Momentary power interruptions are a fact of life for most businesses. The impacts of these disruptions can range from momentary annoyances to very costly for facilities with sensitive operations such as manufacturing, food processing or data centers. Adding a back-up generator won’t help deal with this type of problem as they take time to power up (> 10 seconds) which makes them almost useless to deal with momentary interruptions. Your best option is a large-scale battery system which is very cost effective when also used to manage demand charges. Batteries also have inherent abilities to manage other power quality issues including:
- Power Factor Correction
- Frequency problems
- Voltage drops or sags
