Typical Case:
Hithium Energy Storage Technology
Project Background: Hithium Energy Storage Technology is a key industrial project in Fujian Province and a national high-tech enterprise, specializing in the R&D and manufacturing of lithium iron phosphate energy storage batteries and systems.
Challenges: The production process involves extensive use of variable frequency drive (VFD) equipment, resulting in severe harmonic distortion. The THDi reached 20%-30%, causing issues such as abnormal transformer noise, temperature rise, protection relay malfunctions, and inaccurate metering.
INPOWER implemented an SVG + APF hybrid solution (APF capacity: 12,350A; SVG capacity: 12,100kvar).
After mitigation, harmonic distortion indicators fully complied with relevant standards, significantly improving equipment operating stability:
