Medium-voltage solutions
TKF’s medium-voltage solutions maintain power quality at the level required by standards at the client’s grid connection point. Better power quality offers many benefits and advantages, such as lower power losses, improved grid efficiency and reliability, and financial savings.
We help our clients maintain power quality at the level required by standards at their grid connection point. The limits and values for power quality are defined by various standards, such as the EN 50160 standard.
Benefits of better power quality
and network efficiency
Benefits
– Reduced power losses, so the network and transformers are subjected to lower currents
– Avoid reactive power fees that would otherwise be billed by the network operator
– Improved efficiency and reliability of the electricity network, and fewer disruptions to devices connected to the network
– Higher load capacity of the network (after removing reactive power and harmonic distortions, there is room for active power to increase)
– Longer expected service life of electrical equipment (lower losses mean more years of service)
– Financial savings and improved environmental performance (reduced need for investments in the network)
Medium-voltage solutions
power quality
TKF’s medium-voltage solutions improve power quality and efficiency in electricity networks by improving the power factor and eliminating harmonic currents.
Our solutions help ensure adequate power quality, not only at the grid connection point, but also in various parts of the internal network. It is important to remember to maintain all parts of the network, as an electricity network can be extensive, with numerous transformers and main switchgear units. In these situations, it is important to look at the big picture rather than just the grid connection point. Poor power quality in the internal network causes power losses and may lead to malfunctions in the network and related electrical equipment.
We provide solutions for network operators, power production, contractors, and various industrial sectors, such as heavy industry and the steel, paper, chemical, and mining industries.
TKF's solutions are used at thousands of sites, ranging from office buildings to industrial facilities
Needs range from standard reactive power compensation to demanding applications that are critical to society. Hospitals (such as Tampere University Hospital and Satakunta Central Hospital in Finland), the Finnish Defence Forces, infrastructure projects (Helsinki Airport and the Helsinki metro), industry, real estate companies (VVO, Senate Properties), and electrical installations.
