Does Static Var Generator Really Save Energy?

Power factor is a measurement of electrical system efficiency. Many utilities have a power factor penalty built into their rate structure to penalize users with a low power factor reading in their electrical system. To improve the power factor, the most common solution is to install a capacitor banks, But Static Var Generator is the best power factor correction product.

There are 3 kinds of electricity loads: resistive (e.g. lights, water heaters, coil heaters, etc),inductive loads (e.g. ceiling fans, pumps, air conditioners and refrigerators) and capacitive Loads(Batteries,Buried cables, motor starter circuit). For resistive load, the energy (or electricity) supplied by utility is mostly same as the electricity used by the appliance. But in case of inductive and capacitive loads, some energy is used up to create magnetic field that is not useful. And the formula for the same is:

kVAh (energy supplied by utility) x  P.F (Power Factor) = kWh (energy used by appliance)

A power saver device improves the power factor that results in lesser kVAh (energy supplied by utility) per kWh (energy used by appliance). It does so by reducing the electrical current drawn from the utility.

YTPQC-SVG Static Var Generator is the newest technology on the market used to correct power factor issues. Utilizing 3 level topology inverter technology, YTPQC-SVG delivers instantaneous reactive power(inductive and capacitive) to the grid by injecting current within 5ms. With no risk of over compensation or under compensation, YTPQC-SVG can compensate the power factor of the system to > 0.99 under all load conditions. YTPQC-SVG can regulate the power factor of both leading and lagging loads, and can compensate unbalanced networks as well.
