"For
every dollar that is invested in conservation, two or three dollars of
net savings are realized
over the life of the
investment.
Conservation is Ontario's most environmentally friendly and cost
effective resource as Ontario needs a balanced, cost-effective supply
mix..."--Ontario's Long Term Energy Plan, 2011.
Two of
the most
important
and
cyclically negative factors in the electrical field which counteract
with the philosophies of energy efficiency, reliability, and cost
effectiveness are harmonics and low
power factor of
which are the road
blocks to achieving good power
quality.
Having
a
good power quality is
about having a great power supply that is always available, always
within voltage and frequency tolerances, and has a pure noise free
sinusoidal wave shape, yet this is not simple because, the quality of
delivered power at the point of use is the end user's responsibility as
the supply industry refuses to having to provide a high reliability
supply to every customer on the network. This leaves many important
and high critical
operations / customers such
as hospitals, financial institutions, airports, telecommunication
industries, transportation and traffic controllers, security services,
automotive manufacturers, plastics molders, pulp and paper mills,
pharmaceuticals, and much more with a huge burden and
headache.
Everyday
faster and
more
capable equipment are being introduced into the market which might
improve
the efficiency of the product itself; however, they also create
harmonics on a continual basis which lower power quality and increase
power consumption. This means that as long as electronic parts are used
in production of equipment, harmonics will be created, hence power
quality will be reduced, and power wastage will continue. As evident,
the load profile of electronic equipment from the computers in the
office to the Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) in the plants, drive both
additional losses and unwanted distortions according to the IEEE
standards. Unfortunately, harmonic problems are always attributed to
the consumer. Harmonics have numerous ramifications such as lowering
the quality of the supplied power, causing equipment malfunction(s),
equipment failure(s), unexplained tripping(s) of the breakers and even
complete shut-down of the related facility and of course, harmonics
also reduce the efficiency of the equipment in the electrical system
resulting in lower power factor for the facility.
We
personally invite you to
revisit your energy infrastructure and to truly understand where your
business' efficiency stands.
Investing in Synergy
Energy's
high quality and highly energy efficient products
is the cheapest form
of
energy you can get and it is an excellent move towards sustainability
and environmental protection! |

Harmonics cause
extra losses in direct line-connected
induction motors.
The
5th harmonic creates a counter-rotating field, whereas the 7th harmonic
creates a rotating field beyond the motor's synchronous speed. Since
the speed is fixed, the energy contained in these harmonics dissipate
as extra heat which result in premature aging of the equipment.
Harmonic currents induced into the rotor causes further excess
heat. The additional heat changes the rotor/stator air gap, reducing
efficiency even further.
To solve this problem, Variable Frequency
Drives (VFDs) are
utilized as remedy.
Yet, one needs to consider that VFDs themselves are intrinsically
flawed as they create harmonics and tend to be
sensitive to dips, causing disruption of synchronized manufacturing
lines. Additionally, VFDs cause voltage spikes due to the sharp voltage
rise times.
So, instead of a remedy, what is the solution that solves the problem
at the root? Be sure to Contact
Us and explore the most suitable solution! |

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 the
third party verification body, Intertek, which is one of the most
trusted test organizations in the world.
Where applicable, products carry the Intertek Efficiency Verification
logo together with the related verification number. |
