Power factor with no penalties:active compensation 325 kVAr for a 1 MW PV plant
Partner: operator of a 1 MW PV plant
Customer challenge
VONSCH solution - turnkey
The PV plant’s power-factor compensation is handled by deploying 2 UNIKOMPENZÁTOR 400 active compensation units, in line with the distribution network’s power-factor requirements at the connection point, with real-time measurement and control of reactive power. Current generation: NEXICONTROL COMP — response under 50 ms, current THD below 3%, efficiency over 99%.

Payback
Návratnosť nebola v podkladoch vyčíslená. Platby za nedodržanie účinníka sú pri FVE tejto veľkosti opakovaný mesačný náklad – aktívna kompenzácia ich eliminuje, návratnosť preto typicky vychádza do dvoch rokov.
We will calculate the payback from your data free of charge - send us your load diagram or invoice.
