El incumplimiento del Código de Red puede tener graves consecuencias para la operación de tu industria, como sanciones económicas impuestas por la Comisión Reguladora de Energía (CRE), interrupciones en el suministro eléctrico, y daños a los equipos por variaciones de voltaje o distorsión armónica. Esto puede generar un aumento en los costos operativos debido a la ineficiencia energética, afectar la confiabilidad de los procesos industriales y reducir la vida útil de los equipos. Además, el incumplimiento puede dañar la reputación de la empresa, lo que afectaría su relación con clientes y autoridades regulatorias.

To prove that you comply with the Grid Code, you need to present evidence that your industry has implemented the appropriate measures to meet the established parameters, such as power factor, power quality, and harmonic compensation. This can include results from power quality studies, measurement reports, certifications of equipment and electrical systems, as well as a maintenance plan that ensures ongoing compliance. Additionally, you can conduct periodic audits and obtain a compliance report that is evaluated by the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) or an authorized body.

Having a low power factor in your industry’s operation can have several negative consequences, such as increased operational costs due to penalties imposed by the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), which charges additional fees for inefficient energy use. It can also cause overloading of electrical equipment, such as transformers and generators, leading to greater wear and tear, premature failures, and higher maintenance costs. Additionally, a low power factor can reduce the energy efficiency of the installation, affecting productivity and the performance of industrial processes.

Conducting a short-circuit study, protection coordination, and arc flash study in your industry offers several key benefits, such as identifying and mitigating electrical risks, which improves personnel safety and protects equipment. These studies help ensure that protection systems, such as circuit breakers and fuses, operate efficiently and promptly in case of faults, preventing major damage and downtime. Additionally, they optimize energy distribution, reduce the risk of arc flash accidents, and improve operational reliability, resulting in greater efficiency and lower long-term maintenance costs.
