## How can power factor be determined when only current is measured? EnergyColoring estimates active power and power factor in high-voltage circuits “without voltage measurements”

株式会社EnergyColoring has developed a technology to estimate active power and power factor without measuring the voltage waveform of the target circuit. The method estimates the voltage phase from the sensor’s own consumption current, and a patent application has been filed. The technology is scheduled to be exhibited at CEATEC 2026.

Facts:
- 株式会社EnergyColoring has developed a technology to estimate active power and power factor at a high-voltage receiving point without measuring the voltage waveform of the target circuit.
- A patent application has been filed for the estimation method.
- The phase of the sensor supply voltage is estimated from the sensor’s own consumption current, then compared with the load characteristics to determine the fixed phase difference from the main circuit voltage.
- Estimates of active power and power factor were evaluated across 105 measurement points: 7 sensors × 15 conditions.
- Across all 105 measurement points, the maximum absolute differences were 0.332 kW (4.43%FS) for active power, 0.085 kVA (1.14%FS) for apparent power, and 0.082 pt. (8.2%FS) for power factor.
- The technology will be exhibited at CEATEC 2026 (Oct. 13-16, 2026, Makuhari Messe, Hall 4, Booth 4H437).
- At facilities that can use existing CTTs and service outlets, the system can be installed quickly without electrical work. Via an LTE connection, power and power factor data can be checked remotely in 1-minute increments, starting 1 minute after installation.
- “Phase locking,” which extracts current waveforms synchronized with the estimated main circuit voltage, will be used for disaggregation (breaking down power use by application).
