Voltage quality is a major issue for several appliances in today's electric power systems. Distorted voltage waveforms caused by power electronics devices can dramatically reduce the useful life of dielectrics, e.g., filter capacitor banks or power factor correction capacitor banks. This paper aims at investigating how different power electronics control schemes can affect the dielectric ageing and, in doing so, it aims at providing a feasible and sustainable electric stress monitoring framework. The two considered control schemes adopted are the classical SPWM and SPWM with sequential command.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
