Two Active Harmonic Filters

The Problem

As part of a major upgrade, the Rialto replaced two of the three primary chillers on-site, which account for approximately 70% of the building's cooling requirements.

To ensure their new equipment did not affect the building’s power quality and operated within Australian harmonic guidelines, Quality Energy was engaged to assist with the design and manufacture of a customised Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) solution.

The Solution

A 400A AHF for Chiller No. 1 and a 100A AHF for Chiller No. 3 were installed.

Benefits and Outcomes

After an extensive commissioning process, our Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) units successfully reduced the total harmonic distortion (THD) from approximately 35% and40%, respectively, to below 5% at maximum load. This allowed the chillers to operate without compromising the building's power quality or affecting its tenants, while also ensuring compliance with IEEE 519 standards.

Reduced harmonic pollution results in a more efficient and reliable electrical installation, minimising the risk of interference with critical equipment and/or tenants. It also ensures compliance with regulatory standards, reducing the likelihood of penalties from the power authority.
