STATCOMs (Static Synchronous Compensators), APFs (Active Harmonic Filters), and SVGs (Static Var Generators) are devices used for power quality management in electrical power systems.
Learn about its applications in industrial settings and on transmission lines.
In the fast-paced world of power quality, reactive power management is crucial for maintaining the stability and efficiency of electrical systems. Two key technologies in this field are STATCOM and SVC.
Although we have already discussed the requirements of the Network Code in detail in previous articles, the issue of assessing non-compliance and the resulting penalties is just as important.
One question we often receive is about the exact role of the Federal Electricity Commission in monitoring and enforcing the Grid Code.
Welcome to an exciting journey through the history and future of electricity! Today, we’ll not only pay tribute to the titans of the War of the Currents—Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, and George Westinghouse—but also discover how their legacy lives on.
Let’s take a moment to feel nostalgic and travel back to the 19th century. Thomas Edison, an inventor with a brilliant mind, was immersed in a challenge that would lead him to revolutionize the world as we know it: creating the first incandescent light bulb.
Let’s imagine for a moment that we have the mission of watering a majestic tree. You’re probably already picturing the steps, right? We connect the hose to the water source, turn on the tap, aim the stream and… voilà, the tree enjoys its refreshing shower.
What is a harmonic? When we hear the word "harmonic", the first thing that probabli comes to our minds is the musical instrument immortalized by Billy Joel in his song "Pianoman".
At DIRAM, we understand that every electrical installation has its own unique challenges and requirements. That is why we offer highly customizable STATCOM solutions, specifically designed to optimize power quality for our customers in medium- and high-voltage systems, as well as renewable energy power plants.
In a world moving toward sustainability—one dominated by solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles—there is one critical pillar that often goes unnoticed: power quality.
Imagine you're riding a bike down a winding street. When you ride a bike, you use two types of energy: one to move forward and the other to maintain your balance. Even though you´re moving forward, at every turn you spend energy by leaning and adjusting your direction to stay balanced and avoid falling.
