Power Quality

Power Quality

Explore how to use ETAP to evaluate and correct distortion and deterioration from harmonics due to the use of power electronic devices in power systems.

Harmonics impact electricity systems in operations, with increased loads on the network, premature aging of equipment, and penalties from distribution grid operators. To assist with valuation and correction, net-zero energy systems can include assets which are equipped with power electronics, such as power inverters for PV plants, energy storage, motor starter technologies, electric vehicles, IT systems and lighting systems. 

  • Harmonic Load Flow

    Simulate harmonic current and voltage sources, reduce nuisance trips, and report distortion limit violations.

  • Harmonic Frequency Scan

    Investigate power quality issue and system resonance problems

  • Harmonic Filters & Sizing

    Size harmonic filters based on a built-in filter types and configurations.

  • Grid Code Harmonic Compliance Assessment

    Grid Code Compliance Assessment evaluates compliance with utility grid code requirement

  • FlickerMeter

    FlickerMeter evaluates flicker compliance against emission limits. Flicker calculations comply with IEC 61000-4-15, standard for electromagnetic compatibility.
