The cost of poor power quality.ppt
1. Power Quality
The performance and stability of the electricity supply, compared
with the utility’s technical standards and the requirements of
users.
2. Power Quality Problems
Transient and longer disturbances to the stability of the power
supply. These can be caused:
• internally by the user
• by outside agencies
• or by the electricity utility
3. Examples of Power Quality Problems
Normal supply
Transient
Short interruption
Surge
Sag
Continuous distortion
4. Power Quality Incidents
Incident Resulting costs
Transient Loss of computer data, financial
transactions
Short interruption Product out of specification
Longer interruption Product destroyed
Lightning strike Damage to electrical and
electronic systems
Overloaded neutral conductor Fire, damage to electrical installation
5. Some Power Quality Solutions
• dual supply from utility
• stand-by generation
• uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs)
• power conditioners (filters, solid-state stabilizers)
• energy storage (batteries, capacitors, flywheels)
• lightning protection, current arrestors, surge protection
• electrical installation design or reinforcement
• diagnosis and consultancy
