Kontrolirajte potrošnju električne energije

Vaši troškovi električne energije su ogromni? Obustavite uzaludnu potrošnju sa Eniskopom.

˝Kako znati koji je prvi korak u procesu smanjenja potrošnje˝

Neil Gould, Powergen

U ovom trenutku, do 40% Vaše energetske potrošnje je uzaludno. Problem je identificirati kojih 40%.

Današnje kompanije koriste desetke… stotine…čak hiljade mašina i proizvoda na struju bez razmišljanja. Osvjetljenje, klima uređaji, pomične mehaničke stepenice, sredstva za proizvodnju, transportne vrpce te hlađenje – su samo neki od njih.

Neophodna sredstva trgovine – ali koja je cijena njihovog funkcioniranja?

Inače, ne možete vidjeti, procijeniti ili uporediti potrošnju energije na osnovu opreme koju koristite. Postoji jedan mjesečni ili čak tromjesečni račun za sve, tako da su sve promjene koje uvedete bazirane na nagađanju.

Eniscope je unikatan električni monitor, koji priključen na vaš sistem očitava značajne podatke o potrošnji električne energije i daje grafičke analize – direktno na vaš kompjuter.

Uredno instalirana na zid uz vaš mjerni sat, Eniskopova kompaktna, nezavisna kutija kombinira tehnologiju mjerenja svjetskog kvaliteta te izrazito siguran web server; čini trenutna očitavanja i grafičke zapise pristupačnim 24 sata dnevno, sa vašeg desktopa, laptopa, PDA-a ili mobilnog aparata.

Logujte se na Eniskopovu unikatnu, potpuno pristupačnu nadzornu ploču za sve ostale informacije koje trebate na jeziku koji razumijete – bila to potrošnja u kW, zahtjevi za očitavanje najvećeg prometa potrošnje struje, produkcije ugljika ili utrošenog novca – upravo sada, ili u vidu grafikona analize posljednjih nekoliko sati, dana ili sedmica.

Smjesta možete ući u trag kretanjima potrošnje, nedostacima ili gubicima, donijeti informirane odluke..te vidjeti trenutačne rezultate poboljšanja koja ste uveli. Vi sve kontrolirate.

Rezultat? Umanjeni tragovi ugljika, uspješnije javno zapažanje… te niži energetski troškovi.

˝Ulaganje u produktivnost energije može biti mnogo isplatnije od burze dionica.˝

Lindsay Audin, Columbia University

Uvjeti poslovanja

Jedna od sigurnih činjenica o budućem biznis okruženju jeste da će se povećanje cijena energije nastaviti.

U sve većoj mjeri, energija postaje glavni centar za troškove – čak i za one biznise koji tradicionalno ne troše toliko energije.

Zapamtite, reduciranje Vaših energetskih troškova Vam automatski stvara čist profit.

…veća djelotvornost Vam može omogućiti da ponudite bolju vrijednost vlastitim potrošačima – te stvoriti konkurentsku prednost na tržištu.

˝Nemojte misliti da će siromaštvo postati historijska činjenica– klimatske promjene će ustaliti siromaštvo.

Nazmul Chowdhury

Moralni imperativ

Problem klimatskih promjena je sada generalno postao najveća prijetnja cijelom čovječanstvu – čineći prekomjernu potošnju električne energije krajnje besmislenom.

Svaka kompanija ima moralnu obavezu da sagleda vlastitu potrošnju energije, štedeći tamo gdje je to moguće.

Onih 40% uzaludne potrošnje je odličan početak.

˝Ignoriranje klimatskih promjena će postati najskuplji od svih izbora, za nas i našu djecu˝

Peter Ewins, British Mereorological Office

Više od mjerača

Samo nekoliko biznisa uočava da je njihov račun za električnu energiju iskalkuliran na osnovu statistike – ne jednostavno na osnovu potrošnje.

Najveći promet potrošnje je ključni. Zavisno od tarifnih stopa, nagla potrošnja – u trajanju od nekoliko minuta – može uveliko povećati troškove po jedinici mjere za čak 12 mjeseci.

