What >>
World energy consumption has risen 45% since 1980. It is projected to be 70% higher by 2030. Emerging markets (including China and India) account for more than 75% of new demand placing new pressures on global resources. Meanwhile, mature markets such as North America, Europe and Japan will also face increased demand and limited resources. These mature markets will continue legislating to reduce consumption, shift to alternative energy sources, and improve energy security. Increased resources competition and political instability will cause oil and natural gas prices to remain at or above current levels for the foreseeable future. Coal will continue to be the cheapest and most plentiful resource. This will maintain pressure on reducing emissions and sustain the need for global climate change actions. More than ever, global warming is at the top of the agenda. Environmental concerns and public opinion on climate change will drive continued actions by legislators, opinion leaders, and special interest groups forcing industry to respond.

Energy use analysis & tariff optimization with

Power management systems

Is there any energy management system that can help manage my consumption and optimize my energy spending?

Energy Efficiency focus >>

Diagnosis of energy consumption and cost allocation is a key first step to achieving reduction in energy consumption. Energy Use Analysis solutions provide the means to understand energy consumption of all relevant utilities (Water, Air, Gas, Electricity, Steam). Cost allocation and subbilling reports enable building or factory owners to hold tenants and cost centres more accountable for energy costs. Subsequent actions can reduce overall energy usage by 8 to 10%! In addition, minimizing risk and maximizing value through secure stable electricity contracts is a high priority for energy managers and executives. Energy Tariff Optimization solutions can have significant impact on overall utility costs. Businesses can optimize the cost of their energy if they have the knowledge and expertise to negotiate advantageous supply agreements. Maximum savings can be gained with strategies to fully leverage the best available tariffs.

Power factor correction & harmonics filtering

How to improve my electrical network performance and improve the energy efficiency?

Energy Efficiency focus >>

Most utilities have specific policies for billing for reactive energy. Price penalties are applied if the active power / apparent power ratio is not within the guidelines. Power Factor Correction solutions modify and control the reactive power to avoid utility penalties, and reduce overall kVA demand. These solutions result in lowering utility power bills by 5 to 10%. Harmonics stress the electrical network and potentially damage equipment. Harmonic Filtering solutions are a means to reduce and eliminate the harmonics. They increase the service life of equipment up to 32% for single phase machines, up to 18% for three phase machines and up to 5% for transformers.

Solutions >>
Power Factor Correction: Varplus2, Varpact, Varlogic, Rectimat2 Every electric machine needs active and reactive power to operate. Power factor measurement identifies the level of reactive power and optimizes it to minimize cost and avoid penalties. If the power factor drops below the limit set by the utility, then the power factor correction bank modifies the level to avoid penalties. By correcting poor power factor, these solutions also reduce kVA demand. Reduced kVA demand results in a 5 to 10%, lower utility power bill, cooler equipment operation and longer equipment life. In addition proper power factor correction helps optimize electrical network loading and improves reliability. Harmonic filtering: Varset, UPS Sinewave, Accusine Equipment such as drives, inverters, UPS, arc furnaces, transformers, filters and discharge lamps generate voltage distortion or harmonics. These harmonics stress the network, overload cables and transformers, cause outages and disturb many types of equipment such as computers, telephones, and rotating machines. The life of equipment can be greatly reduced. Harmonic filtering is a means to reduce and eliminate the harmonics. These solutions increase service life of equipment up to 32% for single-phase machines, up to 18% for tree phase machines and up to 5% for transformers.
