Grid Intelligence Dashboard: Evidence-Based Analysis of Power Quality Improvements

A comprehensive case study examining voltage regulation effectiveness in commercial applications, based on data from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and field measurements at Central Book Supply, Inc., Quezon City (NGCP, 2025)

Methodology: This analysis utilizes real-time grid data collected over a 12-month period (January 2024 – January 2025), incorporating measurements from digital power analyzers (IEC 61000-4-30 Class A compliant) (IEC, 2015), NGCP operational margin reports, and satellite-based infrastructure monitoring via Copernicus Sentinel-2 (European Space Agency, 2024).

Statistical Analysis & Calculations

Voltage Regulation Efficiency

VR = [(V_no-load – V_full-load) / V_full-load] × 100%

Result: 2.3% average deviation

Method: ANSI C84.1-2020

Carbon Emission Reduction

CO₂ = Energy_saved × Grid_emission_factor

949 kWh × 0.7 kg CO₂/kWh = 663.5 kg

Factor: DOE Philippines (2024)

Power Quality Index

PQI = √(V_deviation² + THD² + Flicker²)

Score: 94.7/100 (Excellent)

Standard: IEC 61000 series
