Power quality study of a network of adjustable speed drives

Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD) or Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) are well known today for its ability in achieving power efficiency. ASD is commonly used in fans, heat pumps and it is capable to achieve up to 30% of energy efficiency if installed in compressors. Despite the advantages of using ASD,...
