The Effects of Renewable Energy on Power Quality in the Grid

Power grid operators need to consider the total harmonic distortion. It has to be maintained as low as practicably possible. Higher power factor, lower peak currents, and more efficiency result...

Crest Factor for Voltage and Current

The crest factor can be used as additional indicator for the power quality in the grid. The impact on power transformers, circuit breakers and other elements like uninterrupted power supply...

The Efficiency of Solar Power at High Elevation

Photovoltaic panels at a higher altitude are receiving more solar radiation compared to the sea level, resulting in more generation of electricity.

The Challenges Of Electrical Power Grid Restoration

If a grid is running very close to its maximum capacity and a major event happens, e.g. fire in a generator, a whole power plant goes offline. The other plants...

Renewable Energies
The Different Types

Renewable energy technologies are becoming more popular as the cost continues to fall. These technologies have the ability to cut emissions and supply sustainable energy, which are crucial not only...

Power Grid Frequency
Why is it Important?

The grid frequency can be used to determine whether the network is in balance. If it drops below nominal, there is a higher demand than generation.

Distributed Energy Resources and Microgrid

Microgrids are used to provide power for remote or underserved communities, campuses, military bases, commercial and industrial facilities, and other critical infrastructure.

What is Residual Load?

The part of the electricity consumption that remains after deduction of the feed-ins by the two renewable energies wind and solar power is called residual load.

European Merit Order Energy Trading
Obsolete?

The merit order is an economic principle used to dispatch generation in a competitive electricity market. Any change, especially political intervention, will lead to unpredicable side effects.

Power in High Voltage Lines
Lost in Transmission

Transmission line networks today operate at or near capacity for extended periods of time, typically years. In many cases, it's necessary to enlarge the transmission capacity.

Calibration of Car Charging Stations

EV car chargers need to be calibrated correctly in order that all parties can trust in the accuracy of what's being reported and billed.

Smart Meters and Demand Response Management

Demand Response Management is an essential element of the future smart grid that helps to decrease peak demand and fluctuation in power.
