Analysis of Power Quality in ICT Environment
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Electricity which is generated and distributed at specified parameters for equipment and appliances to function effectively should be treated as a product which requires quality assurance. Any deviation from the specifications constitutes power quality problems. This study aims at evaluating quality assurance of electrical power by assessing the compliance with two international standards- IEEE 519-1992 and European Norm 50160. The parameters under focus are Voltage, Current, Frequency and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Measurements were carried out at the ICT centre of The Federal Polytechnic Ilaro for a week period with a Power & Harmonic Analyzer and the results were statistically analyzed. The results shows that the two international standards (IEEE 519-1992 and European Norm 50160) on current harmonic limit were trespassed implying that quality of power has been degraded. Measures such as derating and use of Krated transformer to mitigate the problems were recommended.
