What Is Energy Storage

Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. This can apply across the full spectrum of timebase and energy density, which means energy can be stored for nanoseconds or years and in applications ranging from picowatts to […]

Static Synchronous Compensator – STATCOM Faqs

1: What model sizes do you have? The range is from 30 kVAr to 3800 kVAr. We can build systems up to several hundred MVAr.   2: What is the voltage range? Our smaller units of 30 – 200 kVAr are connected at 400VAC, while our larger models of 1900, 2850 and 3800 kVAr connect […]

Power Factor Correction Solutions

A poor power factor due to induction motors, transformers, and other inductive loads can be corrected by connecting suitable capacitors. A poor power factor caused by distorted current waveform is corrected by adding harmonic filters. The process of creating the magnetic field required by an inductive load causes a phase difference between the voltage and […]

How to use static var generator to improve power factor

In practical power systems it is nearly impossible to maintain perfect balance or symmetry between phase currents. The diversity of the load such as single phase, non-linear loads like VSD and UPS, and generally imbalanced three phase loads all increase the amount of imbalance in any given system. Trying to spread load evenly across all […]
