b'Gone is the bank of capacitators. Gone too are the old on-off disconnects, which spiked energy demand each time the 20 horsepower motors had to jump from zero to 100 per cent from one moment to the next. In their place are VFDs with soft starts, which ramp motors up rather than peaking demand and use power more cleanly too. The VFDs also allow operators significantly more control over the units themselves, allowing one to slow down and speed up operations as required. This is as efficient as we can get to today. Maybe tomorrow there might be a new technology out, but as of today by using VFDs on the motors were as efficient as we can be, Andrews says about the results theyre seeing.He hopes energy usage improvements at the Three Hill Plant will convince others in the agriculture industry to follow suit. Once were all done and we put a meter on it for a week so we can look at all the numbers, well take that back to the (Alberta Seed Processors) to hopefully show the difference and get more people to look more seriously at what they might do at their plants.
