Tech Talks: Reduce Electrical energy Losses in Buildings; Proven Ways
REDUCE ELECTRICAL LOSSES IN BUILDINGS : As savings in terms of costs are the main concern for the operators, the first approach is to try to reduce electrical energy losses in buildings. Let’s observe three proven ways to reduce electrical energy losses in buildings: Improve the power factor Reduce the harmonic ratio Reduce heat losses on the electricity supply network 1. Improve the power factor: Reactive power is consumed in the magnetic circuits of loads such as motors and by non- compensated fluorescent lighting. If not corrected, the current circulating in the conductors increases although the same level of active power is being used. Reactive power generators (capacitors) The solution to this problem is to install reactive power generators (capacitors), either closest to the loads which consume it (local compensation) or at selected points on the electricity supp...
