Electronic compensation refers to the methods and technologies used to stabilize and improve the quality of electrical power supplied to sensitive equipment. It is important because it helps prevent damage to equipment, improve energy efficiency, and ensure operational continuity in critical environments.

An ASVG (Static Var Generator) is a device used to compensate reactive power in electrical systems. It works by injecting or absorbing reactive power into the system, stabilizing the voltage and improving the power factor.

An AHF (Active Harmonic Filter) is used to filter harmonics in electrical systems. These harmonics are unwanted currents or voltages that can cause distortion and damage to equipment. The AHF detects and eliminates these harmonics, improving power quality.

An AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) is a device that regulates and stabilises the output voltage of an electrical system. This ensures that equipment receives a constant voltage, protecting it against variations or fluctuations that could cause failure or damage.

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) provides backup power in the event of a power failure. It is essential in critical systems because it ensures operational continuity during power outages, preventing data loss and protecting sensitive equipment.

ASVG is mainly used when the goal is to improve the power factor and stabilize the voltage through reactive compensation. In contrast, AHF focuses on eliminating harmonics, and AVR regulates the voltage. The choice depends on the nature of the problem to be solved in the electrical system.

Yes, it is common to combine these devices in a system to obtain complete electronic compensation. For example, an ASVG can work together with an AHF to improve the power factor and eliminate harmonics, while an AVR stabilizes the voltage and a UPS provides backup in case of faults.

The choice of the appropriate equipment depends on several factors, such as the type of load, the sensitivity of the connected equipment, and the conditions of the electrical network. It is advisable to carry out a detailed analysis of the installation’s needs and, if necessary, consult with a power quality specialist.

Devices such as ASVG, AHF, AVR, and UPS require periodic maintenance to ensure optimal operation. This includes regular inspection, cleaning, and testing of key components. Proper preventative maintenance can extend the life of the equipment and improve its efficiency.
