Power factor strategy playbook: Understanding capacitor banks
AUGUST 14, 24
Power factor is a metric that indicates the efficiency of energy usage within a system. It is based on the ratio of real power to apparent power and shows how effectively energy conversion and usage are taking place.
Maintaining an optimal power factor is crucial for minimizing energy wastage, reducing utility expenses, and ensuring overall system performance. This is especially important for photovoltaic (PV) plants, where the power factor typically ranges between 0.95 lagging and 0.95 leading to ensure efficient grid integration.
Throughout this playbook, you will learn more about capacitor banks and how they benefit PV plants. You will also learn how to improve your power factor thanks to the RatedPower platform.
