Power quality and building technology
Concert halls, congress centers, hotels, oce buildings, banks and insurances they all depend
entirely on absolutely reliable electrical and electronic systems.
Highest demands in terms o reliability and eciency. A multitude o single- and three-phase
consumers is used in modern building technology; including lighting techniques such as light
controllers or spotlights or energy-ecient lamps, various requency converters or heating,
ventilation and air conditioning equipment or or elevators, and the entire IT-inrastructure with
its typically switched-mode power supply units. Oten there are also inverters or photovoltaic
installations (PV) or uninterruptable power supplies (UPS). The reliable perormance o such
equipment depends on a good power quality and is particularly challenging in terms o voltage
quality. At the same time, the burdening o the network inrastructure with all these electrical
and electronic consumers with system perturbation has drastically increased since several years
now. The type o production system and equipment (network supply with converter, generator)
denes how strongly networks are aected and infuenced by system perturbations. This is par-
ticularly true or:
I Harmonics
I Unbalance resulting rom asymmetric load conditions
I Voltage fuctuations and ficker
I Power actor and reactive power demand
There might also be dierences in how strongly network disturbances aect the eciency
o building technology itsel. But theres no doubt that they are contrary to the trend to continu-
ally improve the buildings perormance with the underlying goal to also improve their energy
eciency. This may also aect the
I comort and quality o the environment or the users o a building,
I the energy and operating costs,
I the reliability and eciency o the building systems,
I the service lie o technical equipment,
I the investment protection,
I the environment.
And nally a permanent monitoring and optimization process by the network operators as
well as the implementation o new standards and limits or power quality demands or and
strengthens an approach based on utmost reliability and eciency. With our know-how gained
rom more than 50 years o experience, Schaner oers products and solutions that do meet
all these requirements.

4 Clean grids for modern buildings
Today, every system in building technology must work nearly perectly while saving resources and
protecting the environment. When it comes to the technical inrastructures within buildings, there
are almost everywhere ventilations, elevator systems, security devices or lighting appliances, data
technologies, and much more non-linear consumers that need electrical energy o best quality. This
means that a good power quality is o utmost importance or their smooth and environmentally
riendly operation. The demands in terms o intererence susceptibility and suciently low emitted
intererence o equipment have been dened since long by the EMC directives and standards. The
eld o power quality, however, has evolved rom a sheer availability requirement to a true quality-
based description o power supply. There is no doubt that a good power quality protects people
and values. Consequently, it is only natural that the assessment o the eects and infuences o
harmonics, unbalances, voltage fuctuations, and ficker on power quality must not only be stan-
dardized and specied bindingly or the network operators but also or the consumer. These are the
most important national and international standards:
Product standards:
I IEC/EN 61000-3-2 Limits or harmonic current emissions (equipment input current up to and
including 16 A per phase)
I IEC/EN 61000-3-4 Limitation o emission o harmonic currents in low-voltage power supply sys-
tems or equipment with rated current > than 16 A

low-voltage systems with input current >16 A and 75 A per phase

6 Clean grids for modern buildings
Already in the rst years o operation o power distribution networks, there were rst distur-
bances. In the beginning they came rom mercury vapor rectiers that were used in industrial
environments; and in the past years the number o equipment creating harmonics has strongly
risen and will continue to rise. The notion o harmonics became known in the second hal
o the 20th century. Like surers, most electrical devices are looking or the perect wave.
For alternating current, perection is dened by a sinusoidal wave in which electrical voltage
changes smoothly rom positive polarity to negative and back again 50 (50 Hz) or 60 (60 Hz)
times per second. Anyway, to use the notion o wave though in connection with harmonics is
not completely correct. A wave extends in time and space, whereas the oscillations observed
here, do only expand in time.
Harmonics. Harmonics are produced in almost every non-linear consumer. Linear consumers
draw a sinusoidal current rom sinusoidal voltage. This sinusoidal current signal is only composed
o the undamental; i.e. it has no harmonic spectrum, so that the entire energy will be transerred
on the undamental. Non-linear consumers are devices that draw a non-sinusoidal current rom
the grid. And most consumers in building technology are non-linear ones meaning that they do
largely draw non-sinusoidal current. This, in turn, does strongly interere with power quality as
the currents with strong harmonics have typical side eects aecting both, utilities and consum-
ers the like. In addition, harmonic currents do fow in addition to the active sinusoidal requency
and do thus lead to losses in electrical installations that in turn may also cause thermal overloads.But this is by ar not the only possible result o harmonics; there are indeed numerous other is-
sues:
I Additional losses in the consumer may heat up or overheat appliances and thereore reduce
their service lie
I Derating o transormers due to the heating eect o harmonics; the producers o transormers do
speciy here 10 % in case o more than 30 % dissipation o the rated power to non-linear loads
I The same assumptions are also true or generators
I Capacitors and compensation systems (PFC) may overload or even be destroyed
I Audio disturbances resulting rom higher-requency harmonics
I Disturbances o telecommunication appliances
I Overload o the neutral conductor
I Zero crossing aults o electronic equipment that are based on zero crossings
I Nuisance tripping o line protection switches/circuit breakers

