Power Quality in an Academic Institution’s Electrical Distribution System — Sultan Qaboos University

/

Full campus PQ audit at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman — 33 kV/11 kV/415 V distribution system. Non-linear loads: PV inverters, UPS systems, VFD chillers, and hundreds of switch-mode power supplies in computer labs. THDI ranged from 2–10%, TDD from 2–8% across measurement points. Main substations compliant with IEEE 519 due to harmonic aggregation cancellation — but individual buildings exceeded 8% at peak load. Key lesson: the THD vs. TDD distinction prevents false alarms. The study establishes a pre-DER baseline before planned large-scale PV integration.

Data-Driven Power Quality Evaluation in a Hospital Electrical System

/

Full PQ audit at University of Lampung Hospital, أندونيسيا. Voltage and frequency compliant at the meter — but current TDD exceeded IEEE 519 limits many times over, voltage unbalance non-compliant, power factor lagging. All problems originated inside the facility from non-linear loads: SMPS, UPS, VFDs, imaging equipment.

Power Quality Issues in Medical Facilities — EKG Malfunction

/

A hospital EKG machine produced unreliable results. Signal wiring routed parallel to the power cord created inductive coupling — a classic internal EMC failure invisible to utility PQ standards. Root cause: wiring practice, not utility supply quality. 75% of medical facility PQ problems are internal wiring and grounding issues.

الجيل التوافقيات, الانتشار وتقنيات التطهير في الأحمال غير الخطية

Saudi Arabia academic review of harmonic generation mechanisms, propagation paths, and mitigation techniques for non-linear loads — covering passive filters, active filters, hybrid approaches, and multi-pulse converters. Provides theoretical grounding for harmonic mitigation selection, with worked examples for different industrial load types. King Saud University publication.

خلل الجهاز الطبي (حظ)

/

A building manager with widespread electrical malfunctions and three electricians who quit — none could identify the problem. A systematic approach starting with current measurement revealed a tripped GFCI with high neutral current feeding a malfunctioning medical device. Classic case demonstrating that systematic PQ investigation beats component replacement as a troubleshooting strategy.
