Smart Metering
Energy management is an ongoing process. As your infrastructure, staff, and business change, so do your needs.
Smart Metering tracks electricity consumption to identify its cost and usage pattern throughout a site. This enables decisions to be taken on the utilisation of equipment with accurate cost and usage analysis details.
Whether to comply with legislation, reduce COČ output, save the planet's resources or simply reduce overheads, it will provide all the information necessary.
Real-time and historical consumption of any feed, spur, or appliance can be displayed anywhere you have access to the Internet using a PC, PDA or mobile phone. Determine how much any site, building, office, or appliance costs to run. See when places and appliances use electricity, and when they don't.
Email and SMS notifications can alert you about unexpected or unauthorised consumption. Unexpected downtime can be avoided by knowing when appliances are failing or becoming unsafe when increased consumption can lead to dangerous overheating.
The system can be installed in any new or existing electrical distribution system without any disruption. Consumption between 10W to 10MW can be stored, processed, analysed, and displayed.
Electricity consumption can be seen in real-time. Any period in the past can be recalled, and comparisons made between one period against another. It shows when appliances are used, and how much they cost over any period.
Trackers are installed next to distribution boards on the site(s). Each tracker collects and transmits (via the Internet) readings from up to 54 small clip-on sensors installed on any feed, ring, or spur within the distribution board. Any number of trackers can be installed on any number of sites. Each sensor is the equivalent of a very smart submeter.
