Power Quality Solution for Pharmaceutical Industry

Ikonmac’s power quality solutions implemented in a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility

Industry Overview

        Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality are national development strategies. The pharmaceutical industry, a key part of the economy, combines traditional and modern sectors. As high-energy consumers, pharmaceutical plants must enhance energy efficiency to meet dual-carbon policies. Since 2013, China’s biopharmaceutical industry has grown rapidly, demanding high standards for power safety, stability, and efficiency. iKonMac’s power quality solutions effectively optimize pharmaceutical power systems, ensuring a green, safe, stable, and efficient energy environment.

Power Quality Issues

        Pharmaceutical enterprises have a large number of pumps and motor loads, many of which are equipped with variable frequency drives (VFDs). The widespread use of VFDs significantly increases harmonic content in the power distribution system. Most VFDs use six-pulse rectifiers to convert AC to DC, generating harmonics primarily of the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th orders. The harmonic current distortion rate is typically over 30%, indicating a high level of harmonic distortion.

Power Quality Challenges

        Pharmaceutical enterprises typically have laboratories and automated production lines with numerous precision instruments. In many cases, these devices are both sources and victims of harmonics. Harmonics can disrupt laboratory equipment, leading to failed experiments, and interfere with intelligent controllers and PLC systems in automated production lines, causing malfunctions. Many national laboratories and pharmaceutical production lines have experienced equipment failures due to harmonic disturbances. Therefore, harmonic issues in pharmaceutical enterprises have serious consequences and require urgent mitigation.

Solution

        The iKonMac's Active Harmonic Filter can mitigate 2nd to 50th-order harmonics. Pharmaceutical plants generate large amounts of harmonics, primarily of the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th orders, which the IKM-AHF effectively eliminates, significantly improving power quality and ensuring safe and stable operation.
