Abstract

Global energy saving efforts have led to replacement of incandescent lamps with energy-efficient ones like light-emitting diode (LED) and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). These lamps, being non-linear loads, have the potential of injecting harmonics into distribution networks. In this paper, harmonics injection of common CFL and LED lamps at a facility point of common coupling is investigated. To gain insight into large scale penetration effects on power quality, field measurement results of popular lamps used in Ghana were replicated in MATLAB/Simulink through simulation. The field results showed that LED lamps exhibit more harmonics compared to CFL lamps. Maximum possible loading on a 100-kVA, 11kV/0.433kV distribution transformer was found to be 24.02% for CFL, 27.14% for LED, and 40.91% for a mixture of the two lamps, respectively, in order not to violate IEEE 519-2014 standard. The influence of other common loads such as ceiling fans on the lamps’ harmonics were assessed in the field measurement. The use of ceiling fans with the lamps in the facility reduced the harmonics and improved the power factor of the facility. Since the lamps exist in residential and commercial facilities with other loads, more penetration of energy-saving lamps in the distribution system will have little influence on power quality.Keywords: Compact fluorescent lamps, light emitting diodes, maximum power loading, total harmonic distortion, point of common coupling

Abstract

This PRISMA guided review examines how rain precipitation degrades 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) network performance, with emphasis on rain induced bit drop and its impact on end-to-end quality of service (QoS). From an initial corpus of 13,317 publications screened across IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and ELICIT, 18 peer reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2024 met the inclusion criteria. Findings show that rainfall significantly weakens mmWave signals, with specific attenuation ranging from approximately 4 to 45 dB/km at 100 mm/h, particularly in tropical regions. When QoS outcomes are reported, these losses manifest as increased bit error rates, rain driven bit drop along the link, higher packet loss and delay, and reduced throughput. Key deficiencies identified include limited empirical validation of attenuation models against packet level QoS, lack of standardized propagation datasets for short range links, and weak treatment of bit level impairments within QoS analysis. To address these gaps, the review recommends enhancing ITU R P.530 and Mie scattering models with region specific measurements, implementing rain aware adaptive protocols, and adopting standardized benchmarking frameworks that link rain attenuation, bit drop, and QoS. This synthesis offers guidance for building climate aware mmWave systems and positions bit drop as a practical metric for precipitation resilience assessment.
