Power Quality Analysis

Find Out What It's All About

CareLabs examines the power quality for France businesses. Our goal is to protect your appliances, electrical installations, and electrical equipment from any problems brought on by unstable power supplies. 

What is Involved

Today’s data collection, monitoring, and measurement equipment is widely used by several organizations and an increasing number of individual users. This equipment is very susceptible to power supply variations. The voltage fluctuation spectrum, which is a common feature of distributed power, is something that very few electrical equipments are designed to withstand. 

Concerns about equipment installation, control, protection, and power conditioning may be resolved with the help of CareLabs.

The Goal of the Power Quality Analysis is to

power-quality-3
  • The assessment of differences between the load and the electrical system.
  • Analyzing the workplace to improve simulation methods for providing power quality solutions.
  • Predicting the efficacy and performance of load equipment.
  • Increase the machine’s reliability and power factor.
  • Limit your consumption of energy.
  • To stop malfunctions and disruptions.
  • Reducing power quality anomalies such as transients, spikes, and harmonics.
  • Assist in avoiding PLC hang-ups and voltage/frequency spikes.
  • Among other things, to avoid nuisance tripping, capacitor explosion, and transformer overheating.
  • Significantly cut back on utility costs.
  • Make the electrical network and its parts more durable.
  • Verify the stability of electrical equipment by inspecting it.

Power Quality Analysis Is Necessary

All electrical networks have supply interruptions, which happen more often when power lines are damaged by storms, natural disasters, or accidents. Power supply fluctuations are entirely normal. The characteristics of power supplied by an electricity network are subject to three different forms of fluctuations, disturbances, and distortions. 

  1. When a frequency exceeds its typical frequency range, it deviates from it.
  2. Voltage disruptions occur when the voltage form is maintained but the voltage amplitude is greater than the normal range.
    1.  Short-lived fluctuations include voltage drops (dips) and spikes that last no more than a minute.
    2.  Voltage fluctuations of a lengthy duration are under voltages and over voltages that continue longer than a minute.
    3.  Unbalanced voltage is caused by an unequal load distribution between the phases, which causes significant equipment heating.
    4. Voltage differences between neutral and ground.
  3. Disturbances brought on by voltage distortion, which occurs when the voltage is neither sinusoidal or homogeneous in shape.
    1. Device heating, increased losses, inefficient power utilization, and resonance problems are all caused by harmonics and inter harmonics.
    2.  Short-duration transients that have the potential to harm switch contact surfaces, produce system inefficiency and hasten the breakdown of motor drives and control.

What is Covered in a Power Quality Analysis?

The following techniques can be used to detect different power quality disruptions:  

  • Harmonic Analysis: This technique makes use of computer algorithms to pinpoint and foresee potential harmonic problems as well as reduction techniques. 
  • Surge and transient analysis: These phenomena will be found in this inquiry. 
  • Analysis of voltage dips and peaks: This study would chart the value and direction of the voltage’s transient rise and fall. 
  • Reactive force evaluation of the preferred reactive power at the distribution and load ends will be determined by this investigation. 
  • Analysis of captive electricity to meet demand and reduce energy surcharges and fuel use, this research would measure and synchronize captive power. 
  • Load Flow Analysis: Based on the stated operating parameters, this analysis predicts power flow magnitudes, power factors, voltage levels, and losses in system branches.
