PQ-Line
PQ-Line
In an increasingly evolving electrical context, electronic technology brings efficiency and control but also new invisible challenges for the electrical grid, including:
Reactive Power, current imbalance and harmonics.
In most modern electrical systems, distorted and capacitive loads are now prevalent, where both inductive (motors, transformers, inductors) and capacitive (LEDs, photovoltaics, inverters, power supplies) reactive energy is generated, which cannot be compensated by traditional power factor correction.

PQ-VAR
The PQ-VAR system is a closed-loop reactive power generator based on SVG (Static Var Generator) technology and represents a next-generation solution for the control and reduction of reactive power in an electrical installation.
PQ-PRO
Energia Europa’s PQ-PRO system is based on ASVG (Advanced Static Var Generator) technology and is designed as a tool capable of generating and compensating reactive power (both capacitive and inductive), balancing currents, and compensating current harmonics generated by distorting loads.
PQ-MAX
The PQ-MAX system is very similar to the PQ-PRO version, with two substantial differences: harmonic mitigation covers the entire harmonic contribution (up to the 50th order), and the priority of operating modes is reversed compared to the PRO version.
Benefits PQ-LINE
-
Dynamic Power Factor Correction
All devices are capable of quickly compensating for reactive power variations (<20 ms), adapting in real time to load conditions.
-
Current Balancing
Through active balancing, the devices reduce line current imbalances, improving the balance of the three-phase system and reducing resistive losses.
-
Harmonic Mitigation
The PQ-PRO model is able to mitigate current harmonic contribution up to the 13th harmonic, while the PQ-MAX model mitigates the entire harmonic contribution up to the 50th.
-
Energy Efficiency
All devices contribute to the reduction of overall system losses, both in distribution lines and in passive components, such as transformers and capacitors.
-
Compatibility with Disturbances
The devices can manage small transient disturbances and oscillations, thanks to the presence of active components and energy storage systems that mitigate the effects of perturbations.