Eniscopovi grafički zapisi otkrivaju važne detalje na vašem računu, konstantno provjeravajući svaki mjerljivi parametar. 18 najvidljivijih očitanja je grafički predstavljeno 24/7.

Eniscope

Take control of your energy consumption

Does your energy cost the earth? Eliminate waste with Eniscope.

“Knowing where to start when reducing energy wastage can be difficult.”

Neil Gould, Powergen

Right now, up to 40% of your energy is going to waste. The trouble is identifying which 40%.

Today’s businesses use dozens… hundreds… even thousands of electrically-powered items without even thinking. Lighting, air-conditioning, escalators, production facilities, conveyors & refrigeration to name just a few.

Essential tools of the trade – but what do they cost to run?

Normally, you can’t see, evaluate or compare the energy consumed by the equipment you use. There’s one monthly – or even quarterly – bill for everything, so any changes you make are based upon guesswork.

Eniscope is a unique energy monitor, which plugs into your system and relays meaningful energy use data and graphical analysis – direct to your computer.

Wall-mounted neatly alongside your building’s fuse board, Eniscope’s compact, self-contained casing combines world-class metering technology with its own, highly secure web server; putting live readings and real-time graphical logs within reach, 24 hours a day, from your desktop, laptop, PDA or mobile phone.

Log in to Eniscope’s unique, fully customisable Energy Dashboard to see all the information you need in a language you understand – whether that’s kW consumption, peak demand, carbon output or money spent – right now, and as an analysis graph of the last few hours, days or weeks.

Instantly, you can spot trends, anomalies and wastage, make informed decisions… and see immediate results from improvements you’ve made. You’re in control.

The result? A smaller carbon footprint, better public perception… and lower energy costs.

“Investing in energy efficiency can be more profitable than the stock market.”

Lindsay Audin, Columbia University

The Business Case

One of the few absolute certainties about tomorrow’s business environment is that energy prices will continue to rise.

Increasingly, power is becoming a major cost centre – even for businesses that are not traditionally energy intensive.

Remember, reductions in your energy costs go straight to your bottom line as pure profit.

…and being leaner and more efficient can enable you to offer better value to your own customers – giving you a competitive edge in the marketplace.

“Forget making poverty history – climate change will make poverty permanent.”

Nazmul Chowdhury

The Moral Imperative

Climate change is now generally recognised as the single biggest threat facing mankind worldwide – making energy waste even more senseless.

Every company has a powerful moral obligation to examine its own energy use, achieving savings where possible.

The 40% that is going to waste is a great place to start.

“Ignoring climate change will be the most costly of all possible choices, for us and our children.”

Peter Ewins, British Mereorological Office

More Than A Meter

Few business realise their energy bill is calculated using several statistics – not simply consumption.

Peak demand is critical. Depending on tariff charges, a surge in usage – lasting a matter of minutes – could massively increase your energy unit price for up to 12 months.

Eniscope’s graphical logs unpack the important detail behind your bill, keeping round the clock checks of every measurable energy parameter. The 18 most salient readings can be viewed graphically 24/7.

Eniscope: your full time energy manager. Virtually.

IMEC

How does iMEC work?

AC induction motors consume more than half of all the worlds’ energy! Unfortunately, motors lack the intelligence to address three key problems that lead to massive energy wastage, unnecessary carbon emissions and undue wear and tear:

1) Fixed speed motor driven applications like escalators cannot intelligently adjust their torque output to match load changes leading to excess energy consumption.

2) Motors that drive applications like pumps and fans cannot intelligently adjust their speed to match load changes and as such consume more power than they need.

3) When starting, a motor develops more torque than is required at full speed. This high inrush of current can lead to mechanical breakdown and peak demand penalties. To avoid the problems associated with starting, motors are often left running continuously even when they are not being used leading to huge energy waste.

