چکیده

The penetration of nonlinear loads on power systems increases the harmonics that can cause detrimental problems to power systems such as an increase in voltage distortion, equipment failure, system resonance, increase system losses and decrease system efficiency. Many factors affect the harmonics produced by nonlinear loads. Hence, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the impacts of system voltage, impedance, frequency and background voltage distortion on the harmonics generated by a group of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs). Experimental measurements are performed for this purpose.

An Analysis of Harmonic Emission from Compact Fluorescent Lamps

The main emphasis of this paper is on analyzing the harmonics generated from compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Laboratory tests on various CFLs were conducted to tap the load current behavior under different conditions. Then frequency domain analysis is performed to investigate the generated harmonics from CFLs. Harmonic levels of dimmable and non dimmable CFLs are experimentally evaluated and ...

ارزیابی پرتوهای فرابنفش لامپ‌های کم‌مصرف از نوع فلورسنت فشرده

Iranians are replacing traditional incandescent lamps with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), because they use about a quarter of the power of incandescent lamps and their lifecycle is up to ten times longer. Government encourages public to use CFLs too, for saving energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Small amounts of mercury are used in CFLs, released to the environment if they are bro...

ارزیابی میدان‌های الکتریکی و مغناطیسی لامپ‌های کم مصرف از نوع فلورسنت فشرده از دیدگاه حفاظت پرتوی

The technology used in energy-saving compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), provides a quarter of the energy consumption of incandescent lamps to produce equivalent light energy while CLFs shelf life is up to ten times of incandescent lamps. So the incandescent lamps in homes and workplaces are replaced with CFLs. Due to the use of ballast in the structure of CFLs, electric and magnetic fields are g...

Process Improvement of Experimental Measurements Using D-optimal Models

In this paper, the application of D-optimal models, as an alternative to response surface models (RS models) for design of experiment (DOE) was examined. Two D-optimal models for tilt-rotors in the wind tunnel experiment, as a form of quadratic functions, were generated based on a chosen optimality criterion. This optimality criterion was used to generate the optimized sampled points in the des...
