualified power quality analyst.
-
Report generation: A report is generated summarizing the findings of the power quality analysis, including any issues that have been identified, and recommendations for how to address these issues.
-
Implementation: Based on the report, the appropriate actions are taken to address the identified issues, such as installing power quality equipment, implementing energy-efficient practices, or modifying the electrical system.
