TPI’s Powerhouse is a patented electrical control system that recycles a facility’s otherwise-wasted power, storing and using it to constantly balance and optimize voltage throughout the system, reducing demand levels and total power consumption.
Installed at a primary power source, Powerhouse is the only existing technology able to successfully capture electricity, store it, and use it to optimize power quality and lower kilowatt demand.
TPI’s Powerhouse is a patented electrical control system that recycles a facility’s otherwise-wasted power, storing and using it to constantly balance and optimize voltage throughout the system, reducing demand levels and total power consumption.
Installed at a primary power source, Powerhouse is the only existing technology able to successfully capture electricity, store it, and use it to optimize power quality and lower kilowatt demand.
All facilities have a portion of power lost to the ground and never consumed, known as reactive power. With its patented design, the Powerhouse can capture this reactive power, condition it into usable energy, and store or use it as a secondary power source.
When irregularities like blips, sags, spikes, or surges are detected, the Powerhouse unit uses its recycled, secondary power source to ‘balance out’ the abnormality or voltage imbalance, whether from unexpected or ongoing voltage events. The result is constantly optimized voltage, even under your facility’s heaviest loads, preventing electrical events from knocking operations offline and prolonging the lifespan of your equipment.
This advanced power conditioning system delivers comprehensive electrical optimization capabilities. It eliminates disruptive voltage events like sags, spikes, and surges while balancing three-phase voltages evenly regardless of load.
The system boosts overall voltage levels to enhance equipment performance and reduces harmonic distortion by 80%. It lowers peak demand by 20% and energy consumption by 5-10%, decreasing amperage draw by 15-20% to free up capacity. The power factor is optimized above 0.95 to minimize reactive power losses.
Ultimately, the system significantly reduces energy usage and carbon footprint, making electrical systems more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Simply put, Powerhouse is the world’s first power recycling system, taking otherwise-wasted electricity and instead using it to optimize the electrical system as a whole. While the technology is undoubtedly groundbreaking, many parts within the system are existing products, such as MOVs or capacitor banks, commonly seen for power factor correction.
With their inclusion in its patented design, the Powerhouse can provide all of the benefits seen in these traditional power factor correction technologies, such as improved power factor and voltage.
What sets the Powerhouse apart from traditional capacitor banks is its ability to constantly, instantaneously balance voltage. The combination of power recycling technology and constant voltage balancing results in significant demand reduction, slowing the rate at which power will need to be drawn from the utility transformer.
In over 1,500 installations, the Powerhouse has produced average cost savings of over 10% from reduced kW demand and kWh consumption alone before considering operational savings from electrical event prevention.
Eliminates Sags, Blips, Spikes, & Surges
The secondary, recycled power source immediately corrects voltage events as they occur, eliminating sags, blips, spikes, surges, and other voltage events from impacting the system.
A 50,000 V surge protector is included in the design as a backup shield for your equipment.
Balances Three-Phase Voltages
Voltage imbalance is eliminated as the three phases are brought closer together and maintains this optimized balance, no matter the load size.
Boosts System Voltage
Overall system voltage is improved, minimizing low voltage issues and ensuring equipment runs at the optimum voltage it is rated for.
Reduces Amperage
Amps are reduced by 15-20%, reducing the load on your current system and freeing up amperage for new equipment without requiring switchgear additions.
Improves Power Factor
The Powerhouse minimizes the amount of reactive power in a system by capturing and recycling it into usable energy, optimizing the existing power factor above a .95 level.
Reduces Carbon Footprint
Decreased overall energy consumption and a more efficient electrical system combine to reduce your facility’s carbon footprint drastically.
Reduces Harmonic Distortion
Any harmonic distortion present in the system is reduced by 80%.
Reduces kW & kVA Demand
Combining a secondary power source and voltage-balancing technology can significantly improve system efficiency, lowering peak demand levels by 20%.
Reduces kWh Consumption
Power recycling technology allows more use of the power you are already receiving from the utility transformer, slowing the required draw and lowering kWh consumption by 5-10%.
