You can’t fix what you can’t see

Power quality control starts with measurement precision. While traditional RMS methods merely sample and average electrical peaks, real power quality issues occur at the speed of light. This fundamental measurement gap leaves conventional systems blind to up to 65% of power quality events – making true optimization impossible with traditional approaches.

Digital Modeling: Where Measurement Becomes Intelligence

The power of SDE lies in transforming precise measurements into actionable intelligence. Creating a living mathematical model of the connected electrical network, enabling SDE to understand not just what’s happening, but why. This electrical twin maps complex interactions across the entire power spectrum in real-time, revealing the root causes of power quality issues rather than just their symptoms.

 Perfect Power Through Digital Control

SDE represents a fundamental shift in power quality control – from analog approximation to digital precision. Using automotive qualified silicon carbide semiconductors, enables real-time correction with digital precision with continuous optimization at 98% efficiency – with no overcompensation, no maintenance, and no component degradation. The result is perfect power quality that addresses root causes rather than symptoms, maintaining itself without adjustment or replacement.

How Does Software-Defined Electricity (SDE) Work?

The revolutionary approach of Software-Defined Electricity (SDE) in achieving clean electricity is based on a combination of innovative technologies and intelligent systems. At its core, SDE leverages the capabilities of an expert system powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and operates in real-time to ensure dynamic response to changing conditions.

Power Quality Rating (PQR)

The Power Quality Rating (PQR), introduced by 3DFS, is a metric that quantifies the efficiency of electrical energy flow in power networks on a scale of 0-100%. It encompasses crucial power quality factors that contribute to overall system performance. Below are the factors included in the PQR rating and an overview of how they are addressed by SDE:

Power Factor (PF)

Comprehensive power factor (PF) correction for both capacitive and inductive loads, enabling a full range of +/- 90 degrees correction to achieve unity power factor.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

By utilizing dynamic solid-state technology, SDE effectively corrects (THD) in voltage and current, addressing both harmonic and supraharmonic frequencies. This advanced approach not only expands the range of performance but also offers the benefits of being weightless and producing minimal heat.

Phase Load Balance

In electrical networks, loads experience variations in on/off states and amplitudes across different phases. Imbalances in load distribution can result in neutral current. However, SDE effectively resolves this issue by automatically balancing phases in real time, enabling balanced electricity utilization without the presence of harmful neutral current.

Impedance Matching

Impedance matching is of utmost importance in electrical systems as it facilitates the efficient transfer of power between various components. By achieving impedance matching, the system can transfer the maximum amount of power from the source to the load, resulting in reduced power losses and optimized overall performance. This becomes particularly valuable in systems involving generators, backup power, and microgrids where effective power transfer and interconnection are crucial for reliable efficient operation.

SDE Methodology

3DFS adopts the SDE methodology for electricity correction, encompassing three (3) key principles: holistic correction, high efficiency, and in real-time – doing it Digitally at Full Scale (DFS). Implementing SDE for electricity correction guarantees a comprehensive approach that optimizes the efficiency of electricity flow.

The Whole System, Not Symptoms

SDE takes a holistic approach by simultaneously addressing all the components of the Power Quality Rating (PQR). This approach recognizes the interconnectedness of each rating and the potential impact on other ratings. Unlike the conventional “fix what’s broken” approach, which can lead to deficiencies in other areas, SDE ensures the comprehensive improvement of the entire system. By optimizing power quality across the network, SDE enhances efficiency, reliability, and performance to their maximum potential. This eliminates the need for fragmented solutions and offers a comprehensive approach to improving power quality.

Round Trip Efficiency

SDE revolutionizes power quality correction by replacing traditional, bulky, maintenance-intensive systems with highly efficient solid-state technology. Unlike their power-hungry counterparts, SDE’s compact and durable devices operate at an astonishing round-trip efficiency of over 96% and do not require dedicated air conditioning.

Dynamic And Real-Time

Traditional methods of measuring and working with electricity rely on averages and are ill-suited for the lightning-fast nature of electricity. These methods often rely on compensating trends using bulky, slow-acting analog capacitors or transformers, which can result in overcompensation or undercompensation. In contrast, SDE measures electricity at nanosecond speeds with exceptional accuracy, allowing it to dynamically and in real-time correct electricity based on the precise requirements of the electrical network. By adapting instantaneously to the actual needs of the system, SDE ensures optimal performance and reliability without the wasteful overcompensation or undercompensation