Harmonics are currents or voltages with requencies that are integer multiples o the undamen-
tal power requency being 50 or 60 Hz. For example, i the undamental power requency is
60 Hz, then the 2nd harmonic is 120 Hz, the 3rd is 180 Hz, etc. Current harmonics do not contrib-
ute to the active power but do apply thermal loads to a network. By using the Discrete Fourier
Analysis, any type o periodic signal occurring in energy technology can be decomposed into a
summation o the undamental requency and the integer multiples o this requency. This gives
an angle and amplitude value or every harmonic requency. Harmonics do distort the sinusoidal
waveorm.
Point o common coupling (PCC) The PCC is a point in the electrical system where multiple
customers or multiple electrical loads may be connected. According to IEEE-519, this should
be a point which is accessible to both the utility and the customer or direct measurement. Al-
though in many cases the PCC is considered at the metering point, service entrance or acility
transormer, IEEE-519 states that within an industrial plant, the PCC is the point between the
non-linear load and other loads. Under certain circumstances it may also be useul to assess the
stress caused by harmonics at individual equipment or equipment groups in order to detect in-
ternal network quality problems and their possible causes. The ollowing parameters are used to
assess harmonic stress:
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a widely used notion in dening the level o harmoniccontent in alternating signals. This value is dened as the ratio o the sum o the powers o all
harmonic components to the power o the undamental requency. This THD value is used or
low, medium, and high voltage systems. Usually the current distortion is dened as THDi and the
voltage distortion as THDv.
Total Harmonic Current (THC) is the accumulated currents o the orders 2 to 40 that contribute
to the distortion o the current waveorm. This value is particularly useul in determining the re-
quired characteristics or installation o modern active harmonic lters:

Total Harmonic Distortion of Current (THDi) indicates the total harmonic current distortion
o the wave orm. This value is dened as the ratio (in %) o the harmonic current to the undamen-
tal (non-harmonic) current measured at a load point at the particular moment when the measure-
ment is taken. Typically, the geometrical sum o all current harmonics is calculated in relation to
the undamental requency current up to the 40th harmonic order:
All harmonic currents created by the loads in the networks must fow through impedances
(transormers, reactors, etc.) and all other parallel branches. There will be non-linear voltage
drops at the impedances. The harmonic voltages created like that will expand across the
entire network and lead to distortions o the supply voltage o other appliances. This means that
harmonic distortion o the current (THDi) does also cause voltage distortions (THDv).
Total Harmonic Distortion o Voltage (THDv) indicates the total magnitude o the voltage
distortion. This value is dened as the ratio (in %) o the harmonic voltage to the undamental
(non-harmonic) voltage. Typically, the geometrical sum o all voltage harmonics is calculated
in relation to the undamental requency voltage up to the 40th harmonic order:
A low THDv is in general synonymous to a good voltage quality.
Total Demand Distortion (TDD) Especially in North America the notion o TDD is widely
used when it comes to harmonics. In dierence to the THDi, in which the harmonic content
is reerred to the undamental requency o the rated current value, it is the ratio o the measured
harmonic current to the ull load undamental current. The ull load undamental current is the
total amount o non-harmonic current consumed by all o the loads on the system when the
system is at peak demand. So the TDD is the THD o current (using a 15 or 30 minute averaging
measurement period) normalized to the maximum demand load current; but only at ull load
TDD=THDi:
maximum demand load current