The iMEC solution effortlessly addresses all of these problems by introducing intelligence to your existing systems:

1) iMEC can be applied to fixed speed applications and will dynamically adjust the torque output to meet load requirement without altering the speed (see fig. 1). his leads to substantial savings and is ideal for applications like escalators and many others which run at no/low load for long periods of time. In the right applications, payback is typically under two years!

2) iMEC can be specified to intelligently adjust the speed of your motors to match their variable loading so your motors only consume the power they need. This is a vast improvement over traditional control methods such as throttling (see fig. 2). A mere 20% reduction in speed can lead to energy savings of up to 50%!

3) iMEC provides a smooth, step-less acceleration (soft start) of your motors (see fig. 3). This dramatically reduces wear and tear on your system and helps you to avoid peak demand penalties. With a controlled start in place your motors can now be switched off without the fear of re-starting and iMEC can be programmed to perform this function automatically. Auto Switch Off delivers 100% energy savings!

Benefits of iMEC

	Speed control delivers savings of up to 50%.
	Torque control can offer a payback in under 2 years.
	Controlled starting reduces wear & tear and peak demand costs.
	Auto Switch Off delivers 100% energy savings.

Case study

Three iMEC’s were installed on the fans of a fiber glass production line in the UK.

The installation delivered a return on investment of 1 year 9 months, providing $225,000 on the bottom line every year after payback!

ACES

How does ACES work?

Air conditioning systems are usually dimensioned to cope with the extreme cooling demands of the few hottest days of the year (plus a safety margin). However, in most operational conditions, this maximum output is not required and the system is oversized. So running the system continuously until the room thermostat switches it off means that the system operates with excess capacity for most of the time.

This is where an ACES cuts in. Its sensor-driven software algorithms are designed to detect thermodynamic saturation and to optimize the compressor accordingly. When over capacity is detected, ACES switches the compressor off and avoids inefficient overcooling (see diagrams opposite). ACES switches into “saver mode”, the fan keeps running and your system makes maximum use of the stored cooling energy in the heat exchanger. Once the stored energy is used up, the compressor can work efficiently again and is switched back on. The set room temperature is reached without the inefficient parts of the cooling cycle. This results in significant energy savings without compromising cooling comfort.

Figure: Typical operating cycle of AC system controlled only by room thermostat

Figure: Typical operating cycle of AC system including ACES

Benefits of an ACES

	An ACES adds state-of the art intelligence to air-con systems and improves their energy efficiency.
	It achieves average energy savings of between 20% and 30% resulting in a short payback.
	It is a retro-fit product to upgrade existing units which can be installed in about 15 minutes.
	It is an excellent alternative to an expensive new system.
	It is engineered and manufactured in Europe to the highest quality standards.

CUES

CUES

How does CUES work?

Refrigeration units work in a series of cycles – starting and stopping to maintain the required temperature. They usually monitor circulating air temperature in order to decide when to switch on and off – so we call them air cycles. However, circulating air temperature tends to rise quickly, far more quickly than food temperature and, as a result, refrigeration works harder than necessary to maintain stored products at the right temperature. This in turn leads to excessive energy consumption and undue wear and tear on the equipment.

This is where CUES kicks in. CUES consists of a food simulant contained in a double-skinned enclosure. This food simulant mimics the temperature of food at 10mm below the surface. Due to its specific design, CUES ensures that refrigeration keeps food at the correct temperature.

When fitted to the thermostat sensor, which controls the compressor, CUES significantly reduces the frequency of the refrigeration cycles as they are now based on food temperature rather than fluctuating air temperature.

Air cycles typically produce a minimum of 12 cycles/hour and, in some open display cases, 20 cycles/hour. By using CUES as a cycle control mechanism, refrigerated cycles can be reduced by as much as 80%.

As the start-up of a refrigerator compressor uses 3 times more power than in the running cycle, considerable energy savings are achieved. In addition, the more efficient refrigeration cycle leads to a more efficient unit, which then leads to a colder storage area. Consequently, you can turn down the thermostat and enjoy further energy savings without compromising food safety and quality.

Its simple – more efficient refrigeration cycles = substantial energy savings.

