Energy Efficiency

Electricity bills account for a high percentage of total costs of a 24-7 operating industry. Optimising the use of energy can significantly reduce the total power consumption, cost and environmental effects. Besides, with improved power quality, maintenance cost can be reduced and lengthen the lifespan of the equipment.

Voltage optimisation can be achieved by matching the incoming voltage from utilities with the optimum voltage required by the equipment. Equipment efficiency could be increased by operating at optimum voltage while reducing the total power consumed by the loads.

1. High energy costs.
2. Overheating and equipment failure.
3. Voltage instability & problems.

How Voltage Optimisation helps you in cost-saving?

Utilities usually supply slightly higher nominal power than required to ensure acceptable voltage levels are provided to all customers considering the voltage drop and loadings. Therefore, the voltage levels received by customers are commonly higher than the voltage required by the equipment to operate, increasing the energy cost. In a worst-case scenario, it could lead to overvoltage problems. Glopower provides a voltage optimisation solution that helps to lower the voltage level down to optimum values. With the overvoltage problems eliminated, lower equipment maintenance cost, equipment with longer lifespan and reduced electricity bills can be achieved.

1. Low power factor.
2. Unstable equipment operation (e.g. overheating, mechanical oscillation, audible noise)
3. Frequent equipment failure and maintenance.
4. Frequent tripping of devices (e.g. circuit breaker, contactor, power electronics devices)

Power factor correction and reactive power compensation have been effectively practised throughout the electrical industry for years. Glopower can provide proper mitigation techniques to manage and optimise the consumption of reactive power.

Harmonics are common in industries with many non-linear loads (e.g. converters, chargers & controllers, furnaces, solar inverter). Harmonics current can slowly degrade the equipment. A worst-case scenario where resonance happens can destroy the equipment that provides low impedance paths, such as the capacitors bank. Harmonics problem can incur extensive maintenance and replacement cost if not properly mitigated.

When does harmonics management suitable for you?

1. Capacitor failures.
2. Overheating of equipment.
3. Misoperations of electronic devices.

How Harmonics Management helps you in cost-saving?

Harmonics problem are not easily visible until a detailed measurement is taken or equipment misbehaving.  Therefore, Glopower can support in analysing and provide the most suitable harmonics mitigation techniques. The detrimental effect from harmonics as a hidden problem can be prevented and achieve cost-saving.
