KVAR
Sanrgy’s partner KVAR manufactures over 700 unique energy controllers, as well as off the shelf KVAR controllers. The ability to customize KVAR Energy Controllers results in the best possible level of savings for individual motor loads and panels allowing guaranteed savings ranging from 6-25%.
Power factor is an indicator of how much of a power system’s capacity is available for productive work. Read as a percentage, the closer a system or motor’s power factor is to 1.0 or 100%, the more efficient the system is. Having a low power factor is undesirable because it increases a load on a building’s electrical system, and puts excess strain on the utility company providing the power.
To encourage customers to reduce their use of reactive power, or to optimize power factor, many utility companies have introduced reactive power charges, also known as power factor penalties. In most cases, medium to large size commercial customers are billed extra for having a low power factor such as when their power factor, or efficiency level, is less than 95 percent.
A facility subject to power factor penalties, with a significant number of induction motors typically has different options. Sometimes, the problem is solved by purchasing new, properly-sized, premium efficiency motors. Other cases might require variable frequency drive (VFD) induction motors, rotary condensors, or other dynamic volt ampere reactive (VAR) devices.
KVAR Energy Savings takes pride in being able to provide the most cost effective, proven solutions possible, which is properly sized, in real time, at the customer’s loads and or panels for the exact amount of capacitance required to optimize the power factor of such loads, to unity, or 100% efficiency. KVAR’s proven approach to energy efficiency can eliminate penalties, while providing additional savings and other benefits to the customer’s infrastructure, along with the best pay back period in the industry, typically around 36 months or less. In fact, most of KVAR’s customers realize savings ranging from 6-25% of their cost to operate individual pumps and motors regardless of whether or not they face reactive power penalties.
Whether you are in the food and beverage, pulp and paper, automotive, metals and mining, refinery, chemical, waste water management or other industry sectors that use inductive motors, you will realize power bill savings ranging from 6% to 25%. In some cases, you may get even higher levels of savings.
We know because we have customers that have totally eliminated their demand charges, thereby significantly improving their bottom line.
KVAR is the only corporation that owns the patent on the sizing apparatus and procedure required to effectively optimize Power Factor (PF) to unity (1.0 PF). We optimize motors of all sizes with up to 600 volts service.
