Improving the power quality within industrial facilities can have a significant impact on energy efficiency.

​

There are multiple power quality issues that afflict today’s high-energy consumers including current and voltage harmonics, reactive currents, voltage surges/drops, harmful interactions and flickers. This electrical pollution is caused by the presence of VFDs/inverters attached to most electric motors, DC converters, Soft Starters, Rectifiers, and other power electronics which can be found in most industrial environments. 

​

Harmonic voltages & currents in particular decrease the efficiency of electrical motors between 5-10%, increase the copper and iron losses of power transformers and reduce their efficiency by approximately 2%.

 

Reduced voltage in the grid also reduces the energy efficiency of electric motors between 7-10%. Moreover, poor power quality increases the thermal losses in cables between 0.5-1.5%. Harmful interactions between the electric loads could lead to a dangerous amplification of the harmonic currents. When all these problems add up within a facility the energy efficiency can dramatically decrease.

​

SENERQON’s team has 30 years of experience in implementing successful electric energy saving projects across all industries including steel mills, chemicals, refineries, cement plants, pharmaceuticals, manufactured goods, paper mills and many more.

 

SENERQON’s customized solutions address all the above-mentioned power quality issues and can guarantee a reduction in the overall electricity consumption between 7-13% in industrial facilities.

Large commercial and residential buildings such as malls, resort hotels, towers, and hospitals can save a lot of money if the power quality issues within their electrical grid are addressed properly. 

​

SENERQON's team has years of experience in solving power quality issues and improving the efficiency of the building's heat pumps, elevator motors, air conditioning units, and lighting which can lead to significant electricity savings of up to 13%.

 

SENERQON’s customized interventions can be installed in parallel to the feeding panels of the most important electrical loads within the building and eliminate all the power quality issues at their source, minimizing the harmful interactions between the loads. 

​

Just like heavy industrial facilities, larger buildings can suffer from the same power quality problems. Harmonic voltages & currents in particular decrease the efficiency of electrical motors between 5-10%, increase the copper and iron losses of power transformers and reduce their efficiency by approximately 2%.

 

Reduced voltage in the grid also reduces the energy efficiency of electric motors by between 7-10%. Moreover, poor power quality increases the thermal losses in cables between 0.5-1.5%. Harmful interactions between the electric loads could lead to the dangerous resonance of the harmonic currents. When all these problems add up within a facility the energy efficiency can dramatically decrease.

​

SENERQON’s team has great experience in implementing significant energy savings in major luxurious resorts hotels, and towers in the urban centers of Europe, North America, and of the Middle east, as well as large hospitals and malls. Our expertise in such facilities allows us to promise significant energy savings results.

SENERQON designs and constructs the electrical installation of new industrial and commercial facilities with the energy-saving philosophy in mind.

​

SENERQON can design and build:

 

• new substations,

• low and medium-voltage distribution rooms,

• transformer rooms,

• and any other electrical facility according to the local standards and requirements of the clients.

​

Our experienced electrical engineers and technicians will build your new or retrofitted electrical installation always taking into consideration the power quality issues which are going to afflict this new facility.

​

Having this knowledge in advance allows SENERQON to design, build and install energy-saving interventions before the facility even starts operating, therefore, building an energy-efficient facility from day one and reducing significantly the construction cost.
