Companies of all industries across the US continually look for ways to reduce their financial footprint. However, with good financial governance, also comes the desire for sustainability by reducing an environmental footprint. Venues in the Attractions Industry, Zoos in particular, always look for ways to live and breathe sustainability efforts.
Power Factor Correction (PFC) contributes to sustainability efforts in a couple of key ways:
- Reduced Energy Consumption: Power Factor Correction essentially minimizes energy waste within your electrical system. If you were a park guest, imagine you pay for a whole pizza at a stand but only eat half. Imagine if the park delivered you the whole pizza but were only charged for what was eaten… Not a good business model for the Pizza stand, but a great financial perk for the guest. PFC optimizes your power usage so you only pay for the electricity actually used for real work. This translates to a direct reduction in overall energy consumption.
- Lower Demand on the Overall Power Grid: By using less energy, you lessen the strain on the power grid. This reduced demand has a ripple effect. Utilities can rely less on power plants to meet overall needs. This translates to less energy being generated and fewer emissions being released.
- Efficiency Gains Throughout the System: The benefits of Power Factor Correction extend beyond individual buildings, rides, games, water pumps, etc. If the effort extends outside one venue and across industry lines and implement PFC, the entire electricity grid becomes more efficient. Think of it like traffic lanes on a highway. PFC helps foster smooth traffic flow, reducing congestion (energy demand) and leading to lower emissions across the entire grid.’
In a nutshell, Power Factor Correction promotes sustainability by advocating for smarter energy use, reducing strain on power plants, and fostering a more efficient electricity grid as a whole.
