Phase unbalance damages 3-phase motor loads and
increases technical losses, causing real problems on equipment such as
large commercial HVAC units. Argonne National Laboratory, in partnership
with NRECA, is conducting a research project to develop control strategies
for solar PV inverters that mitigate power quality issues related to phase
unbalance. NRECA is looking for cooperatives to serve as technical advisors on
the development and testing of related software.
The following
advisory provides full details on benefits and responsibilities
of participation.
