I am looking to see how effective the capacitor banks implementation can be to correct power factor based on my other post. I wanted to know if there is a database for ITAC for review it?
Glad to hear that you are looking into capacitor banks. Yes there is an ITAC database which is a DOE-supported national repository of assessment data, containing results from over 20,000 assessments conducted since 1981. It is managed by Rutgers University’s Center for Advanced Energy Systems (CAES) and provides anonymized recommendations, savings estimates, and implementation outcomes. You can find it here: https://itac.university/search/recommendations. To see results related to capacitor banks you can enter 2.3212 in ARC to see all the recommendations related to correcting power factors and then you can filter various other variables to see specific results. Please let us know if you need additional information.
This is very helpful. Can you tell me what this ARC mean and what they represent?
ARC stands for Assessment Recommendation Code, a standardized taxonomy that classifies each recommendation by resource type, strategy, and application area. For example, “2.71” refers to all lighting related recommendation, while “2.3212” refers to optimize plant power factor. ARC standardization allows consistent reporting across 30+ centers and decades of assessments. It also enables statistical analysis, benchmarking, and cross-sector comparisons for researchers and policymakers. Information about all the ARCs can be found here: https://itac.university/file/technical/ARC%20List%20-%20V21.1.pdf .
