Presentation on “Modern Power Quality Challenges”

On Tuesday, October 17, Dr. Aaron Snyder and Vadim Zheglov had the privilege to speak to the Chattanooga Engineers Club on the topic of “Modern Power Quality Challenges.”

Aaron and Vadim challenged attendees as to what they knew to be “true” about electric power and its measurement. Most of us are familiar with the so-called “power triangle” and it use in explaining power concepts to both believers and non-believers. However, many of us would be surprised at the diversity of approaches and beliefs related to measuring those quantities under normal, sinusoidal conditions (what we use as a fundamental assumption) and the actuality of accounting for normal, non-sinusoidal conditions (what we know to be actuality). The talk culminated in a case study that exposed the limitations of both the simple model and the more complex model as one explores the theory through to technology implementation.