Example:

a traditional Dairy Display Case cycles 3 minutes on, 2 minutes off = 12 cycles per hour.

With a CUES fitted, the cycles change to 8 minutes on, 7 minutes off = 4 cycles per hour.

This equates to a 66.7% reduction in starts.

Benefits of CUES

	CUES can achieve savings of up to 30% resulting in a short payback.
	It reduces wear and tear thus extending the life of the equipment.
	Its application results in fewer breakdowns, sensor failures and reduces noise pollution.
	It maintains food at a safer temperature resulting in less product spoilage.
	It is a one-time retro-fit product requiring no further maintenance once installed.

Case study

150 CUES were fitted throughout the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel, London. This installation is yielding annual electricity savings of $34,000 in addition to the benefits that come from reduced noise, maintenance and breakdown. As a result of the savings achieved CUES is now being installed in all of the Park Plaza Hotels in the UK.

LESS

How does LESS work?

Conventional fluorescent lighting, while an improvement over the incandescent technology used in the first light bulbs, still suffers from three significant energy wasting problems:

1) Conventional ballasts, which provide the output to the lamp, offer limited control resulting in excess energy consumption and unwanted heat which is expensive and damaging.

2) It has no way of intelligently responding to occupancy changes so lights are frequently left on unnecessarily.

3) It cannot compensate for the presence of natural daylight, so light is produced whether you need it or not.

LESS will effortlessly resolve these problems by bringing intelligence to your existing system and providing you with a comfortable, energy efficient lighting scenario:

1) ‘Daytronic’ ballasts improve the efficiency of the output to the lamp and allow them to be dimmed (see figure 1).

2) State of the art occupancy detection, which can even sense the click of a mouse button, ensures that lights are turned off when not needed (see figure 2).

3) ‘Daylight Harvesting’ sensors respond dynamically to the presence of natural light by intelligently adjusting light intensity to maintain perfect lighting levels (see figure 2).

Benefits of LESS

	It can deliver total savings of over 50%.
	It is a no compromise, high-comfort, high efficiency solution.
	It offers a simple retro-fit installation.
	It uses the smallest sensors on the market to ensure elegant integration.

If you need more control, more savings and more profit… you need LESS.

ACES

Kako ACES funkcionira?

Klimatizacijski sistemi su najčešće dimenzionirani da odgovore ektremnim zahtjevima hlađenja onih nekoliko najtoplijih dana u godini (uključujući sigurnosne granice). Međutim, kod većine klima uređaja, maksimalna snaga nije određena te su dimenzije sistema prekomjerne. Kontinuirano funkcioniraje sistema dok ga termostat sam ne isključi znači da sistem operira većinu vremena koristeći prekomjernu snagu.

To je pravo vrijeme za ACES. Njegovi senzorski softverski algoritmi su dizajnirani da otkriju termodinamičko zasićenje i prema tome optimiziraju kompresor. Kada je detektiran prekomjerni kapacitet, ACES isključuje kompresor te izbjegava nedjelotvorno pretjerano rashlađivanje (pogledati dijagrame).

Karakterističan proces rada AC sistema kotroliranog samo sobnom temperaturom

Prednosti ACES-a

	ACES unosi umjetnu inteligenciju u klimatizacijske sisteme te poboljšava njihovu energetsku efikasnost.
	Postiže srednju uštedu energije od između 20% i 30% i rezultira brzim povratom novca.
	To je retro-fit sistem koji se može nadograditi na postojeće jedinice u roku od 15 minuta.
	Predstavlja odličnu alternativu novim, skupim sistemima.
	Sistem je isplaniran i proizveden u Evropi prema visoko kvalitetnim standardima.

IMEC

Kako IMEC funkcionira?

AC asinkroni motori konzumiraju više od polovice cjelokupne svjetske energije. Nažalost, motori ne raspolažu inteligencijom koja bi upućivala na tri ključna problema koja dovode do masivnog gubitka i rasipanja električne energije, neptrebne emisije ugljika te nepravovremenog habanja i trošenja:

1. Motorni uređaji fiksne brzine kao sto su pokretne stepenice, ne mogu inteligentno prilagoditi svoje obrtaje promjenama tereta koje vode do pretjerane potrošnje energije.

