Power factor correction boosts your efficiencyPower systems sometimes need helpIn AC distribution systems, the maximum active power is transmitted to a load when voltage and current are in phase and undistorted. However, alternating current contains multiple components that fluctuate depending upon the load.
Harmonics: > additional factors include
the effect of non-linear loads such as those
created by modern electronic devices.
They can create harmonic distortion in
the power system that causes voltage
fluctuation and power quality problems,
resulting in increased operating costs.
Active filters can solve the problem.
Before correction After correctionReactive power (kvar) > is the product
of inductive or capacitive loads such as
AC motors, transformers, etc. and it
produces no productive work.
Active power (kW) > does real work in
loads such as motors, lights, heaters,
computers, and more. It is converted into
the mechanical force, heat, or light you need
to run your business.
Power Factor (PF) > describes the ratio
between kW and kvar and is the standard
measure of electrical system efficiency.
Utilities supply customers with watts but the
supply system must be rated for volts and
amperes. Power factor below 1.0 or unity
requires a utility to generate more than the
minimum volt-amperes necessary to provide
real power. This increases generation and
transmission costs, which are billed to
customers with poor power factor.

Schneider Electric solution
Faced with fast-rising demand, a distribution network running at capacity, plus transformer and switchgear difficulties, the Ministry of Electricity and Water turned to Schneider Electric for a solution that would leave electricity tariffs unchanged and keep them amongst the world’s lowest.
Endesa Group operates part of Spain’s medium voltage distribution network, generates 47% of its electricity and controls 43% of the nation’s distribution. Poor network reliability is not an option and decreasing reactive power losses a must.
Customer need
On the low voltage network, the Ministry of Electricity and Water installed 240 capacitor banks and 20 active harmonic filters in upwards of 75 substations. Advanced power quality meters remotely monitor each capacitor bank, and although rated for 50°C ambient temperature, outdoor capacitor banks are cooled to ensure uninterrupted performance even during the most severe temperatures.
To decrease reactive power losses and improve distribution network quality, a comprehensive and reliable automatic and fixed capacitor bank solution up to 25 kV was recommended.

Power Factor CorrectionSolutions for Energy Efficiency
Power factor boosted from 0.65 to 0.99
Current harmonic distortion reduced from 43.7% to 7%
Payback
The Medellin Metrocable car system is driven by two 535 kW motors, with two 960 kW variable speed controllers that cause harmonic distortion and produce poor power factor.
To comply with utility regulations and provide the most effective, flexible and efficient solution, two AccuSineTM PCS active harmonic filters, rated at 300 A were installed.
Because each electrical installation is unique, one of a kind power factor correction solutions are our specialty.
Using a combination of high-quality, expandable and compatible equipment, we can precision engineer a solution that provides all the efficiency and reliability your power system needs for peak performance.
