Energy Cost Reduction through Load Balancing and Load Shedding

SCR controllers firing in phase angle degrade the power factor while increasing harmonics and electrical noise. A poor power factor drives increased power generation resulting in high energy costs and more CO2 emissions. In this white paper, Mikael Le Guern, Eurotherm Product Marketing Manager – Power Products, explains how predictive load management eliminates these drawbacks, resulting in more effective motor performance through load balancing and load shedding strategies.
