Application of Sfere Power Quality Products in Supercomputing Center

The supercomputing center is built on the basis of supercomputers to solve large and complex problems that cannot be completed by ordinary computers and servers. Compared with the early computing center, its computing capacity has made a huge leap, and its applicable fields and usage patterns have been greatly expanded. The supercomputing center is built on the basis of sufficient scientific and technological innovation capabilities and application needs, and is a concrete manifestation of a country's and region's independent innovation capabilities and comprehensive competitiveness. Large data centers have high requirements on the power supply stability of supercomputing rooms. There are a large number of UPS and switching power supplies in the communication system. While improving the power supply stability of computer rooms, such equipment will generate large 5th, 7th and 11th harmonics. Sometimes, UPS incoming line switches trip for no reason and communication is disturbed. In a domestic supercomputing center, when eliminating the harmonic hazard in the computer room, the SFR-APF active power filter was used to treat the UPS locally, which can greatly reduce the harmonic current distortion rate, effectively solve the problem of circuit breaker tripping and communication interference, and improve the reliability of power supply. In addition, SLG series harmonic elimination reactive power compensation products are used in the distribution room for centralized harmonic control, and PD194Z-9CY multi-function harmonic meter is also equipped for power quality monitoring.

On-site energy monitoring system Sfere3000 applies at the small industrial and commercial projects

Why need the small local EMS system? Since the wireless data transmission technology has fast growing in recent years which makes the possibility of the cheap and reliable data transmission provide by the web serve operator comes true. In this regard, many of the Cloud base power management software or energy management software were launched in the power distribution industry. With comprehensive software design and mature communication and data acquisition devices deployment, Cloud based PMS can dramatically improve the management efficiency and reduce human operation and maintenance costs in a long term prospect for those multi project management activities. Meanwhile, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises and business entities may not have as much multi project management demand, and those enterprises may not be able to afford the cost of devices deployment and server installation. For those projects scale is small with less monitoring devices, and short distances, what other options can they have besides cloud based power monitoring systems? Is it possible to have an on-site rather than Cloud based power monitoring system that can be developed based on the existed software, communication, and other technologies to improve the safety, reliability, and stability of power transformation and distribution system operation. Is there a management software can meet the all-need monitoring of the environment of 35kV and below voltage level power transformation and distribution systems, accelerated the digitalize and information internal sharing of the energy consuming enterprises, reduce operating manpower costs, improve productio

Hazards to Power Capacitors

(1) Hazards to Power Capacitors When there is a harmonic in the power grid, the terminal voltage increases after the capacitor is inserted, and the current through the capacitor increases more, which increases the power loss of the capacitor. For film-membrane composite dielectric capacitors, although the power loss when harmonics are allowed is 1.38 times the power loss without harmonics, the power loss when harmonics are allowed for all-film capacitors is 1.43 times that without harmonics, but if Higher harmonic content, beyond the capacitor allowable conditions, will make the capacitor over-current and overload, the power loss exceeds the above value, so that the capacitor abnormal heat, the insulation medium under the effect of the electric field and temperature will accelerate aging. Especially when the capacitor is put into the power grid where the voltage has been distorted, the harmonic of the power grid may also be exacerbated, that is, the phenomenon of harmonic expansion occurs. In addition, the presence of harmonics tends to make the voltage appear sharp. The steep-peak voltage wave easily induces partial discharge in the medium. Due to the large voltage change rate and partial discharge intensity, it can accelerate the aging of the insulating medium, thus shortening it. The service life of the capacitor. In general, for every 10% increase in voltage, the life of the capacitor is reduced by about 1/2. In addition, in the case of severe harmonics, the capacitor will bulge, breakdown or explosion. (2) Harm to Power Cables As the frequency of harmonics increases, the skin effect becomes more significant as the cross-sectional area of the cable conductor increases, resulting in an increase in the AC resistance of the conductor and a decrease in the allowable passing current of the cable. In addition, the resistance of the cable, the system bus side and the line inductanc

How Does Power Quality Products Work?

Power quality products are designed to improve the quality of electrical power by mitigating various types of power problems. These products work in different ways depending on the specific type of power problem they are designed to address. Here are some examples of how power quality products work: Voltage regulators: These devices are designed to stabilize voltage levels, regardless of fluctuations in the incoming power supply. They work by measuring the voltage level and adjusting it as necessary to maintain a steady output voltage. Surge protectors: These products protect electronic equipment from power surges, which can occur when lightning strikes or when power is restored after an outage. They work by diverting excess voltage away from the equipment, preventing damage. Harmonic filters: These products reduce harmonic distortion in the power supply, which can cause equipment to malfunction. They work by filtering out harmonics and other unwanted frequencies from the power supply. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS): These devices provide backup power in the event of a power outage. They work by drawing power from a battery or generator when the main power supply is interrupted.

The industrial trend and outlook for the motor control and protection management --- As for the functionality is concerned

PART 1. The application of the motor As the power source of the entire industry, motor has shifting the interchange between electric energy and kinetic energy by interaction between electricity and magnetism. It`s widely used by its simple structure, low cost and durability with high efficiency and reasonable performance. Nowadays, motor plays a dramatic important role in the global automation industry. It has great recognition at the metallurgy, electric power, petrochemicals, coal, mining, building materials, paper making industries. PART 2. Should not be ignored the fault of asynchronous motor Motors will have various damages such as insulation aging, mechanical damages by the influence of the grid and the load side. The consequence of the motor faults are obvious, they might cause motor damage or burning to increase the maintenance cost or even production break off and decrease the productivity. In some extreme circumstance, security accident may happen.
