Monitoring
We can easily install monitoring systems which will give clients in depth analytics on their utility supplies.
The systems monitor in real time, the utility usage, CO2 emissions and wasted electric, gas and water. This will help them understand when their services are efficient and where they can be adapted to become more economical without affecting their productivity.
This information can then be mapped as a benchmark for forthcoming years, to improve energy efficiency and to predict seasonal changes in their consumption.
Power Factor Correction and Voltage Optimisation
Power factor correction is the evaluation of your energy supply to interpret how efficiently your electricity is being utilised.
By measuring your inflows of energy against your “useful output” we can establish how much electricity is being wasted and amend this ratio.
What Effect Does Power Factor Correction Have On Motor Rating and Efficiency?
All motors have a rating for efficiency in the form of power factor with the ultimate power factor described as 1.00pf, although most motors will operate well below the ultimate efficiency level and consume more energy.
The combined effect of a number of motors will normally result in a poor power factor and low efficiency, it is not uncommon for a manufacturer to operate with a power factor as poor as 0.70pf or 70% efficiency resulting in higher energy bills.
Power Factor Correction addresses this inefficiency and delivers real measurable energy savings by reducing power consumption, removing reactive power charges on electricity bills and reducing demand and carbon emissions.
