In these hard in the social, political and business we cannot forget that we must "adjust" also our entire way of life, our way of thinking and our way of debate about the energetic.
Undoubtedly, the new ways of power generation have entered the sector strongly, becoming an important part of our generation, perhaps with a very high economic cost, but with an important future performance in respecting the environment and sustainability of the planet. Our future generations will appreciate this common policy. But it is true that we cannot call this sector Energy Efficiency.
When we talk about alternative energies, they are just that. The concept "Energy Efficiency" should be used very conveniently and considered.
It is as important generating clean energy as to properly use the available energy.
In my opinion, two factors are essential for energy efficiency:
- Awareness of "no use" as the best way of energy saving and efficiency.
- Use of the available energy with improved conditions in the facilities, improvement of the average power factor in the country and reduction of harmonics level in the facilities.
About first item, our World and European Champions are who through a campaign of IDEA, remind of consumers that the best saving is the non-consumption. These campaigns take effect in the medium and long term and I hope that young people gets the message from their stars.
On the second item, we are the market players who have a lot to do. The central and regional governments, electricity companies and consumers themselves should consider investments in order to upgrade facilities, and thereby obtain saving of over 25% of the losses caused by different factors.
Installation of Automatic Capacitor Banks has been for the latest 30 years in our country a good method for Energy Efficiency, and it should remain, as it is a product with a huge future.
Therefore, we must actively contribute so that the power factor of facilities continue to improve; our company operates in 25 countries, and we are working with governments around the world in order to implement energy saving projects, we have always been characterized for contributing with relevant aspects to market power factor correction such as management of an integrated product and service as well as a constant work of R&D+i.
For our company, the care and protection of the environment have always been one of our key principles. So that we help companies to reduce significant amounts of CO2 and also increase the saving. Aener Energia provides customers with knowledge and tools to optimal the management of their energy resources. This efficient use is based in less energy requirement and, therefore, in a more rational use of natural resources of the planet.
Perhaps a new "Management Plan Demand", like it was introduced in our country in the 90s, would lead our electrical system to a new impulse in terms of better use of current resources.
If we invest in maintaining and improving everything we have, we will achieve great things.
Some pieces of advices from Aener Energia about reactive energy
- It is necessary to compensate the reactive power, as a variation of this one makes equipments such as generators and/or transformers that supply to the facility, work at a greater rate than necessary. Also, the harder penalties from the government make this compensation involves direct saving in electric bills.
- Motors and transformers are the biggest consumers of reactive power. It is due to equipments with windings are used reactive power to maintain the magnetic fields they need to perform their jobs.
- Capacitors compensate reactive power. In big motors and transformers are installed parallel capacitors, connected jointly, so that when they work, they do so with the support of the capacitor.
There is not sometimes a concrete loading which causes the problem, but it is the sum of all (there is not to compensate load by load due to the high cost of the installation).
