Case Study

Network Code Compliance Solution for MINERA FRISCO

Problem

Previously, the Load Center did not comply with the power factor requirement indicated in the Grid Code. 

Therefore, an equipment was implemented, which could adapt to the reactive power demand by reading two feeders at different voltages and perform a dynamic compensation to ensure compliance at the PCC (114 kV).
