  • THE CATASTROPHIC EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING

    COORDINATED SURGE PROTECTIVE DEVICE INSTALLATION Transient overvoltages , historically among the first disturbances to be recorded by users, have two major causes: lightning and load switching. Depending on local conditions one can be more important than the other, but both need to be duly recognized. Until now most of the users talk about power quality disturbances that cause mostly operation disruption and slow degradation to the critical loads and are related mainly to load switching, but we want now to take this opportunity to show you the most dangerous kind of power disturbances, that causes, mostly, destruction and faster degradation to the critical systems connected to the net electrical utility. This is why this post is titled: The Catastrophic Effects of Lightning. High energy surges or transients in the wiring of any electrical installation produced by external lightning may cause disasters to cars, cement walls, air-crafts, home roofs, roads, big trees, and even on animals and humans, as shown in the picture of this post. Then, can you imagine the severe damage these disturbances would cause to sensitive and critical electronic power loads? Voltage surges are caused by a direct bolt hitting the power system conductors. There are also indirect effects when the lightning bolt strikes an object close to the conductors but not to the conductors themselves. system The three most prevalent types of system failure caused by direct lightning strikes are: Catastrophic failure, usually caused by explosions. Arcing components or destroyed printed circuits. System degradation (mainly from indirect magnetic induction) of the sensitive electronic components and chip sets, continuously weakening until the system fails (normally this damage is not visible). And system disruption, like system lock-ups, data errors, communication errors, and slow system operation faults. In a study of 100 computer system failures attributable to power supply disturbances, weather was cited as the major cause of disruptive sags and outages; voltage sags were found to disrupt computer operations four times as often as outages. Frequently, random transient problems arise from the power source feeding the circuit creating the most concern because it is difficult to define their amplitude, time duration, and energy content. The catastrophic failures from random transients are generally caused by lightning although they also can be caused by switching parallel loads on the distribution system. Fortunately, solutions are available. The most important thing is that complete protection against surges will be achieved only by “combining” or “coordinating” the installation of a proper surge protection device for every part (categories, according to IEEE and IEC standards) of the building. With the advantage of our Integration Coefficient IC , we can provide the most suitable, adapted, and high-benefit/cost ratio solutions for these kinds of destructive events.

  • CRYPTO MINING CONTROVERSY

    SHOULD WE THROW OUT THE SOFA? There was a couple who had a favorite sofa. They loved spending time on it, cuddling, and watching TV. One day, one of them found out that their partner was cheating, causing devastated feelings to arise. After that, the couple tried to figure out how to solve the problem, but every time they sat on the sofa, they were reminded of the betrayal, making the situation worse. Eventually, they decided to remove that sofa, thinking it would help them move on and forget about the past. Of course, they finally split. This situation can be compared to the current controversy surrounding cryptocurrency mining and its high energy consumption. Critics argue that this industry is extremely detrimental to the environment, as it contributes to a high emission of CO2 by using a lot of energy. These critics are asking for an immediate end to mining, much like the couple who decided to get rid of their favorite sofa. However, there is a solution to this problem that doesn't involve “getting rid of the sofa”. The answer lies in our Integration Coefficient IC business model , which can help promote renewable energy sources in mining by using digital communication ecosystems, factory integration, and unified guarantee . Using a hybrid solar system with solar panels and LIFEPO4 batteries , the energy consumption of mining will be significantly reduced as well as the emissions. This solution can be implemented globally and has been proven effective in many mining processes worldwide. For example, a mining company in Australia has recently installed a 12.5 MW solar farm to power their operations, which has resulted in a 20% reduction in energy costs decreasing CO2 emissions. In addition, a Chinese mining company has built a solar-powered farm that generates 3.8 Mega-kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to power 1,000 homes in the same period. These initiatives show that the integration of renewable energy sources into mining operations is not only possible but also beneficial. With the help of the Integration Coefficient IC business model , mining companies can switch to renewable energy sources and reduce their environmental impact . In conclusion, the story of the sofa can teach us a valuable lesson about problem-solving . As the couple got rid of their favorite sofa, the critics of cryptocurrency mining focused on the wrong problem. Instead of calling for an end to mining, everybody should focus on finding solutions that promote renewable energy sources, such as solar . Please Contact Us for more information.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION FROM BIG DATA CENTERS

