Power Factor and Distortion Measuring for Small Loads Using USB Acquisition Module
نویسندگان
چکیده
Power factor and distortion measuring usually requires special and expensive equipment. Computer-based acquisition modules and software provide possibility to create simple and non-expensive methods and instruments for power factor measurement and distortion characterization of small loads and bring all advantages of virtual instrumentation [1,2,3,4]. One approach to power factor and distortion measurement for small electric loads (up to 0.5kW) will be described in this paper.

Measuring Market Power in the Iranian Banking Industry According to the Boone Efficient-based Approach
The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the structure of the Iranian banking system and to measure the market power factor based on the Boone approach. In this paper, we investigated the Iranian organized money market, including 18 banks operating in the period of 2008-2015. To calculate the marginal cost (MC), we used a Translog Stochastic Frontier Cost Function. Findings based on the ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Kalman Filter-Based Time-Varying Harmonics Analyzer
Nowadays with increasing use of numerous nonlinear loads, voltage and current harmonics in power systems are one of the most important problems power engineers encounter. Many of these nonlinear loads, because of their dynamic natures, inject time-varying harmonics into power system. Common techniques applied for harmonics measurement and assessment such as FFT have significant errors in presen...

متن کاملAn Intelligent Method Based on WNN for Estimating Voltage Harmonic Waveforms of Non-monitored Sensitive Loads in Distribution Network
An intelligent method based on wavelet neural network (WNN) is presented in this study to estimate voltage harmonic distortion waveforms at a non-monitored sensitive load. Voltage harmonics are considered as the main type of waveform distortion in the power quality approach. To detect and analyze voltage harmonics, it is not economical to install power quality monitors (PQMs) at all buses. The ...
متن کاملTrue power factor metering for m-wire systems with distortion, unbalance and direct current components
Two companion papers describe an internally consistent general power theory valid for instantaneous and average power for systems with any number of wires, under conditions of unbalance, distortion or dc components. Measuring apparent power and power factor under non-ideal conditions, even in typical three-phase four wire systems, needs the resistances of the wires, particularly the neutral wir...
