We often focus on the impact of cycling and the degradation of battery cells, but there are other components in a battery that go through daily wear and tear - one factor influencing this is power quality. As the world transitions to a cleaner future that relies on inverter-based technologies - power quality is an important consideration when building an asset.
In this episode, Quentin is joined by Tim Rastall, Chief Technology Officer at Enspec Power. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:
- What “power quality” means - and the sorts of factors that determine good vs. poor power quality.
- Why power quality is increasingly important as we rely more heavily on a variety of inverter-based technologies.
- How poor power quality can physically damage equipment and assets.
- How to measure and combat potential power quality issues in your connection - using passive and active harmonic filters.
- And, of course, where Enspec fits into all of this.
