Voltage and Current Source
Load management is the process of balancing the supply of electricity on the network with the electrical
load by adjusting or controlling the load rather than the power station output. This can be achieved by; di-
rect intervention of the utility in real time, the use of frequency sensitive relays triggering circuit breakers
(ripple control), with time clocks or by using special tariffs to influence consumer behaviour. Ripple control
is the most common form of load control, and is used in many countries around the world.
The EAC-S family of AC Sources from ET system electronic can simulate ripple
control signals. Ripple control involves superimposing a higher frequency sig-
nal (usually between 100 and 1600 Hz) onto the standard 50 – 60 Hz of the
mains power signal. When the receiver device attached to a non-essential
residential or industrial load receives this signal, they shut down the load
until the signal is disabled or another ‘enabling’ frequency signal is received.
The EAC-S gives the test and development engineer the capability to simulate the ripple signals used by
many public grid authorities. This helps to ensure that ripple control systems in development or used in
production units operate as expected.
For example the scope shot below shows an output of 230 VAC at 50 Hz from the EAC-S. A ripple of 1 kHz
can be seen on top of the 50 Hz output.
Waveforms can be easily created using freely available software. They can be transferred to the AC Source
via the convenient memory card slot.
Ripple control waveforms can be implemented from an EAC-S with either a single- or three-phase output.
Besides sine signals many other signal variations are possible.
