The importance of energy quality

One of the most common power quality problems in industrial environments is voltage and current imbalances. These fluctuations between the three phases of the power grid voltage can cause a serious problem. The presence of renewable energy generation and electronic elements, such as photovoltaic and wind inverters, can also cause this type of grid quality problems.

Reactive energy

  • Reactive energy is not actually consumed in the installation, since it does not produce useful work because its average value is zero.
  • For this reason, electricity companies penalize the consumption of reactive energy over a certain value on their bills, since this energy is transported and takes up space.
  • It is like the foam on a beer, it takes up space, but it is not beer
  • In addition to affecting a company by charging a penalty on the electricity bill, it also causes the installation's power to drop, forcing it to have a higher power contracted. It also produces variations in the electrical intensity, which can generate voltage drops and overloads. Therefore, it can end up damaging the electrical installation.

HARMONIC CURRENTS 

  1. They are one of the factors with the greatest influence on the network quality of the installations, more specifically in reference to the waveform
  2. One of the main problems that must be addressed to ensure maximum efficiency in the electrical power systems of any company are harmonics: distortions caused by variations in the waveform of the voltage or current
  3. Harmonics have important economic consequences in the installations. Especially in Photovoltaic Energy, Wind Energy, LED lighting, Fluorescent and UPS installations

PHASE BALANCING

  • One of the most common power quality problems in industrial environments is voltage and current imbalances. The presence of renewable energy generation and electronic elements, such as photovoltaic inverters, can also cause this type of grid quality problems.
  • Voltage imbalances can cause damage to our electronic equipment,
  • Power losses.
  • Overheating.
  • Asymmetric wear.
  • Load imbalance.

 Phantom consumption

In all installations there are devices that are always connected to the network even if they are not running.
These devices, such as computers, routers, automatic systems, etc., that are in standby, are consuming a phantom current.

The silent consumption of household appliances
The enemy of savings

It is estimated that phantom consumption accounts for between 7 and 11% of electricity consumption
Phantom consumption is a reality that not everyone always considers.
An energy expenditure that does not respond to any use, and which can be stopped with relative ease
