Your Ultimate Disruptive Energy Efficiency Partner
OUR SERVICES
South Africa’s unique brand of energy crisis – and the measures being taken to address it – requires an entirely new set of engineering skills, which are not yet specialisations offered at colleges or universities.
These skills – specifically grid transmission operators and system designers – are going to be needed on a large scale very soon, according to experts, leaving the country’s already dire engineering crisis in a much more precarious position.
Power quality can be defined as the interaction of electrical power with electrical equipment. If all the equipment operates correctly and reliably without being damaged or stressed, the electrical power is of good quality.
Power quality can be defined as the interaction of electrical power with electrical equipment. If all the equipment operates correctly and reliably without being damaged or stressed, the electrical power is of good quality.
What Do We Measure?
The most important parameters to technically define power grid quality are:
Voltage magnitude
Power – Wind/ Solar/ Nuclear/ Coal Power etc
Harmonics and inter-harmonics
Voltage events (sags, swells, and interruptions e.g. load shedding)
Frequency
Power quality measurements and analysis are important to diagnose power system problems. Without correct and adequate measurements, these issues may be overlooked or misinterpreted. Using high speed and accurate power quality analysis is therefore crucial in the measurement process.
We take measurements and analyse the results, as well as examine the existing measurements and then offer power quality solutions to our customers to suit their particular needs.
The power quality measurements are taken, and analysis is made according to the following specifications:
