Power Quality Analysis

Find Out What It's All About

Care Labs evaluates the power quality for German companies. Our aim is to safeguard your appliances, electrical installations, and electrical equipment against issues brought on by unstable power supplies. 

What is Involved

Data gathering, monitoring, and instrumentation equipment highly vulnerable to power supply changes is widespread among corporations and more individual users. The voltage fluctuation spectrum, which is a frequent feature of distributed energy, is something that extraordinarily little electrical equipment is designed to handle.

Care Labs can assist you with problems relating to equipment installation, control, protection, and power conditioning related to power quality.

Analysis of Power Quality:

power-quality-3
  • Evaluation of discrepancies between the load and the electrical system.
  • Analyzing the workplace to enhance power quality simulation techniques.
  • Predicting the effectiveness and functionality of load equipment
  • Improve the equipment’s dependability and power factor.
  • Limit your energy use.
  • To prevent malfunctions and interruptions.
  • Reducing anomalies in power quality such transients, spikes, and harmonics.
  • Assist in avoiding PLC lockups and voltage/frequency spikes.
  • To prevent, among other things, capacitor explosions, transformer overheating, and annoyance tripping.
  • Reduced utility expenses
  • Increase the durability of the electrical network and its parts.
  • Assess the variability resistance of electrical equipment.

Germany Requires a Power Quality Analysis

All electrical networks are prone to supply disruptions, which happen more frequently when power cables are damaged by storms, accidents, or other natural calamities. Power supply variations are very natural. The quality of the electricity delivered by a network is subject to three diverse types of fluctuations, disruptions, and distortions.

1. A frequency deviates from its range when it goes beyond or below its normal frequency range.

2. When the voltage form is preserved but the voltage amplitude is higher than usual, there are voltage disruptions.

2.1 Voltage spikes and decreases that last up to a minute are instances of transient fluctuations.

2.2 Under voltages and over voltages that last longer than a minute are both considered long duration voltage fluctuations.

2.3 Unbalanced voltage: This condition develops when the load is split unevenly across the phases, leading to severe equipment heating.

2.4 Differences in voltage between neutral and earth

3. Disturbances brought on by voltage distortion, which happens when the voltage is neither sinusoidal nor homogeneous in shape.

3.1 Device heating, higher losses, inefficient power utilization, and resonance issues are all caused by harmonics and inter-harmonics.

3.2 Short-lived transients that have the potential to harm switch contact surfaces, decrease system performance, and hasten the breakdown of motor drives and control.

What Does Power Quality Analysis Contain?

It takes several ways to spot different power quality issues, including the ones listed below:  

  • Harmonic analysis: This method employs reduction techniques in addition to computer algorithms to pinpoint and anticipate potential harmonic issues.
  • Surges and transients will be found during this study.
  • This study would look at the value and trajectory of the voltage, as well as its short-term rise and fall.
  • Evaluation of the Reactive Force The preferred reactive power at the distribution and load ends will be determined by this investigation.
  • Captive Electricity Analysis: With less fuel consumption and energy surcharges, this research would measure and synchronize captive electricity to fulfill demand.
  • Load Flow Study: Using the provided operational parameters, this analysis forecasts the amounts of power flow, power factor, voltage levels, and losses in system branches.
