2 Recover Lost Dollars Demand Side Electrical Energy Savings By Improving Distribution System Efficiency, Capacity and Power Quality Presented by Benjamin Rosolowski

3 Basic Issues Related to Electrical Distribution Reliability Capacity Safety Operating Costs

4 Terms & Definitions Sinusoidal Wave Forms Power Quality Electrical Loads Types Harmonics RMS Power Factor

5 Nature of a Sine Wave 1 cycle 360 degrees 1/60 second Positive peak AMPLITUDE AMPLITUDE Negative peak ZERO CROSSING WAVE ANGLE IN DEGREES (OR TIME)

6 Utilities Typically Supply Pure Efficient Power

7 Terms & Definitions Sinusoidal Wave Forms Power Quality

8 What is Power Quality? Power Quality is the quality of the electric power supplied to electrical equipment. There is no single way to completely quantify the quality of Power. Poor power quality can result in misoperation of the equipment and higher energy costs.

9 Most Common Power Quality Issues Voltage sags, dips & swells Voltage & Current Distortion Transients Harmonics Voltage Unbalance & Regulation Flicker Frequency variations Inrush Poor Power Factor

10 Poor power quality is reflected in your monthly electric bill as increased kw/kva (Demand) and kwh (Usage).

11 Symptoms of power quality problems can be categorized into two main areas: Equipment failure and misoperation Economic considerations

12 Terms & Definitions Sinusoidal Wave Forms Power Quality Electrical Load Types Resistive, Inductive Linear vs. Non Linear

13 Electrical Distribution System 64kV Utility Feed Typical Plant Loads Buss Duct DC Drives VFD s Outlets 480V/277V Xformer Motors Lighting 13.2kV/480V Dist. Xformer 2000A 3 Switchgear UPS s PC s MDP 400A 208V/120V HVAC Robotics Induction Furnace ARC Welder VFD s Typical Office Loads

14 Examples of Resistive Loads Incandescent Light Bulb Hot Plate Electric Hot Water Tank

15 Examples of Inductive Loads Transformers Motors Lighting Ballasts Induction Furnaces

16 Linear & Non-Linear Linear Load - The current waveform looks like the voltage waveform Non-linear Load The current waveform does not look like the voltage waveform The more the current looks like the voltage, the more linear the load

17 What do Non-Linear Loads have in common? Convert AC into DC Contain some kind of rectifier Induce harmonic currents React with the source to produce harmonic voltage distortion

18 Linear & Non-Linear Loads What is important? Linear Loads Draw their power at 60 Hz Non-linear Loads Draw their power from 60 Hz ; however, they reflect large amounts of harmonic current back into the distribution system

23 Terms & Definitions Sinusoidal Wave Forms Power Quality Electrical Loads Types Harmonics

24 What are Harmonics? Integer multiples of the fundamental frequency (Voltage or Current at 60 hertz)

25 Table of Harmonics HARMONIC FREQUENCY U.S. POWER AIRCRAFT

26 Harmonic Waveforms Algebraically add and subtract to distort the fundamental waveform FUNDAMENTAL 3rd HARMONIC AMPLITUDE 5th HARMONIC WAVE ANGLE

27 Poor Power Quality ( Dirty ) <60%

28 Symptoms of Harmonic Problems Overheated phase conductors, panels, and transformers Random tripping of circuit breakers Premature failure of transformers and UPS systems Reduced system capacity Very high neutral currents Low Power Factor

29 Electrical Distribution System 64kV Utility Feed Typical Plant Loads Buss Duct DC Drives VFD s Outlets 480V/277V Xformer Motors Lighting 13.2kV/480V Dist. Xformer 2000A 3 Switchgear UPS s PC s MDP 400A 208V/120V HVAC Robotics Induction Furnace ARC Welder VFD s Typical Office Loads

30 Terms & Definitions Sinusoidal Wave Forms Power Quality Electrical Loads Types Harmonics RMS

31 What is RMS? (Root Mean Square) & Why is it Important?

32 Definition of RMS Values (rms means root mean square) Q I ( rms ) = I 2 n n= 1 I I 2 I 2 I 2... I ( rms ) = w n I ( rms ) = = 93 amps

33 Why is RMS Important? The importance of RMS voltage and current are that they can be directly used to calculate the total or true power.
