Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

The course consists of three weeks of materials and is focused on modeling and control of grid-tied power electronics. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...

Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...

How to measure harmonics in a power system. Methodologies for reducing power system harmonics. A look at "triplen" harmonics. The IEEE standard 3002.8-2018, “Recommended Practice for Conducting ...

Electric motor power efficiency has taken center stage. Individuals, corporations, and governments are increasingly interested in saving power, now that technology can make it possible and economy ...

It's essential to understand how power and energy calculations relate, especially with the increased importance of energy efficiency. Calculations of power and energy are relatively straightforward ...
