The Problem: Variable Speed Drives Generate Harmonics What is a Variable Speed Drive (VSD/VFD)?A Variable Speed Drive (VSD), also commonly called a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) or Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD), is an electronic device that controls the speed and torque of an AC electric motor by varying the motor's input frequency and voltage. How Do They Cause Harmonics?The internal design of a ...
From Sunlight to Storage: Enhancing Renewable Energy with AI-Driven ESS The global energy landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation. With renewable energy sources like solar and wind power gaining momentum, one major challenge remains: how to effectively store and manage this energy to ensure stability, efficiency, and reliability. This is where AI-driven Energy Storage Systems (ESS) c...
In recent years, solar energy storage systems (ESS) have become a cornerstone of off-grid and hybrid energy solutions in remote regions. This case study highlights the transformative impact of deploying a commercial solar ESS solution in a remote business complex in Montenegro. Project Overview The site, located on the outskirts of Pljevlja in northern Montenegro, consi...
Introduction As global energy demand continues to rise, distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation has emerged as a key solution for achieving sustainable and decentralized power. In Latin America, Colombia has been steadily expanding its renewable energy capacity, with the city of Medellín—a vibrant urban hub surrounded by the Andes Mountains—leading the way in solar adoption. Th...
Unlocking 35% Annual Energy Savings: How Smart Monitoring Transforms Your Bottom Line For commercial and industrial facilities, energy costs are more than just a line item on a budget—they’re a direct driver of profitability. Yet far too many organizations leave significant savings on the table, simply because they lack visibility into how, when, and where they use power. The numbers d...
