Grid Compensation And Power Supply

e.con frequency converters can not only distribute loads and smooth peak loads but also compensate for harmonics and reactive power. The occurrence of these effects of harmonics and reactive power is unavoidable and usually requires additional costly equipment to reduce or compensate for them. By enabling the converter to provide these additional functions, significant financial and environmental benefits arise. Firstly, consumers can avoid additional devices and equipment, while grid operators can save resources in terms of wider cables and additional transformers.

Furthermore, uninterrupted power supply and island grid operation during a power outage are possible. Although prolonged power outages are rare in Germany, short-term disruptions in the millisecond range are quite common. Such a power disturbance can cause manufacturing plants to display error messages due to design constraints or even shut down completely. This occurs regardless of whether a production process is in progress or completed. For companies with continuous manufacturing processes or processing of high-value raw materials, such interruptions pose a significant risk.
