Active vs Reactive Power Level 100 | Wind Energy Facts

Energy managers who work in manufacturing know the difference between active and reactive power is very important.
Active and reactive power determine how utility companies bill large energy consumers, like One Energy’s Wind for Industry customers.
The differences between these two kinds of power may not seem like a big deal, but for factories that use a lot of energy, studying the details that play into electricity use can hugely impact efficiency and the bottom line.
For today’s Wind Energy Facts, we’re bringing you TWO videos to explain this concept.
In this first video, Head of Construction Chelsea Bumb gives a “100 level” introduction to this concept. She’ll explain the equations for how reactive power and real power relate to each other to determine apparent power, and how they all affect something called the power factor. Stay tuned to watch Chelsea conceptualize these equations with a real-life example.
The best example of all, however? Wind energy! In our second “200 Level” video, learn how these types of power impact conversations One Energy has with companies considering Wind for Industry to directly power their manufacturing facilities.