    HOW TO AVOID IT WITH THE INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC HELP Off-grid hybrid Solar Plant systems for data center installations are now the most searched way to power big energy-consuming companies. According to some estimations, by 2030, data center demand will increase 10 times its current levels, equaling 13 percent of global electricity consumption. In 2021, Google has data centers in 21 states. Facebook has nearly 15 million square feet of data center space completed or under construction, with several million more feet in the planning stages. Uber data centers provide 15 million rides per day in 600 cities in 78 countries, making the company a major user of data center infrastructure. Electricity is the fuel that runs these data centers. Power use at data centers in the United States, for example, has grown at about a 4 percent rate annually since 2010 and was expected to hit 73 billion kilowatt hours in 2020, more than 1.8 percent of the country’s total electricity use, according to the Energy Department’s US Data Center Energy Usage Report. These centers contribute about 2 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Then, how to avoid environmental pollution from big data centers ? Based on the Integration Coefficient IC business model, we are promoting companies that generate huge amounts of electricity, like data centers, to be powered from Solar Off-Grid hybrid renewable energy with maximum benefits/costs ratio. Integrating power quality, power reliability, and energy efficiency management results in a more sustainable power system that not only provides high-quality and reliable power but also minimizes waste and emissions of CO2. Most scientists agree that if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate, the atmosphere will warm up 2.7 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2040. The disadvantages of non-renewable resources are that they release many pollutants, greenhouse gases, and other harmful by-products when they are used. The mining of fossil fuels can cause irreparable damage to the environment. These pollutant resources will eventually run out, and cannot be obtained again in a human time frame. When using nuclear power plants as power sources they may release toxic waste, which can sometimes be disposed of inappropriately also causing pollution. The consequences of a nuclear reactor meltdown can be very devastating to the surrounding environment. The benefit of renewable energy sources is that they do not release harmful emissions that contribute to global warming, offering opportunities for new jobs, and there is an endless supply. Solar is a perfect example of a source that will never end. Why solar Off-Grid hybrid system is so popular and now being considered as the first power source option for Data Centers? Simple answer: Solar energy generation pricing is the cheapest you can get in many places worldwide by improving technology and life span, as well as increasing levels of productivity together to increase the efficiency of the supply chain.

  • SUSTAINABILITY AND POWER QUALITY SUMMIT

    SIMPLE EVENTS GENERATING GREAT IDEAS AND POSSIBLE COMMITMENTS On the evening of August 31st, 2023, two leaders in their respective industries met again after a decade without seeing each other. Their stories go back to when the International Power Association (IPA) was born in San Diego, California, more than 30 years ago. At that time, Miguel Aldrete, assistant engineer to the founder of the Association, and Jaime Ventura, owner of a company that worked on power quality projects in South America, forged a friendship and a professional connection that would mark their lives. The two had just had a casual dinner that became an unexpectedly productive Technological, Marketing, Sustainability, and Power Quality summit. Miguel, who today leads the International Power Association as its president and new owner, has risen with great success in the world of power quality and reliability , representing prestigious international brands in these areas and is the author of "The 3 C's", a book to solve electrical and power quality problems , especially in Latin America, with a focus on the Mexican market. On the other hand, Jaime, who has also gained international recognition as an expert in power quality, has turned his career towards energy-saving solutions ( Solar and LED lighting ) achieved through an innovative business system , fully developed under its guide , the new Integration Coefficient IC . His approach is focused on solving electrical problems while embracing the cause of environmental sustainability , combating CO2 emissions that threaten our planet. What started as a friendly dinner turned into a brainstorming session. The conversation expanded even further, foreseeing the incorporation of pre-defined solutions, and taking advantage of the IC. This versatile approach could include Asian and American products, diversifying the offer and ensuring more sustainable projects with a higher benefit-cost ratio. A dinner that started as a chance meeting turned into a 3-hour summit. Friendship, experience, and a passion for lasting projects took over the evening. When the restaurant eventually closed, the two pledged to join forces to begin possible evaluations of some products, such as power conditioners and batteries from Asia, as a first step, since, according to Miguel, in the current annual plans of the IPA, solar energy and energy efficiency are still under review as they are now concentrated on their main market niche of power quality. The photo that captures that summit shows two men in their middle years but with the excitement and joy of young adventurers. This event reminds us that friendship, experience, and collaboration between leaders can weave a web beyond business success toward a brighter sustainable world. Be Part of the Revolution.

