Applications of Power Factor Correction
Our power factor correction solutions are versatile and optimized for various industries. Whether you’re in manufacturing, building technology, energy supply, or renewable energy, we have the right solution for you. Public transport systems and data centers also benefit from improved energy efficiency and mains stability.
Industrial Operations
In industries with many motors and inductive loads, such as manufacturing plants or steel mills, reactive power compensation is used to improve the power factor. By reducing reactive power, the low-voltage grid can be used more efficiently, which not only lowers energy costs but also minimizes the risk of grid overload. Better grid quality also contributes to the longevity of machinery and equipment.
Energy Suppliers
For energy providers, power factor correction is essential to optimize voltage stability and transmission capacity within the power grid. Especially in high-voltage grids, losses due to reactive power are avoided, making long-distance electricity transmission more efficient. This leads to reduced grid strain and better utilization of existing infrastructure.
Building Technology
In large building complexes such as office buildings, shopping centers, or hospitals, compensation systems are used to maximize the efficiency of electrical systems. These systems help reduce energy losses, lower electricity costs, and extend the lifespan of electrical devices, making operations more economical and environmentally friendly.
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy plants, such as wind and solar power stations, are significantly affected by fluctuations in grid quality. Power factor correction plays a crucial role in stabilizing voltage and ensuring the smooth integration of these energy sources into the public grid. This enhances efficiency and prevents grid disturbances like voltage spikes.
Public Transportation Systems
Electric trains, subways, and trams rely on power factor correction to keep their electrical grids stable and efficient. Since these systems require high power loads, minimizing losses and ensuring grid quality are critical to maintaining smooth operation and reliable power supply.
Data Centers
Data centers require highly stable and reliable power supply to avoid downtime. Power factor correction helps improve grid stability and optimize energy consumption. This contributes to reducing operating costs and the environmental footprint, while enhancing the performance of IT infrastructure.
In summary:
Power factor correction improves the efficiency of power supply, reduces energy losses, and contributes to the stability and reliability of electrical grids. It is indispensable for anyone looking to ensure a cost-effective and stable power supply.
