Power quality refers to the ability of electrical equipment to consume the energy being supplied to it in an efficient and effective manner. A number of power quality issues including electrical harmonics, poor power factor, voltage instability and imbalance impact on the efficiency of electrical equipment.
This has a number of consequences including:
Power Quality – the efficiency and effectiveness of power supply. Good power quality is critical in efficient and uninterrupted industrial processes. Poor power quality can result in unstable equipment operation or failure, inefficiencies and reduced equipment lifespan, interruption of supply and plant down-time. Delta Technocrats specialise in evaluating, auditing and addressing a wide range of power quality issues to increase plant, motor and equipment efficiencies and the bottom line.
Power consumption can be influenced by an intricate and complex set of variables. Our deep knowledge of power supply and electrical systems allow us to pinpoint your requirements as a power user and design or assign a solution that addresses your needs.This is generally done in 2 ways:
Power Quality products can be sorted in five general categories.
1. Power Filters
Active power filters (APF) are devices connected in parallel with the load to be compensated. They can be understood as controlled current sources that provide any kind of current waveform (in terms of phase, amplitude and frequency) in real time (response time <100μs). APFs are flexible, high performance and cost-effective solutions used to mitigate all the power quality problems generated by the equipment installed in electric power systems, enhancing equipment operating life time, and improving power system capacity.
Power Filter products include:
2. Power Factor
Power Factor Correction (PFC) aims to improve power factor and hence power quality, switching in capacitors to offset usually inductive loads, for example electric motors. PFC systems increase the efficiency of power supply, delivering immediate cost savings on electricity.
Technologies in this group include:
3. Static Compensators
STATCOM and SVC use power electronics for regulating voltage, power factor, harmonics and stabilising voltage of medium and high voltage systems. They are called Static as they have no moving parts (other than internal switchgear).
The speed of response of a STATCOM is faster than that of an SVC and the harmonic emission is lower, however STATCOMs typically exhibit higher losses and may be more expensive than SVC. Selecting which is best depends on your system characteristics and need for compensation of either or both reactive power or voltage stability.
Prior to the invention of the SVC, power factor compensation was the preserve of large rotating machines such as synchronous condensers or switched capacitor banks.

4. Voltage Management
Voltage Management is a process by which the incoming voltage from a power source such as the grid or solar array, is optimised or stabilised to alleviate low, high, or changing voltages.
Voltage optimisation specifically aims to reduce the voltage received by electrical equipment to improve operating efficiency as well as reduce energy costs and power demand. It can improve power quality by eliminating or minimising transient voltages as well as balancing phase voltages.
STATCOM and SVC are used to stabilise medium and high voltage as well as to filter harmonic distortion and control reactive power.

5. Energy Storage Devices
These products prevent power loss by storing energy in capacitors and/or batteries to maintain constant supply. By storing power, these units can use this stored energy to either replace the existing supply where needed or to address inconsistencies or errors in the supply. UPQ systems combine power quality improvement, UPS system and power & voltage conditioner functionalities. They protect low and high voltage electric power systems against short or long power supply interruptions, voltage sags and swells, as well as from losses caused by poor power quality in the system.
Products include:
