"Benefits of Power Factor Correction"

When did the power factor correction system trip? The power of both online remote metering and power factor correction is demonstrated in the graph above, the customer has an 800A three phase supply and following unplanned outages engaged with EnergyAce to create a solution and alternative to installing a new larger supply. EnergyAce remote metering and monitoring established the supply was overloaded and the company had an estimate of £900K for a new larger supply although the EnergyAce solution to improve the power factor and reduce currents without switching any machines off line was around £12K installed. Without the power factor correction in circuit the supply is in danger of overload as EnergyAce reduces the circuit currents by around 400A…

"How Much Solar Power do We Need to Power The Whole World ?"

A: The size of Canada 3,800,000 Million square miles B: The size of Australia 2,900,000 Million square miles C: The size of Germany 138,000 square miles D: The size of Scotland 31,000 square miles E: The size of Luxemburg 1,000 square miles Answer – See Below With the ozone layer now showing real signs of continuing recovery from man-made damage and likely to heal fully by 2060 thanks mainly to a multilateral agreement like the Montreal protocol. Plus the United Nations Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution protocol internationally recognised and signed by at least 27 countries, all but eradicating Acid Rain of the 70s, 80s & 90s, what will it take to make a real impact on greenhouse gas emissions…

"Remote Energy Monitoring Save What You See"

Its often very difficult to save something that you cant see and for many companies energy is one of the largest operating costs, second only to staff salaries. For energy-intensive businesses, energy can be the main cost and often in some cases the differentiation between financial profit & loss. That’s why it is vital for most business to understand where and when energy is consumed to enable a coherent energy reduction strategy to be drawn up and implemented remote energy metering and monitoring Online Remote Energy Metering & Monitoring The first stage of any energy reduction scheme should be to gather accurate information and data on your existing energy consumption through remote metering and monitoring for example. This step is…

"What is power factor correction and how does it work UK"

Power Factor Correction is a capacitor based device normally installed on the electrical distribution system, its purpose is to improve efficiency known as power factor when operating machines or motors. Power Factor Correction works by automatically switching capacitors in or out of circuit on a varying electrical load to counteract the negative inefficient effects of motors and machines. Power Factor is the difference between Real Power, useful power neededto perform a task and Reactive Power, Power drawn in addition to useful power but does notcontribute to the task, effectively you may be paying for power that’s being wasted which could be likened to a large head on a pint of beer. The ultimate desired power factor is 1.00pf (100% efficient)…

"Power Factor Correction & Voltage Optimisation In High Demand"

Not long now until EnergyAce moves into brand new purpose built premises. The huge demand for EnergyAce in many Industrial and commercial applications and the development of the remote online metering, monitoring and protection systems has resulted in a need to move to a larger factory manufacturing power factor correction, voltage optimisation systems, metering solutions and switchgear. Changes is the way penalties like reactive power is charged on electricity bills means that power factor correction systems are now in high demand and keeping up with manufacture a challenge we have had to meet head on. Energy metering is now a must for all businesses, rising energy costs, changes in the way energy is billed and the need to reduce carbon…

"Welcome To The EnergyAce Team"

EnergyAce are very pleased to announce two new engineers to the family. Please welcome Tom Ryan and Anthony Jaycocks. A significant growth in demand for our EnergyAce Energy Saving System has created a need for two new additional engineers for both our manufacturing department and our field engineering department. Tom joins us after working on numerous electrical engineering projects. His experience will be valuable to us in both manufacturing our energy saving equipment and also in servicing the equipment out in the field. Tom commented “Having previously worked in the renewables industry, I feel it is important for businesses to ensure they are running efficiently in order to cut their costs and to help the environment”. Anthony joins our field…
