CHARACTERISTICS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN FOOD & BEVERAGE (F&B) FACTORIES

Refrigeration systems, HVAC, compressed air systems, and production lines consume large amounts of energy and operate for long periods
Many motors and inverters are used for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and processing equipment
Increasing requirements for energy efficiency and sustainable development in line with ISO 50001 and Net Zero targets

=> Therefore, power quality and energy efficiency become important factors for stable and continuous factory operation, as well as long-term operational risk management

Factors that make F&B electrical systems difficult to control

VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFDs) IN PRODUCTION LINES

Generate harmonics and affect the entire system

REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS, HVAC, AND CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING LOADS

Require high stability

INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY AND BESS

Increase complexity in the operation and management of the electrical system

SYSTEM CHANGES ACROSS DIFFERENT PHASES

New equipment and loads may affect the existing electrical system

Electrical issues that often go unnoticed

Power losses caused by harmonics and low power factor

Difficult to meet requirements for energy efficiency, ISO 50001, and Net Zero

System performance decreases without a clear cause

Equipment operates unstably over time

Energy consumption per unit of product increases over time

System-level approach, not just equipment-level

Evaluate the electrical system and operating data

Identify the root cause of the problem

Design and implement the appropriate solution