A three-phase system is called symmetrical when the magnitudes o phase or line voltages
are equal and phases are displaced to each other by 120. As soon as one o these two conditions
is not met, there is an unbalance. In most cases unbalances result rom loads. With high and
medium voltages the loads are typically 3-phase and symmetric even though also single- or
2-phase loads may be connected (e.g. induction or resistance urnaces). In the low voltage range
the loads are usually single-phased (e.g. PCs, lighting systems, etc.) and their load circuits are
distributed to the three phases within the electrical cabling.
For a mathematical correct analysis o unbalance the method o symmetrical components (true
denition) is commonly applied. This method describes the degree o unbalance by the ratio o
the negative sequence voltage component to the positive sequence voltage component. The
percentage voltage unbalance actor (% VUF) is given by:
The positive and negative sequence voltage components are obtained by resolving three-phase
unbalanced line voltages (or phase voltages) into two symmetrical components
and (o the line or phase voltages). The two balanced components are given by:
where
IEEE denes voltage unbalance as the phase voltage unbalance rate (PVUR), by
This method avoids the use o complex algebra but still gives a good approximation to the true
denition. The dierence between the true denition and phase voltage unbalance rate is very
small below 5% unbalance. The dierence is high or extreme values o % unbalance when using
PVUR. Considering that most utilities in the United States restrict the voltage unbalance to 2.5%
maximum deviation rom the average voltage between the three phases the PVUR method might
usually be sucient.

Eects o unbalance:
I Increasing current loads and losses in the network
With the same consumer power, the phase current values may double or triple and the losses
reach a value twice or even six times as high. This in turn means that lines and transormers
may only be loaded up to one hal or one third o their rated power.
I Losses and vibrations in electrical machines
Electrical machines cannot produce their ull torque as the inversely rotating magnetic eld o
the negative-sequence system causes a negative braking torque that has to be subtracted
rom the base torque linked to the normal rotating
Unbalance is increasing the thermal load
Another eect o unbalance are vibrations in electrical machines leading to higher mechanical
stresses
I Rectiers and inverters
Rectiers and inverters do react with uncharacteristic harmonic currents to unbalanced sup-
ply voltages.
I 3-phase systems
In unbalanced three-phase systems with star point a neutral current fows, which is undesired.

Voltage fuctuations and ficker
Voltage changes, voltage fuctuations, and ficker are related to each other. Even though they
oten occur in parallel, these are dierent phenomena with clear distinctions:
A voltage change Uis a deviation in the r.m.s voltage value with respect to a steady-state value
averaged over some period o time. This voltage deviation might or might not be periodical. The
quantitative description is made using the dierence between the r.m.s values o the line voltage
beore and ater a voltage change. The voltage change Uat the PCC relative to the voltage Uis
called relative voltage change .
Voltage fuctuations U(t) are dened as repetitive or random variations in the magnitude with
amplitudes that do not exceed 10 % o the nominal supply voltage. In a three-phase power sys-
tem they can be either distributed symmetrical or asymmetrical to the three phases. Voltage
fuctuations result rom:
I Switching on or o sequences involving large-capacity loads
I Starting drives (larger loads)
I Load changes in drives
I Pulsed powers (multicycle controls, thermostat controls)
I Arc urnaces
I Welding machinesI Wind turbine generator systems in parallel mains operation
Voltage fuctuations may aect the operation o sensitive appliances and systems in some cases.
Except or these particular cases, the main disturbing eect o voltage fuctuations is producing
changes o the illumination intensity o lighting equipment. This is commonly called fickering or
ficker.
Flicker is dened as the subjective impression o changes o the light density or also as Impres-
sion o unsteadiness o visual sensation induced by a light stimulus whose luminance or spectral
distribution fuctuates with time. From a technical point o view, voltage fuctuations do induce
changes o the light density in lamps that may provoke a visually perceptible phenomenon, des-
ignated as ficker. From a certain limit value on, these ficker phenomena are annoying. The de-
gree o annoyance caused by voltage fuctuations depends on the amplitude, requency, and
wave shape o the voltage fuctuations. The basic parameters to determine voltage fuctuation
eects on lighting and their infuence on humans are the short-term ficker severity and long-
term ficker severity index. Voltage fuctuations caused by individual appliances (in low volt-
age lines) are admitted as long as the resulting ficker annoyance actor does not exceed 1. A
long-term ficker annoyance actor average o twelve values must not exceed the value o
0.65. The easiest way to assess this annoyance actor is to use the = 1 p.u.-curve. P.u. stands or
unit o perception and refects the maximum compatibility level o the intererence susceptibil-
ity o the human eye regarding the perception o light fuctuations. In the interaction o all an-noying eects, the value o = 1 p.u. must not be exceeded.

In a three-phase system the phase voltages are displaced to each other by 120. I the individual
phases are equally loaded, the resultant current in the neutral will be zero. I the network is dis-
torted by current harmonics, the triplen harmonics will add up in the neutral so that the current
in the neutral can exceed the current o each o the individual phase currents up to actor three.
The power factor is a parameter that can be aected by network disturbances such as harmonic
distortion or unbalance. It gets worse with an increasing phase shit between current and voltage,
and with increasing distortion o the current. It is dened as the ratio o the active power and the
apparent power values = and thus serves as measure o the eciency that a load is using
energy. In an electric power system, a load with a high power actor draws less current than a
load with a low power actor or the same amount o useul power transerred and thus has a
better eciency. Since no uniorm phase shit angle can be specied in case o harmonic loads,
the power actor and the oten used cosine must not be equated. Based on the ormula
= = cos1 = g1cos1, with = undamental component o the current, I= total current,
g1 = undamental actor and cos1 = displacement actor, it can be shown that only in case o
sinusoidal voltage and current (g=1), the power actor equals cos1. So the power actor
equals the cosine o the displacement angle only in case o sinusoidal currents and voltages
and is dened as cos= = active actor. Non-linear loads are typically causing a bad power
actor.
Reactive power The public utilities do transport energy rom the power plants to the consumers
using their supply grids. The power in an electric circuit is the rate o fow o energy past a given
point o the circuit. In alternating current circuits, energy storage elements such as inductance
and capacitance may result in periodic reversals o the direction o energy fow. The portion o
power that, averaged over a complete cycle o the AC waveorm, results in net transer o energy
in one direction is known as real power. The portion o power due to stored energy, which re-
turns to the source in each cycle, is known as reactive power. The reactive power is necessary to
generate the magnetic eld o machines. However, reactive power does not transer energy but
results in costs or the work it involves and transmission losses. As a consequence o this, the re-
active power demand should be kept to the minimum. Based on the source o reactive power,
the ollowing types are used:

additional advantages:

Complex mixed loads load proles in building technology
According to a recent study o the EU, approx. 40 % o the total produced electrical energy
is used or residential or business buildings such as apartments, oce buildings, hospitals,
hotels, theaters, schools, or sports acilities. It is true that the individual systems and acilities are
dierent between the buildings, but all these inrastructures have one thing in common rom
an ecological but also rom the economic perspective, the ecient use o energy adjusted to the
actual needs is an absolute must. Today, the protection o the resources and o the environment
is as important as the technical reliability o appliances, equipment, or systems. This is made pos-
sible by the use o state-o-the-art products rom the building technology sector, such as dim-
mers, timers, motion and presence detectors, switches, thermostats, heater controls, speed-con-
trolled drives or HVAC-systems, pumps, ans, and motors supported by intelligent and networked
area and building controls. A positive energy balance is only possible i the impacts o the used
system technology are compensated to their greatest extent; meaning that products and solu-
tions must be used that reliably and eciently handle complex mixed loads occurring in build-
ing technology. Typical loads in building technology are:
I Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC)
I Internal and external lighting
I Communication technology (telephone, axes, network engineering)
I Elevators, escalators
I Oce machines (computers, screens, copy machines)I Building automation systems
I Medical equipment
I Audio-visual entertainment systems
I Saety systems (burglary, re, smoke, gas and water damages)

