The Impact Of Power Factor Correction On Your Utility Bill

Some of the top benefits of power factor correction are increased load carrying capabilities in existing circuits and reduction in demand charges on the power systems. The best part is that these benefits aren't just limited to the balance sheet. Rather, there are numerous environmental benefits too associated with it, which involves reducing the carbon footprint and serving the environment. Apart from that, it also impacts your utility bill the following ways:

· Reduces Demand Charges:

The electric utility companies charge based on maximum metered demand which is based on the greater of two - either the percentage of the highest registered demand in KVA meter or the highest registered demand which is measured in kilowatts. Nevertheless, you can reduce the electricity bill by lowering the demand charge and improving the power factor. Quite easy, isn't it?

· Decreases the Carbon Footprint:

When the demand charge of the power system reduces, less strain is imposed on the electricity grid, which in turn reduces the carbon footprint - all thanks to power factor correction. Nevertheless, when the demand for the electricity grid lowers, the carbon production is reduced drastically and this, in turn, helps in the improvement of the electrical efficiency of the power system.

· Avoids Power Factor Penalties:

Massive quantities of induction motors are being used by nearly all the industrial processing facilities for driving their conveyors, pumps, and other plant machinery. This causes the power factor to reduce drastically. Businesses can eliminate their bill's power factor penalty by making use of power factor correction.  

· Reduces Power System Loss:

The loss reduction from the conductor isn't sufficient to justify the capacitors' installation. However, this comes with an attractive additional benefit especially with plants that have long feeders or in times of field pumping operations.

To make the most of power factor correction, reach out to Icopower ESCO, a company known for providing the best power quality solutions in Kenya and Seychelles. They also provide services like power quality monitoring to help businesses cut down their energy costs and consumption.

Here’s Why You Should Invest In A Voltage Optimization System

If the voltage supply of the electrical equipment reduces, the energy usage and power consumption levels tend to decrease. Many voltage adjustment devices have been designed for controlling the voltage, reducing energy costs and in turn saving money. The higher input voltage is usually taken in from the electricity grid, which in turn comes out in the form of optimized lower voltage.

As voltage power optimization has been proven to be a trusted method of reducing energy costs and carbon emissions, it is widely used by businesses across various industries.

A voltage optimization system improves electric power efficiency in the following ways:

· This energy-efficient method provides payback within 1-2 years.

· It is a full-proof method which assures that your electrical equipment is provided with only optimal voltage.

· This system can be effectively installed in the equipment that has low voltage incomers and distribution levels.

If you're still unsure if voltage optimization is the most appropriate energy management solution for you, feel free to reach out to the experts at Icopower ESCO to discuss your voltage optimization needs.

They are the experts in voltage management and have been working with distinct technologies like voltage stabilization, voltage reduction, and voltage power optimization from the past several years. They can also help you in correcting problems like phase imbalances, over-voltage, and under-voltage. Their focus is on the reduction of energy consumption by making use of voltage optimization. They work efficiently in installing this technology on either your existing infrastructure for minimizing consumption, reducing equipment's voltage supply or others in accordance to the manufacturer's operating conditions.
