Even though power authorities in all parts of the world work hard on supplying the best electric power quality that is free from corruption, local or unforeseen circumstances such as neighbouring industries, storms or accidents have often been reported to intervene and cause irregularities in the power quality and cripple the operations. With the technology evolving each day, a lot has been done to make electronic equipment less tolerant to transient voltages.
Some of the most common problems one has to experience because of poor power quality include:
- Under-voltage
- Temporary over-voltage (TOV)
- Transients
- Power outages
- Noise
- Dropouts
- Harmonic distortion
- Frequency variations
Most of the above-mentioned problems can be dealt with efficiently by relying on power quality solutions such as
- Surge Protection Devices (SPDs)
- Filters
- Line Conditioners
- UPSs
- Short Break or Standby
- True on line
- Hybrid
- Isolation Transformers
While we try to gather information about the problems and solutions related to power quality, it is important to understand what causes fluctuations in the supply. Most power surges and disturbances are often a result of lighting and power switching transients. Switching of inductive loads such as motors, air conditioning plants, domestic appliances and more can cause huge transient spikes.
Icopower ESCO deals with problems related to power quality with the help of voltage optimization solutions, power factor correction, and harmonics. Our mission is to analyze, design, and implement energy efficiency solutions that will create value for facility owners and operators across all sectors in East Africa and beyond and we work with our clients to reduce operating expenses, upgrade and maintain infrastructure, stabilize energy costs, improve infrastructure efficiency, increase energy reliability and conserve the environment by reducing the carbon footprint.
