One
of our greatest pioneers once said, "in the struggle for survival, the
fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in
adapting themselves best to their environment. Change with your business or be left behind. It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change"--Charles Darwin.
To
copy-produce and repeat what all others are doing is not an achievement. There
is no sense or reward in being a follower, but to be a leader, set
landmarks, and spark the desire in others to follow your lead is definitely a
great accomplishment.
Building towards its mission To Save Energy and Improve Power Quality,
Synergy Energy Inc. is a leader and a premier designer and manufacturer
of dry-type copper wound electromagnetic devices for the electrical
power challenges of the 21st Century.
All products released by Synergy Energy Inc.
are custom designed with the utmost excellence, as great engineering expertise
in conjunction with care and understanding for the customer's needs are
continually utilized.
Throughout production, all units undergo a rigorous quality control
routine accompanied by their own unique bar code, creating a strictly
controlled production tracking system that eliminates human error(s).
Such unique harmony allows Synergy Energy Inc. to not only meet but
rather far exceed industry-wide manufacturing expectations.
In this months newsletter, another product of Synergy Energy Inc. that falls under the "harmonic mitigating" category will be introduced.
The VFDS (Variable Frequency Drive Solution) is a high efficiency
device. It is specifically designed to mitigate the 5th and 7th
harmonics created by a nonlinear load such as a Variable Frequency
Drive. The VFDS is very
efficient, reliable, and a long lasting electromagnetic based device.

| nonlinear loads - sources of harmonics |
|
The VFDS takes advantage of phase shifting to mitigate the targeted
harmonics that have been created from another source. The reduction of
the 5th and 7th harmonics provides cleaner voltage to the other
equipment in the facility as well as reduces equipment malfunctions and
failures.
The VFDS is to be
installed upstream of a linear load and downstream of the busbar or the
riser. This unit has been designed in such manner that all connection
points are accessible from the front.
Once the product is ready for shipment, Synergy Energy takes great
precautions as the units in gray NEMA-3R enclosures
are shrink-wrapped along with corner protectors. Afterwards, the unit is placed on Synergy
Energy's unique SmartSkid® which possesses unparalleled advantages.
Last but not least, Synergy Energy Inc. provides one of the longest warranties in the business and the VFDS is given 15 years pro-rated one.
It was Mario Andretti who said, "desire
is the key to motivation, but it is the determination and commitment to
an unrelenting pursuit of your goal-a commitment to excellence-that
will enable you to attain the success you seek". |

A
nonlinear load in a power system is characterized by the introduction
of a switching action and consequently current interruptions. This
behavior provides current with different components that are multiples
of the fundamental frequency of the system. These components are called
harmonics. (Harmonics were discussed in Synergy Energy's February
issue).
Some examples of nonlinear loads that can generate harmonic currents
are computers, fax machines, printers, PLCs, refrigerators, TVs, and
electronic lighting ballasts. Personal computers constitute nonlinear
loads since they incorporate switched-mode power supplies. The PC
current is mainly dominated by the third and fifth harmonic components.
Different from a linear load, the harmonic currents cannot be corrected
by the use of capacitors and inductors, but by the use of Harmonic Mitigating Transformers.
The
more nonlinear loads connected, the higher the overall sum of
harmonics. Harmonics can damage components like fuses and circuit
breakers, and can cause utility meters to record wrong measurements. |

Synergy Energy Inc.: THE SOLUTION |
|
|
|
|
|
Since
harmonics cause much more problems than simply overheating the
transformers, it is more appropriate to make use of a resource that is
able to reduce the system voltage distortion. Harmonic Mitigating Transformers are
efficient in solving overheating and power quality problems generated
by harmonics. The voltage distortion at the output is kept very low
because of the cancellation of the harmonic mitigating fluxes within
the transformer's windings. |
|
|
|
|
|
Efficiency Levels |
|
|
|
|
|
Transformers
designed and manufactured by Synergy Energy Inc. meet and exceed the
required efficiency levels of NEMA TP-1, CSA 802.2, and US Department
of Energy (DOE) CSL-3 standards. Furthermore, the efficiency compliance
with NEMA and CSA standards of the transformers are verified by,
Intertek, the third party verification body which is one of the most
trusted test organizations in the world. |
