Introduction to Harmonic Bar Charts
The presence of harmonics in the voltage delivered to homes and businesses is pretty much a given due to the increase in non-linear loads in use today. These loads include…
Getting Started with the 3-Phase Boomerang
The 3-phase Boomerang sends continuous voltage, current, and power information to Canvass, PMI's cloud-based data analysis package. The Boomerang and Canvass provide web-based graphing of 3-phase stripchart, daily profile, and…
Photovoltaic Monitoring with Canvass
The use of distributed generation has witnessed a dramatic increase over the past decade. The two most popular of these – solar and wind – provide a unique set of…
Voltage Notching in IEEE Std. 519-2014
In this white paper, I cover the new IEEE Std 519-2014 limits for voltage notching, how these limits are calculated, and how to use ProVision to make the notch measurements.…
Updates and Changes Made to the IEEE 519 in the 2014 Release
On August 12th, 2014, the IEEE Standards Association updated their 519 standard for Harmonic control in electrical power systems. One of the first things you will notice about the updated…
Approaching Power Quality Monitoring Site-Work
Power quality (PQ) monitoring provides insightful information that can be used to detect industrial and residential power disturbances, and provide clues for mitigation and problem resolution. Having the proper power…
Photovoltaic Monitoring Setup Recommendations
Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate new power quality and even basic grid stability challenges. The rapid deployment of PV generation requires comprehensive monitoring to help understand and quantify the impacts on…
Advanced Waveform Capture with ProVision
Waveform Capture data is often the most detailed information available in a PQ recording. Getting good data is not always easy, so it's important to glean all information possible from…
Power Factor Correction Capacitors and Resonances
This paper explains some of the issues concerning power factor correction, and the side-effect of resonances that can be detrimental to a power distribution system. Also are some solutions to…
New Graph Templates for Flicker Analysis
Voltage flicker is one of the most visible and common residential complaints, yet one of the most challenging to quantify and address. The IEEE 1453 flicker standard defines some important,…
Evolution of Power Quality Recording
Power quality analysis is a rapidly changing field, and is intrinsically linked to advances in digital technology. From its humble beginnings as analogue recorders that wrote a single voltage directly…
