What do Static Var Generators do? This article explains how clever they are.

It's very important to ensure your power quality and renewable energy solutions are customised to your business requirements. Find out why in this important blog.

Do you know exactly what you’re being charged for with each item on your electricity bill? Some businesses could have a kVA charge due to poor power factor, which can be easily addressed to reduce the bill.

Amid the rising costs of doing business, it is essential for Australian businesses to optimise every aspect of operations to make the most of every dollar. Power quality, often overlooked, is a hidden factor that significantly impacts both productivity and costs. Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are a solution that not only enhances power quality but also offers tangible economic benefits. This article explores the return on investments (ROI) when implementing AHFs, highlighting the financial gains Australian businesses can achieve over time by prioritising power quality improvement.

Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are one of the most effective solutions for enhancing power quality and optimising energy consumption. However, the journey to reap the full benefits of AHFs doesn't stop after design. Proper installation, regular upkeep, and meticulous maintenance all play a pivotal role in ensuring these devices' longevity and sustained performance. In this article, we share a comprehensive guide to installing, maintaining, and caring for AHFs, enabling Australian businesses to maximise their investment and enjoy uninterrupted power quality improvements.

In Australia, the AS/NZS61000.3.3 standard governs the acceptable level of harmonic voltage distortion and aligns with the IEEE519 guidelines. If your power supplier or distributor is dissatisfied with the amount of voltage distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC), they may require harmonic filtering to comply with Australian standards. Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) have emerged as a solution that not only enhances power quality but also helps industries adhere to regulatory requirements in Australia. This article dives into the regulatory landscape surrounding power quality in the country and explores how AHFs serve as an indispensable tool for businesses aiming to ensure compliance, sidestep penalties, and reduce energy costs.

As businesses strive to optimise their operations and reduce costs, power quality emerges as a critical factor in the demand for reliable and efficient energy supply. Active Harmonic Filters, or AHFs, not only enhances power quality but also offer a pathway to substantial energy efficiency and cost savings. In this article, we explore how Active Harmonic Filters can revolutionise energy consumption by improving your power quality and contributing to a more energy-efficient future.

Power Factor Correction (PFC) is critical in maintaining the efficiency and reliability of electrical systems on oil rigs. With the increasing demand for energy and the need for efficient operations, oil rig operators need to understand the importance of PFC and how it can benefit their operations.

Small and medium-sized businesses across the country will benefit from a $62 million grant program to help them be more energy efficient, ease the pressure on energy bills and reduce emissions. The Federal Government published guidelines for the Energy Efficiency Grants for SMEs, with a $16 million investment announced in Round 1 to support SMEs in saving on their energy bills. This article outlines the grant details, eligibility criteria overview, why include Power Factor Correction in your grant application and how we can help.
