Humans rely so heavily on electricity that 1st world food and water resources and infrastructure are impossible without it.Food-Water-Energy Nexus

The U.S. food production and supply chain withdraws 126 billion gallons of freshwater per day1

The U.S. electric sector withdraws 161 billion gallons of freshwater per day1

1st world Food and water resources and infrastructure are impossible without electricityUnderstanding and managing electricity is critical for sustainability

Electricity is Calculated, NOT Precisely MeasuredElectrons move at the speed of light which makes measuring true real time electricity very difficult.

e-We lack the ability to acquire precise data at the speed of electricity so we sample as many times as we can and average the data.

We do not precisely measure electricity, we semi-accurately calculate it because it is too fast.We sample as much as we can and then use averages and integrals to calculate the rest.

Electrical energy is constantly converted into heat and vibration energy

These losses are the symptoms of instability in the electrical environmentReal Time Electrical Losses

There are heat and vibration losses in the generation, transmission, distribution, storage, and consumption of electricityThe real problem is instability.Does anybody think that losses and instability have anything to do with the fact that we cannot precisely measure electricity?

3DFS has developed a live response electrical correction and balance technology rooted in precision, real time measurement of electricity

Loss Free Electricity Begins With Measurement

We measure so quickly that we can accurately analyze the real time contours of each waveformAt the micro level, we can inject or extract tiny amounts of current to maintain ideal balance and power qualityLive response electrical correction and balance technology that dynamically prevents electrical lossesmaintains stabilityEnsures lowest possible carbon footprint Guarantees least amount of clean electricity used to accomplish the maximum amount of work

Today, Rejected Energy is mistakenly believed to be irrecoverable losses.

Tomorrow, Software-Defined Power will be able to recover more than half of these losses.

Recovering losses in our electrical networks and grids immediately gives us access to more than 25x the energy that is currently produced by solar through energy efficiency, not generation.Software-Defined Power is a gigantic leap forward in the sustainability of electricity
