What is a Power Conversion System PCS?
A power conversion system is a mono- or bidirectional converter that can control the charging and discharging of batteries, perform AC and DC conversions, and directly supply power to an AC load in the absence of a power grid.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Smart Grid
A smart grid is the logical consequence of AMI solutions and the result of an evolutionary process. It is necessary to test and gradually incorporate new controls, notably the SCADA components.

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 from decreased THD in the grid.

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 connected to the grid must start up in order to meet demand when that plant disconnects.

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 for this generation, but also for a better future.

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.

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.
