April 4, 2023 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, Inc., an electronic test equipment rental
and sales company has published a new blog post entitled "Measure the Efficiency
of Renewable Energy Grids," that covers how the latest power
analyzers and grid simulators can keep the power flowing efficiently and without
fail on energy grids. Developing and maintaining these power grids requires
regular voltage and current measurements on AC and DC power lines and junctions.
Fortunately, the latest power analyzers and grid simulators combine the test
speed and accuracy needed to ensure the highest-quality power from renewable
energy sources and the power grids they support.
Basic measurements of AC and DC electric power in power grids include
voltage, current, efficiency, power, and total harmonic distortion (THD), with
accuracy within a fraction of one percent. Modern power grids tend to be dynamic
in nature, with a diversity of power sources. The number of power sources in any
power grid will grow to increase capacity as demand for energy increases.
Many of the measurements required for reliable electrical safety compliance testing
can be performed with a single multifunction analyzer if it provides the performance
levels required by the appropriate electrical safety standards. Learn more about
the most important equipment you will need when using compliance analyzers by reading

Energy is essential for most homes and businesses and its generation has long
depended upon the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. But
global supplies of such fuels are limited and the process of converting them to
electric power adds harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), into the
atmosphere. Energy can be produced from a variety of sources other than fossil
fuels, including solar power, wind turbines, hydroelectric power plants,
geothermal energy (using heat from the Earth’s core), even from the movement of
oceanic water from regular tidal changes. One of the newest forms of renewable
energy comes from burning biomass materials, which are plants and animals which
can be burned as fuels, to generate energy. Ethanol is an example of a biofuel.
In some areas, farmlands formerly used to grow food crops are being converted to
grow grains and other plants that can be harvested for energy.
Efficient use of power from renewable energy sources requires its storage and
distribution, typically by means of power grids. For several years, major
utility firms have been evaluating their transmission and distribution assets to
include investments in renewable energy as part of their modified power grids.
Developing and maintaining these power grids requires regular voltage and
current measurements on AC and DC power lines and junctions. Fortunately, the
latest power analyzers and grid simulators combine the test speed and accuracy
needed to ensure the highest-quality power from renewable energy sources and the
power grids they support. Analyzers and meters characterize power from a device
under test (DUT) while grid simulators perform measurements of voltage, current,
and power while also serving as a precision power supply for the DUT (in place
of what would have been energy supplied by the power grid). A regenerative grid
simulator can precisely tune the power supplied to a DUT while returning power
generated or unused by the DUT during testing to the power grid with minimal
dissipation of the energy as heat.
Modern power grids tend to be dynamic in nature, with a diversity of power
sources. The number of power sources in any power grid will grow to increase
capacity as demand for energy increases. Homeowners with rooftop solar panels,
for example, who generate energy beyond their own needs may sell or trade the
power to utilities and serve as a small source within the total power grid. Any
additional energy channels within a power grid must be regularly tested to
maintain energy supply quality.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
