Energy efficiency for clients
For example, a remote mine might generate its own energy using diesel generators. The power factor correction system installed in the equipment allows the generators to produce true active power instead of the reactive power consumed by the equipment. Mines are increasingly producing their energy from solar and wind power, which further underlines the importance of the power factor. If a mine is connected to the grid, a poor power factor significantly increases the fees the mine pays to the network operator.
Electrical compatibility
Equipment is often used in challenging operating environments: factories with industry-specific characteristics, transportation underground, on land, at sea, and in the air, or perhaps a remote mine. Any equipment installed in the operating environment must function without causing interference in the electricity network. On the other hand, the equipment must be able to withstand any harmonic distortions, power outages, and other fluctuations in power quality that may occur in the network. TKF’s solutions ensure that the equipment is suitable for its operating environment in terms of power quality.
