<strong>Controlling</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Factor</strong> <strong>and</strong> Harmonics on Energy Efficiency<br />

Introduction<br />

Design engineers <strong>and</strong> facility managers are now required to pay more<br />

attention to saving energy <strong>and</strong> improving <strong>the</strong> availability <strong>of</strong> clean electricity at<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir work sites. This paper is written to assist electrical installation designers<br />

in identifying out-<strong>of</strong>-phase <strong>and</strong> voltage distortion problem areas. In addition,<br />

various harmonics mitigation <strong>and</strong> PFC solutions are discussed. The goal is<br />

to leverage existing <strong>and</strong> new technologies to decrease OPEX <strong>and</strong> to improve<br />

energy efficiency within <strong>the</strong> site’s power infrastructure.<br />
