The prices of commodities and necessities are always only hiking and the truth goes for power, too. Majority of the country is under the grid of one power distributor and they have the biggest say on how much power should cost; alternatively, we can affect that by having our own alternative power sources like solar, hydro, and turbine. For these set up, will automatic voltage regulator suppliers in the Philippines find a good market for people seeking to setup these greener means of powering homes or businesses?
Solar
Power systems are still machinery and therefore need power themselves to function; a solar powered energy grid might have very little fluctuations when it comes to gathering power in terms of power spikes but that does not mean that the whole system itself does not need a voltage regulator. Especially in times when there is low irradiation from the sun, a sophisticated automatic voltage regulator may help controlling how little supplier power should be expended to keep the system running especially during the cold and rainy season in the Philippines.
Hydroelectricity
Hydropower will inevitably need an automatic voltage regulator but it would just be one of the regulators that it will need. To make a sound hydroelectric power system, it would also require a manual voltage regulator for after the AVR initiates and an Over Current Limiter for when the generator drops in desired voltage.
Wind Turbines
Wind turbines needs 2 circuits: one is to keep current output within a certain limit and the other one is to convert the AC output to DC then back to AC for the variable power of the wind and therefore power generation. The second automatic voltage regulator is necessary not only for strong wind but also for low winds; automatic voltage regulator suppliers might find that they need to provide more sophisticated forms of circuitry for wind turbines in the Philippines.
