Measure, Diagnose and Understand Power-Quality Problems
Power-quality issues can originate from network conditions, large loads, converters, switching events or interactions among plant systems. Solvina combines measurement and engineering analysis to identify causes and evaluate mitigation options.
The engineering problem
behind the question.
Power-quality complaints — nuisance tripping, equipment heating, flicker complaints from a grid operator — are often treated symptomatically, with mitigation equipment purchased before the actual source of the disturbance has been confirmed.
What we study
The scope is shaped around the engineering question, system boundary and operating conditions relevant to the study.
Measurement planning
Harmonic and disturbance assessment
Data analysis
Network modelling where required
Root-cause diagnosis
Mitigation assessment
Monitoring and reporting
From engineering question to evidence.
Measurement is planned around the specific complaint or requirement, data is analysed against relevant standards and limits, and — where the cause isn't obvious from measurement alone — network modelling is used to trace the disturbance back to its source before mitigation options are evaluated.
What this work
gives you.
A confirmed root cause instead of a guess
Mitigation recommendations sized to the actual problem
Evidence suitable for discussions with a grid operator or equipment supplier
A monitoring basis for tracking whether a fix actually worked
Questions we
often hear.
Scope varies by project — the priority is accurate measurement and correct diagnosis; equipment and mitigation options are discussed based on what the diagnosis shows.
Yes — confirmed root-cause analysis is usually the starting point for any productive conversation with a grid operator about a power-quality issue.