  • NATIONAL PET DAY

    SCIENCE AND NATURE FUSION WITH INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC The National Pet Day is celebrated every year on April 11th. We consider it critical to dedicate some lines to this important day founded by Colleen Paige in 2006. Ms. Paige is a Pet Lifestyle expert and an advocate for animal welfare and started this holiday in the U.S., but today it is celebrated across the globe. Giving quality life and love to nature is not separated from science and technology. They have been in a kind of natural integration process that is growing in an accelerated way worldwide. A long time ago humans (or at least some of them) discovered science. Or depending on your point of view, they created it. They did it, for the first time, separating culture from nature. Before this, we generally personified the world around us and thought of ourselves as having a relationship with it. But by thinking scientifically, we took out human stories and perspectives and understood nature by its empirical characteristics. In doing so, our relationship with the natural world changed. Instead of fearing and respecting nature, we sought to master it. In many ways, we have succeeded, and those who have mastered it first have historically been able to use that mastery to great advantage over others. We now live in a world almost entirely controlled by those who focus on mastery over nature or being said better, they are taking advantage of technology to improve our relationship with nature. This is our modern world of science and technology. Our Integration Coefficient IC is a great example of this mastering process when integrating science and nature. Examples are our Solar On-Grid Energy Kits . How is that so? Pets are becoming an important part of many of our lives and when celebrating National Pet Day gives you the unique opportunity to show undivided attention to your pets and also encourage others to adopt them. The National Institute of Health (NIH) has evaluated the physical and emotional benefits pets offer for the past ten years. Pets can not only steal our hearts, but also help us maintain good cardiovascular health by decreasing cortisol, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Then that commented "fusion" arises when you watch puppies happily swimming in a heated pool in a home built with solar kits saving electricity costs with solar via net metering or having power backup with LIFEPO4 battery banks when using free natural sun energy. Don’t you see this integration as amazing? What a beautiful example of nature and technology "fusion". Your comments are welcome. Please Contact Us for more information.

  • STILL SALTING FOOD BEFORE EATING IT

    CHANGING PARADIGMS WITH THE INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC Henry Ford, an iconic figure in the automobile industry, had a unique approach to recruiting team members. Before doing so, he used to share a lunch with the candidates. During lunch, his attention was not on the menu. He was focused on the salt shaker. If the candidate seasoned the food before eating it, Ford would not hire him. What was the reason behind this curious test? This fact indicated, and also with a high probability of certainty, an inclination of the applicant to execute a plan before testing it. There are many examples of “ salting food before eating it ” that have already been reviewed in our previous publications such as the Trolley dilemma , the Midas Touch , the McNamara Fallacy , the Galileo Story , the Mandela Effect , the Myth of Sisyphus , the Ockham's Razor , the Success Syndrome , the Do Something Syndrome , the Concorde Fallacy , the Hammer Bias , the Cobra Effect and the “Piñata” Effect , among others. This Ford anecdote and previous reviews highlight a fundamental truth: the importance of testing before implementing . In today's era, where information and data flow at our fingertips, we can harness the power of experimentation and continuous adaptation. In the business world, there is a concept called "The Control," which refers to proven and almost always winning strategies that are constantly reused. However, this is where the Integration Coefficient IC comes into play, breaking “the Control" cycle. The IC is more than a formula; it is a comprehensive approach towards innovation and sustainability.

