Power Quality Improvement Services for Reliable & Efficient Operations

Are Power Quality Issues Hurting Your Business?

Power quality improvement is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for any business relying on sensitive equipment and automated systems. At Smart Energy Solutions NI, we specialise in diagnosing and resolving power quality issues that silently impact your productivity and profitability.

Whether it’s unexplained shutdowns, overheating equipment, or inconsistent voltage supply, poor power quality leads to hidden energy waste and serious operational risks. Our expert consultants offer real-time monitoring, power quality analysis, and tailored solutions to help you regain control and protect your assets.

What Is Power Quality and Why Does It Matter?

Power quality refers to the stability, purity, and consistency of the voltage supplied to your facility’s electrical equipment.

When that voltage is unstable or distorted, sensitive systems suffer.

What Are the Signs of Poor Power Quality?

Frequent equipment resets or failure
Data corruption and unexplained software crashes
Flickering lights or unexpected shutdowns
Overheating transformers or motors
Inefficient energy use or unexplained energy waste

What Causes Power Quality Problems?

Power quality issues come in many forms — and each one affects your systems differently. Some of the most common include:

Voltage dips or swells – Often caused by large load switching or faults on the supply network.
Voltage transients – High-frequency spikes, frequently from switching surges or lightning strikes.
Voltage imbalance – Unequal voltages on a three-phase system, leading to motor inefficiencies.
Harmonics – Distorted waveforms that overload equipment and reduce lifespan.
Power factor problems – Inefficient power usage that increases costs.
Inrush currents – Sudden spikes in current that can trip breakers or damage sensitive systems.

Common Questions About Power Quality Improvement

What is power quality monitoring?

It’s the process of continuously measuring electrical parameters (voltage, current, frequency, harmonics) to assess the stability and reliability of your supply.

How do I know if I have a power quality problem?

If you’ve had unexplained system faults, flickering lights, or frequent resets, you likely have an undiagnosed power quality issue.

How is power quality measured?

Using advanced portable data loggers, we collect real-time data on energy disturbances and waveform deviations, then analyse it against industry standards.

How can I improve power quality in my facility?

Start with a professional power quality analysis. From there, we recommend solutions such as filters, surge protection, and voltage conditioning tailored to your load profile.

Creative Composites

£47,628 Saved & Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Creative Composites, a leader in composite material production, faced rising energy costs due to inefficient machinery. With one press machine consuming 25% more energy while delivering lower output, they needed a real-time monitoring solution to identify inefficiencies and drive savings.
