Subject: Power
Quality and Large Scale Solar
As PV systems become larger in scale the
quality of the power produced becomes very important. This presentation
is a case study to quantify the resonance conditions associated with an
existing capacitor bank at a large scale solar installation and provide a
solution to mitigate the negative effects of the installed capacitor bank. The
solution required determining the equipment necessary to convert the installed
capacitor banks to harmonic filter banks.
Speaker: Mike Peters of Eaton Corporation