  • SUCCESS SYNDROME

    COVID 19 AND INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC When Ugur Sahin, founder of BioNTech, creators of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to prevent COVID-19, was asked why he decided to create a separate company instead of working directly for Pfizer, his answer was revealing: "They had tried, but after more than two years together, they had visualized how senior management chose to stop all their initiatives." Research on the business success of internationally “iconic” companies has found that, perhaps too often, a period of success can erode innovation even in the most rational companies. Consequently, companies prefer not to waste time and effort, and it is also highlighted when the problem is aggravated in the case of disruptive innovations since they completely change their policies and usually require a high involvement of all parties. This comes in handy to address a crucial issue that has arisen about the doubts and excuses around the Integration Coefficient IC . We want to share the real essence of this innovative concept and how it is similar to the case of BioNTech. The inefficiency of the current supply chain is an unmistakable sign of the success syndrome that renewable energy companies suffer today by remaining tied to a business model that has led many companies to failure . The IC is based on a collaborative economy model that drives the joint growth of all those involved in the supply chain, making it efficient and creating value . We are focused on creating a global network of local agents who adopt our business model. In other words, how can you ask Airbnb for a list of satisfied customers if its success is based on the natural growth of this new form of economy? Our strategically satisfied allies are installers, builders, designers, and other energy experts who understand the importance of sustainability and want to provide innovative, personalized solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client . Each solution is designed to deliver significant savings, premium quality, a unified warranty , and an unmatched customer experience . Our philosophy is to bring ecological solutions to every corner of the world. We want our impact to be global and help our cooperators to be considered local sustainability promoters. That is why we focus on the transformative power of the Integration Coefficient IC . We want our local agents to share that passion and commitment and together create a sustainable movement that drives positive change in the supply chain and the world. The Integration Coefficient IC is more than a simple solution ; it is a change of mentality, a way of doing business responsibly and sustainably. Then, a way to avoid the success syndrome. Subscribing will bring us great joy. Together, we can achieve great things in the world of energy through efficient supply chain management.

  • ON GRID SOLAR SYSTEMS

    INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC EDUCATING THE SUPPLY CHAIN Let's use our Integration Coefficient IC with one of its strongest points that gives us a profound differential advantage in the supply chain : education for maximum customer satisfaction . On-grid or Grid-tied solar systems are intended to operate parallel with an electric utility company. What does solar energy connected to the grid, On-grid, or Auto consumption mean? Simply put, the electricity from the solar energy system is connected to the existing service panel of the building, home, or business, supplementing the power supplied by your utility company. While grid-tied solar systems use advanced technology, the principle behind how they work is simple. During the day, solar panels convert solar energy into DC (direct current) power, which then flows to a grid-connected inverter or micro-inverter, where this DC energy is converted into AC (alternating current) used by the connected load on the site. From there, electricity flows to a circuit breaker in your site's electrical service panel (please check the diagram for a typical On-grid Grid system shown in this post), from where it flows to the load just as it does from your utility company. If the site needs more electricity than the amount generated by the On-grid-solar system, additional electricity is drawn from the grid or "utility." On the other hand, the excess electricity generated returns to the grid and turns the electric meter "backward," of course, only if the electric utility company allows what we will later explain as Net-Metering agreements. Using technical words: Grid-tied inverters take DC power and invert it into AC power that can be “returned” to the electric utility company's grid. The On-grid inverter must synchronize its frequency with that of the grid (50 or 60 cycles per second) using a local oscillator and limit the voltage to no more than the grid voltage. A modern, high-quality grid-tied inverter has a fixed unity power factor input, which means that output voltage and current are perfectly aligned and its phase angle is within 1 degree of the AC grid. The inverter has a control system that will detect the current AC grid waveform and generate a voltage matching the grid. On-grid inverters are also designed to quickly disconnect from the grid if it is cut off or presents values outside the normal working operation range. This is an NEC (in the USA) or an IEC (in Eurasia) requirement that ensures that, in the cases mentioned, the On-grid inverter will be turned off to prevent the energy it transfers from harming line workers who are sent to repair the power grid or to protect itself due to the appearance of dangerous voltages at its output. Useful information about our On-grid solar kit solutions for American and Eurasian markets is available on our website. Please subscribe .
