Can Power Factor Correction save money? Understanding energy consumption is key to reducing costs for commercial business owners. One often overlooked aspect is the power factor, which measures the efficiency of electrical power usage. The power factor is a unitless number used in AC circuits, representing the ratio of true power to apparent power, calculated as PF = kW / kVA. It applies to both i...
SVG vs Capacitors: Key Differences and Advantages In the world of electrical engineering, maintaining power quality is crucial for the stability and efficiency of industrial systems. When it comes to power factor correction and voltage stabilization, two common solutions are often discussed: Static Var Generators (SVG) and traditional capacitors. While both technologies serve to improve pow...
What is All-In-One Energy Storage System? An all-in-one energy storage system is a comprehensive, integrated solution that combines multiple components of energy storage and management into a single unit. Unlike traditional energy storage setups, which often require separate systems for batteries, inverters, and energy management software, an all-in-one system consolidates everything into o...
Reactive Power Compensation in Impact Load Applications What are Impact Loads? Impact loads are electrical devices that need a lot of power. They often use more than 30% of the transformer's capacity. These loads can change quickly and unpredictably. These loads can significantly affect power quality and stability, making their management a key challenge in modern power systems. Characteris...
In regions like Zimbabwe, where unreliable grid power is a persistent issue, diesel generators are indispensable for businesses and industries. However, these generators face challenges such as poor power quality, inefficient fuel usage, and unstable voltage. By integrating Static Var Generators (SVG)—such as the advanced solutions from YT Electric—into diesel generator systems, these ...
Introduction Smart capacitor integrates such advanced technologies as modern measure-control, power electronics, network communication, automation control, power capacitor and others. It changes the outdated controller technology of traditional reactive power compensation device and the switching technology that the outdated mechanical contactor or mechatronics switch is used to switch the capacit...

Battery energy storage systems (BESSes) act as reserve energy that can complement the existing grid to serve several different purposes. Potential grid applications are listed in Figure 1 and categorized as either power or energy-intensive, i.e., requiring a large energy reserve or high power capability. They can also be classified according to the deployment time scale, which ranges from millisec...