The solution concepts or energy-ecient building technology do always involve a multitude
o products and systems. In most cases the use o single- or three-phase lters ensures the com-
pliance with the applicable EMC standards. Another technical solution is the use o sinusoidal l-
ters to protect motors rom additional stress due to PWM and to improve a systems reliability. Two
aspects that oten are not suciently taken into account are the harmonics and the power actor
since they directly aect the consumption, costs and service lie o appliances. Even when the
standards or harmonics o the individual countries are complied with, the power supply inra-
structure is severely aected by refected harmonics. To guarantee good energy eciency values,
any operator o a building has a responsibility beyond the legal provisions and the infuences o
the public utilities. A bad power actor does strongly and directly aect the energy balance. Con-
sumers with a bad power actor do waste power and increase costs. As internationally leading
company in the development and production o solutions, the Schaner Group provides prod-
ucts and concepts ensuring the ecient and reliable operation o building technology systems.

Energy eciency and reliability are the key values or modern building technology. Dierent
concepts and approaches are necessary to optimize a buildings energy eciency. The use o
energy-ecient devices with power electronics and controlled drives is always indispensable.
Impacts on the power network caused by devices with non-linear characteristic must reliably be
limited. With its sophisticated products and services, Schaner oers various concepts to reduce
harmonics, to compensate reactive power and to balance the load currents. Thus Schaner is
actively enhancing the power quality. This helps to achieve maximum energy eciency with
highest reliability or consumers and systems in building technology.
ECOsine and ECOsine Active Perect solutions or building technology
The passive harmonic lters ECOsine are the ideal solution or three-phase applications with
6-pulse-ront-end rectiers, such as AC and DC motor drives. Thanks to the signicant reduction
o the total harmonic distortion to a THDi value below 5 %, the ECOsine lters do ensure the
compliance with the most severe provisions arising rom IEEE 519 and other international stan-dards applying to power quality. Rectier peak currents and r.m.s. input currents are reduced so
that a pure sinusoidal current can be drawn. The reduction o the current consumption with the
same input power helps to save energy and to improve the use o the capacities oered by exist-
ing electrical installations. For new installations the use o ECOsine lters allows to reduce the
wire cross sections as well as the size o uses and breakers required. It also ensures that more
motor drives may be ed by one distribution transormer o a given size.
ECOsine harmonic lters are available in seven versions our or 50-Hz-networks (FN 3410,
3411, 3416 and 3410 HV series) and three or 60-Hz-systems (FN 3412, 3413 and FN 3418 series).
They can easily be selected on the basis o the actual input power o a single non-linear con-
sumer or a group o consumers. Thanks to their compact size they can directly be mounted in the
control cabinet just beside the drives. A simple plug-and-play-concept eases their installation,
wiring and commissioning without having to resort to system analyses or the help o experts.

do compensate harmonics up to the 50th harmonic order. This means that active harmonic lters
give best power quality results. Further advantages compared to passive lters are:
I Economic use o the lter resources thanks to the targeted selection o individual harmonics
and the conguration o limit values
I Option o highly-dynamic compensation o capacitive and inductive reactive power
I Reactive current compensation with congurable cos
I Simple adaptation and/or extension to changing ltering needs (network topologies)
I Integrated resonance monitoring
I Load balancing between all phases (all types)
I Load balancing between phase and neutral (4-wire types)
I Reaction time o less than 300 s
I Compensation o the third and o all triplen harmonics up to the 50th harmonic order
I No capacitive loading caused by ECOsine Active lters under partial load conditions
I Parallel use o up to 5 lter units possible (all types)

24 Clean grids for modern buildings
The high technical level and complexity o the electro-technical equipment o buildings and
their inrastructures have strongly increased in the past years. This, in turn, leads inevitably to a
multitude o electrical and electronic systems. Networking o these systems and components
may also lead to larger (economic) damages, even in case o minor technical issues. Since elec-
tro-magnetic eects are propagated to both directions, the components within a building do
interere with each other; so that appliances do not only disturb but are also disturbed. Targeted
solutions and measures must ensure that sensitive systems do not interere with each other.
Consequently, all appliances and units used in building technology must be controlled and
secured in terms o their potential toprevent others corsect operation as well as their resistivity
to harmul infuences rom adjacent appliances. Schaner provides reliable and ecient prod-
ucts and solutions or EMC:
