Inverters are looked at by power utilities as “static” devices since they are not of the type classified as rotating machinery such as electric generators. The power companies require users, who put ...
We have a number of recognized transmission and distribution experts serving on our board of "Grid Masters." Several times each month we’ll post what we judge to be the toughest questions that also ...
Artificial neural network–based power controllers are trained using back propagation algorithm for controlling the active and reactive power of a wind-driven double fed induction generator under ...
It hasn’t been that long since humans figured out how to create power grids that integrated multiple generators and consumers. Ever since AC won the battle of the currents, grid operators have had to ...
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 ...
Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...
