Projects and Case Studies

Wayne are South Africa’s leading injection moulded PVC and PU gumboot manufacturer. Impact Power Innovations were contracted by Wayne’s Plastics to investigate opportunities to enhance the quality of power within their world class facilities.

The number of Wind Turbine and Photo Voltaic manufacturers for energy producing farms worldwide is increasing. There is a growing need for continuous PQ monitoring at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC).

Israel’s National Water supply company, Mekorot commissioned Elspec to propose an alternative motor startup solution for one of their planned installations. The first challenge was to overcome the high levels of reactive power (kVAr) demand during the start of the large motors, which has a severe impact on the stability of the voltage supply.

The Panama Canal had problems due to a weak grid over 90 years old. The locomotives that pull the ships through the canal had extremely heavy and fast changing loads caused by the many starts and stops, thus creating power quality and voltage stability issues.
