tAG Webinar: Theme Park Energy Savings: Power Factor Correction (PFC) Unlocked!

Join Alex & Isabelle from the Attractions Group and the Energy Efficiency Group (both based in Cincinnati!) for this "high-voltage" webinar on a critical, often overlooked, strategy for massive energy savings at theme parks, zoos, waterparks, and large attractions.

These venues are powerhouses of energy consumption, running thousands of horsepower of inductive loads, including:

  • Rides and Attractions: Motors for roller coasters, carousels, and dark ride animatronics.

  • HVAC Systems: Air conditioning for indoor exhibits, restaurants, and offices.

  • Pumps: Massive pumps for water rides, pools, and fountains.

    This heavy reliance on electric motors often leads to a poor power factor (PF), meaning the park is drawing more current than is efficiently being used to do the actual work. This translates directly to higher utility bills and potential penalties.

    In this episode, Alex and Isabelle will break down the practical application of Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology, showing you how to:

    • Reduce Utility Penalties: Eliminate or significantly lower fees from your electric utility for low power factor.

    • Increase System Capacity: Free up electrical capacity within your existing infrastructure, allowing you to add new attractions without costly upgrades.

    • Lower Overall Energy Consumption: Decrease the total power demanded from the grid, leading to substantial kWh savings.

    • Improve Equipment Lifespan: Reduce electrical stress on transformers, motors, and cables.

      Learn why PFC is the essential, non-disruptive, behind-the-scenes strategy your operations team needs to deploy right now to achieve significant energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
