Harmonic Mitigation By Active harmonic Filter

 



Improve electric power quality and reduce energy losses due to Harmonics. Detailed studies were carried out and the effects of poor power quality specially harmonics were analyzed on the productivity and energy consumption. Harmonic current generated by nonlinear loads like motors driven by Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) cause power system heating and add to user power bills. The harmonic related losses are present in the power cables, bus bars linking the loads with source, the power transformer itself. A more serious effect of harmonic loads served by transformer is due to an increase in winding eddy current losses. The heat generated due to harmonics must be removed in order to save electrical energy, thus leading to savings in the utility bill. Acase study where a 2.0 MVAtransformer used for powering the plant. The current harmonics is recorded with & without using the Active harmonic filter (AHF). The power parameters are recorded on side of transformer to demonstrate how the active harmonic filter can reduce the effects of harmonics and save energy. 

Amtech Electronic provided Active Harmonic Filter Solution and Energy Saving in various Industries, as you can also see in the below given application case study.

Previous System :
  • Plant was running with so many non linear loads like VFDs, UPS, Computers etc...
  • No any Harmonic Mitigation solution installed in plant.
  • Current Harmonics (THD-I) was observed around 24 - 25% at TR-4 incomer, which is much higher than the limit of 8.00% as per IEEE 519 – 1992 standards.
  • Voltage Harmonics (THD-V) was observed around 2.2 – 2.5% at TR-4 incomer, which is well within the limit of 5.00% as per IEEE 519 – 1992 standards.
  • PF Capacitors are not magnifying the Harmonics as they are detuned with 7.0 % series reactor.

Problems Observed :
  • Capacitor over heating and failures.
  • Cable heating which lead to insulation breakdown.
  • Transformer heating, equipments heating, motor heating.
  • Random fuse blowing, relay tripping, breaker tripping.
  • Limits on generator & UPS capacity

Present System :

Axpert-i-sine Active Harmonic Filter of 100 AMP(3P3W, 415 Volts) installed at LTside of TR-4. 

Previous System (Without AHF) : 
Current Harmonics (THD-I) : 24 – 25 % and Voltage Harmonics (THD-V) : 7 – 8 %

Present System (With AHF) :
        Current Harmonics (THD-I) : 2.0 – 2.5 %  and Voltage Harmonics (THD-V) : 1.5 – 2.0 %

Merits of New System :
  • Capacitor over heating and failures avoided.
  • Random Fuse blowing, relay tripping, breaker tripping avoided.
  • Transformer heating, equipment heating, cable heating avoided.
  • Contactor burnt out avoided.

Other benefits (Savings) include :
  • Reduced energy usage (kWH) and reduction in demand (kVA).
  • Reactive power (kVAR) and Apparent power (kVA) saving.
  • Improved PF and voltage quality.
  • Reduction in I2R losses in conductor.
  • Reduction in equipments losses (motors, transformers etc..)
  • Electrical equipment life and performance increased.
  • Protection of sensitive electronic equipments
  • Operating cost reduction.
  • Reduced maintenance, decrease consumption of spare parts.
  • Better capacity utilization of transformers and generators.

Amtech Offers Total Motor Control like AC Drives (also known as variable frequency drives or VFD), High Frequency Drives, Medium Voltage Drives (MVD), Soft Starters, Engineered System Solution, Battary Backup System Solution.



Amtech, we have a proven expertise in customised motor control. Since 1987, we have designed and manufactured the highest and most accurate motion control solutions for an array of industries around the world.

Our customised Variable Frequency Drives (also known as AC Drives) and motor control products provide critical performance for today’s demanding applications in markets requiring high precision and high throughput motor control solutions.

We, with our engineered systems, offer our clients a full range of services tailored to their specific needs. Right from replacing a system component, to dedicating a complete team of Amtech professionals to implement projects of varying scales, we do it all.




Reliable Drives
Since inception, Amtech has been working with the energy sectors. Our well-built, user-friendly Variable Frequency Drives ensure efficient and reliable functioning of your pumps, fans/blowers and cranes. They not only save energy, maintenance and downtime costs but also provide precise control over the process.
Minimise wear & tear and save energy
Accurate speed control of our VFDs maximise output of your pump and fan systems and reduce mechanical wear & tear, vibrations and leakages. Each of your  peration is continuously modified to demand, maintaining the required pressure as per the flow or the volume to be handled. Further, a sleep mode function in our VFDs saves energy by stopping the motor when it is not required to run.
Optimise cost
Smooth start reduces rush currents and mechanical or hydraulic stress in pipes and gaskets. Linear stops eliminate the risk of water hammer in your pumps, without the need for costly motor-controlled valves to reduce pressure spikes. Starting a fan that is rotating in the reverse direction is handled safely with a speed search function securing the correct direction and function before full speed operation.

 Here Are Several Reasons Why!


How depressed does one suppose you'd be if all of your photos, music, movies, documents and a lot of simply disappeared into thin-air sooner or later, ne'er to be recovered?

If you have ne'er asked yourself what you'd neutralise such a situation, likelihood is you're unprepared to expertise your drive dying! the primary factor you ought to apprehend if you do not already, is strictly what a tough drive is. it is a hardware unit that's engineered with disks known as "platters."

Platters area unit stacked on high of every alternative, and have heads that area unit below and on top of every drive platter. once these platters spin, the heads of the drive move "in and out", toward the middle of the platter, then towards the edge; so as to access the particular surface of every platter. To summarize, a tough drive is formed of moving elements that contain magnetic force energy and electronic equipment.

In alternative words, a tough drive is continually making friction which will eventually destroy it. Yes, each disc can fail at some purpose, the most concern is WHEN?

Here area unit the highest five Warning Signs Of Your drive Dying:

Grinding noises, rubbing sound, cleansing and clicking sounds

A good thanks to tell if your drive is dying, is noises returning from laptop|the pc} that correspond rubbing (check to make sure the rubbing is not a computer fan or store drive). Noise could be a symptom of a mechanical issue in a very drive which can eventually result in knowledge loss. Clicking sounds area unit warnings of a mechanical issue with a drive, and may


drives fail before the click sounds starting, or at the same time.

Another indication of a tough drive dying is grinding, since the arm containing the top of the drive, virtually touches the platter at that time. This creates additional Friction and well harms the "read" surface of the drive containing the information.

Please remember that tough drives will produce sounds that one could mistake for grinding, however traditional drive operation doesn't build a grinding, or cleansing or clicking sound. I extremely advocate that you just find out how your "healthy" drive sounds, thus you'll acknowledge any strange sounds and find facilitate immediately!

Your files vanish "into skinny air" for no reason

Another huge sign of your drive dying, is your files disappear while not you deleted them! A failing disc typically can have "read and write" errors, that area unit definite causes of information that disappears or becomes corrupted.

It is necessary to recollect that malware (Trojans, viruses etc) will cause corrupt or deleted files, however you ought to continuously check for virus infections (when knowledge is deleted), with smart computer code BEFORE you start to suspect your drive dying.

Your drive isn't being detected by your computer

Here is another sign of your drive dying; once your pc cannot sight your drive in the least. lets say to power on your computer, then the brand screen (POST) seems straightaway when turning on the pc and reads "Hard Disk Failure", or a connected error.

In that scenario, your drive might have disentangled or is not absolutely connected, or it might have the incorrect "jumper" setting or configuration settings (in BIOS), OR the drive might have whole died and is not any longer being detected for that reason.
