New lighting technologies are very important for their overall efficiency in reducing the absorbed energy and the operating and maintenance costs. However, they can introduce Power Quality (PQ) problems such as harmonic distortions, losses on the grid and power factor. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on power and harmonic absorption of different outdoor lamps (LED and gas discharge lamps), supplied by different ballasts, used in a railway station. The PQ and harmonic analysis is based on the indexes reported in the IEEE Trial use standard definitions for measurement of electric power.

Abstract

New lighting technologies are very important for their overall efficiency in reducing the absorbed energy and the operating and maintenance costs. However, they can introduce Power Quality (PQ) problems such as harmonic distortions, losses on the grid and power factor. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on power and harmonic absorption of different outdoor lamps (LED and gas discharge lamps), supplied by different ballasts, used in a railway station. The PQ and harmonic analysis is based on the indexes reported in the IEEE Trial use standard definitions for measurement of electric power.
