The efficiency of the power grid is a key element in containing costs and ensuring the proper operation of industrial plants.
The company set the goal of eliminating the penalties imposed by the distributor and reducing the transmission losses associated with the withdrawal of reactive power from the grid. To achieve this, it was decided to install a power factor correction system, so as to optimize reactive power management and improve the overall efficiency of the power system.
The intervention included the installation of a distributed power factor correction system by connecting capacitor banks directly to the loads.
The technical advantages of the adopted solution include:
1
Reduction of reactive power drawn from the grid
The capacitor system compensates locally for the reactive energy needed by the plants, decreasing the withdrawal from the power grid.
2
Decreased currents in the distribution system.
With less reactive power demand, currents circulating in cables are reduced, lowering transport losses.
3
Improvement of tension stability
Reducing voltage drops ensures more efficient operation of grid-connected equipment.
The total investment for the intervention was €9,000, a low cost compared to the benefits obtained in terms of efficiency and cost savings.
The installation of the power factor correction system has brought immediate and measurable benefits:
Total elimination of penalties
The company no longer has to bear the costs imposed by the distributor for reactive power withdrawal.
Savings of about 3% per year on electricity consumption
Optimization of the internal network allows less energy to be wasted.
Elimination of additional costs associated with penalties
Lower fixed expenses in the electricity bill.
Improved efficiency of the internal power grid
Reduction of transport losses and voltage drops.
Quick investment to amortize
With a limited initial cost, the payback is immediate due to the elimination of penalties and energy savings.
Improved plant reliability
Reducing voltage fluctuations increases the operational stability of machinery.
The implementation of a distributed rephasing system proved to be an effective solution to eliminate distributor-imposed penalties, improve reactive power management, and optimize the performance of the power grid. With a low investment and an immediate economic benefit, the intervention resulted in tangible savings and increased energy efficiency in the long term.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
