The efficiency of the power grid is a key element in containing costs and ensuring the proper operation of industrial plants.
The company set the goal of eliminating the penalties imposed by the distributor and reducing the transmission losses associated with the withdrawal of reactive power from the grid. To achieve this, it was decided to install a power factor correction system, so as to optimize reactive power management and improve the overall efficiency of the power system.
The intervention included the installation of a distributed power factor correction system by connecting capacitor banks directly to the loads.
The technical advantages of the adopted solution include:
1
Reduction of reactive power drawn from the grid
The capacitor system compensates locally for the reactive energy needed by the plants, decreasing the withdrawal from the power grid.
2
Decreased currents in the distribution system.
With less reactive power demand, currents circulating in cables are reduced, lowering transport losses.
3
Improvement of tension stability
Reducing voltage drops ensures more efficient operation of grid-connected equipment.
The total investment for the intervention was €9,000, a low cost compared to the benefits obtained in terms of efficiency and cost savings.
The installation of the power factor correction system has brought immediate and measurable benefits:
Total elimination of penalties
The company no longer has to bear the costs imposed by the distributor for reactive power withdrawal.
Savings of about 3% per year on electricity consumption
Optimization of the internal network allows less energy to be wasted.
Elimination of additional costs associated with penalties
Lower fixed expenses in the electricity bill.
Improved efficiency of the internal power grid
Reduction of transport losses and voltage drops.
Quick investment to amortize
With a limited initial cost, the payback is immediate due to the elimination of penalties and energy savings.
Improved plant reliability
Reducing voltage fluctuations increases the operational stability of machinery.
The implementation of a distributed rephasing system proved to be an effective solution to eliminate distributor-imposed penalties, improve reactive power management, and optimize the performance of the power grid. With a low investment and an immediate economic benefit, the intervention resulted in tangible savings and increased energy efficiency in the long term.
