Power Quality
Before discussing quality of power,
lets have a look at how do we
define
the measurement of electrical power?

 Applied Voltage : u(t) = Upk.sin(t)
 Resulting Current : i(t) = pk.sin(t+)
Amplitude=UrmsxIrms
 p(t) = u(t) . i(t) =
= ½ . Upk . Ipk . cos( ) - ½ . Upk . Ipk . cos(2t+ )

The most difficult task for the power
meter is to find the period time T
correctly!
Especially with distorted signals this can
be very difficult.

Δt = resolution of Tperiod
The zero crossing lasts at least for one acquisition interval. An
uncertainty caused by time resolution.

Power Quality is first of all related to an accurate Power Measurement
Factors that influence the total error for power are:

Detection of Period Time “T”
There is enough energy. The challenge is how to control it!
 For Example:
If of 1 gram uranium all atoms split, the heat developed
(energy) can make a water basin, 6 x 6 x 5 meter filled
with water of 0 degrees Celsius, boil.

Three ways to control Electrical Power
1. The current is manipulated.
Example:
Switched Power Supplies, Resistors.
2. The
voltage
is manipulated.
Example:
Pulse Width Modulated Power Inverters, Frequency Converters,
Soft-starters, Thyristor Controlled Power Supplies,
Inductive Cooking.
3.
Both
the voltage and the current
Example:
Electronic Ballasts for Lighting

Summary
 Today electric power consumption is controlled by high
speed (switching) electronics.
 Design engineers are very creative.
 To limit the negative side effects for others, new
regulations are issued frequently to set new guidelines
for design.
 The definition of the average electric power has not
changed, but the selection of the true repetition time T
(period) requires special attention.
 The power meter should allow the user to select the
appropriate synchronisation source for the
measurement calculations.
