Power Quality Solutions

Increasing demand for electrical energy, energy saving and CO2 reduction are the main challenges. The increasing use of power electronics causes disturbances in the grid which must either be filtered out or compensated for in order to keep the grid efficient and stable. Systems for reactive power compensation (PFC) and solutions for active or passive filtering of harmonics are required for this purpose. Reducing reactive power and improving power quality saves costs and ensures reliable operation for power generators and energy consumers in low and medium-voltage grids.

For the low voltage level, in addition to long-life reactive current capacitors, regulators, contactors and fast thyristor switches are crucial components to achieve reliable static as well as dynamic reactive power compensatio
