چکیده

In recent time, the power quality has attracted a lot of attention due to extensive emphasis by power utility on the power system efficiency and end users awareness of power quality issues. This has occurred mainly due to the sensitivity of the modern equipment and the deregulation of the power distribution. In addition, there are usually massive losses both to power utility and end users due to poor power quality supplies which fall below the set standards. Power quality primarily consists of voltage dip/ swell, power system interruptions, harmonic distortions, voltage flickers and frequency deviations. This study looks at effect of CFL bulbs on power system in relation to harmonic distortions and low power factor inherently associated by CFL. It has established that the bulbs generate substantial harmonic distortions and leading power factor. Combination of incandescent and CFL bulbs in one circuit was noted to improves the power quality.

Potential environmental impacts from the metals in incandescent, compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs.

Artificial lighting systems are transitioning from incandescent to compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs in response to the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act and the EU Ecodesign Directive, which leads to energy savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Although CFLs and LEDs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs, they require more metal-con...

Are LEDs the Next CFL: A Diffusion of Innovation Analysis

This paper examines properties of compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) adoption in the Pacific Northwest and early adoption characteristics of light emitting diode lamps (LED) to glean similarities and differences. CFLs were the emerging technology in the 90’s competing against the dominant incandescent bulb. With the phase-out of incandescent bulbs due to Federal legislation (see EISA 2007), within ...

Characterization of compact fluorescent lights RF emissions in the perspective of human exposure

In a context where energy is valued, the use of Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs with low energy consumption (CFL) tends to generalize. However, the radio noise produced by these sources is currently the subject of many discussions, particularly about the issue of human exposure. This paper is dedicated to the characterization of the electric and magnetic fields radiated by various models of lam...

Experimental Security Analyses of Non-Networked Compact Fluorescent Lamps: A Case Study of Home Automation Security

Background. With a projected rise in the procurement of home automation systems, we experimentally investigate security risks that homeowners might be exposed to by compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), where the lamps themselves do not have network capabilities but are controlled by compromised Internet-enabled home automation systems. Aim. This work seeks to investigate the feasibility of causing ...

The effect of compact fluorescent lamp and curcumin on wound healing in Wistar Rats

Background: Nowadays, the rapid recovery of skin lesions and functional return are among the goals of researchers. The skin is the first defensive barrier against microorganisms in the body and its failure causes infection to spread in all systems of the body. By taking into account the contradictory results of previous studies on the impact of phototherapy on wound healing and also the conside...
