Thanks to a Seven States Power partnership with RK Energy, our members with a large base of commercial and industrial clients (C&I) can now offer a new tool to help C&I customers protect against the risk of power interruptions. Companies that depend on intelligent technologies, like variable speed drives, are especially vulnerable to the risks of even a blink in their power supply. By one estimate, industrial and digital businesses lose up to $45.7 billion per year due to power interruptions.

RK Energy’s Ride-through-System (RTS) protects industrial customers, giving them the ability to successfully maintain normal operation of VSDs during short or prolonged power disturbances. This ability to maintain consistent power can help customers reduce costly scrap and downtime caused by multiple power fluctuations throughout the year.

RK Energy’s electric “Regenergy” system may also help industries reach sustainability goals. By recycling this otherwise wasted energy, traditionally burned off as waste heat on dynamic braking resistors, power consumption and peak motor loads are reduced. By lowering power consumption and the peak motor loads, industrial customers may come closer to achieving long-term carbon neutrality initiatives and help reduce total load for local power companies.