2. Motori koji pokreću uređaje kao što su pumpe i ventilatori ne mogu inteligentno prilagoditi svoju brzinu izmjenama tereta i kao takvi troše više energije nego što im je potrebno.

3. Prilikom starta motor razvija više obrtaja nego što je potrebno u punoj brzini. Ovaj visoki strujni pritisak može dovesti do mehaničkih kvarova i krajnje tačke zagrijavanja. Kako bi se izbjegli ovakvi problemi, motori se često ostavljaju da rade besprekidno, čak i onda kada se ne koriste – što dovodi do ogromnih gubitaka energije.

iMEC će bez napora riješiti ove probleme uvodeći inteligenciju u Vaše postojeće sisteme:

1) iMEC se može primjeniti na uređaje fiksne brzine te će dinamički prilagoditi obrtaje teretu bez mjenjanja brzine (vidi sliku 1). To dovodi do znatne uštede i idealno je rješenje za aplikacije kao što su pokretne stepenice i mnoge druge koje funkcioniraju pod teretom ili bez tereta u dugim vremenskim razdobljima. Uz prave uređaje financijski povrat se ostvaruje za manje od 2 godine.

2) iMEC se može inteligentno prilagoditi brzini vaših motora i uskladiti se sa njihovim promjenjivim punjenjima tako da Vam motori troše samo onoliko energije koliko je potrebno. Ovo je golem napredak u donosu na tradicionalne metode kontrole kao što je throttling tj. podešena kontrola (vidi sliku 2). Tek 20% smanjenja brzine može dovesti do uštede enrgije do čak 50%.

3) iMEC omogućava jednostavno, slabije ubrzanje pri startovanju (sporij start) Vaših motora (vidi sliku 3). Ovo značajno smanjuje habanje i kvarenje Vaših sistema te Vam pomaže da izbjegnete dostizanje krajnje tačke zagrijavanja. Sa iskontroliranim startom Vaši se motori sada mogu isključiti bez da strahujete od ponovnog početka rada. iMEC se može podesiti da automatski obavlja ovu funkciju. Automatsko isključenje (Auto Switch Off) ostvaruje 100% uštedu energije.

Prednosti IMEC-a

	Kontroliranje brzine osigurava uštedu do čak 50%.
	Kontorliranje obrtaja osigurava povrat za manje od 2 godine.
	Kontrolirani start reducira habanje i kvarove i krajnje troškove potrošnje.
	Automatsko isključivanje osigurava 100% uštedu energije.

Analiza slučaja

Tri iMECA su instalirana na ventilatore u proizvodnoj liniji optičkih vlakana u Velikoj Britaniji.

Instalacija je osigurala povrat ulaganja od 1 godine i 9 mjeseci, ostvarujući $225,000 konačne bilance svake godine nakon PAYBACK.

LED Halogen Replacements

Note: Due to widely varying range of available light fittings from different manufacturers, it is advisable to check any fitting against the below dimensions to ensure compatibility. Compatible high quality fittings are available from Enigin. Please note that due to the internal LED drive circuitry, the two models are not suitable for use with a dimmer, please enquire should you require information on our dimmable versions.

Example calculation

An installation has 200 x 35 W halogen downlights which are illuminated for an average of 12 hours per day, 300 days per year. The halogens have a life expectancy of about 2000 hours and cost £2 to replace.

Using Enigin’s LED replacements instead would save approximately 30W per lamp replaced. Each halogen is replaced twice yearly.

costing £4 x 200 = £800 per year.

This represents a total saving of

30W x 200 x 12 hours = 72 kW per day.

At an electricity cost of 12p per kW, this is £8.64 per day or £2,592 per year, giving a total saving on electricity and replacement lamps of

£2,592 +£ 800 = £3392 per year

ENERGY IS A CONCERN FOR MOST EUROPEAN REGIONS

ess — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:23:59 +0000

Europe can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80% and reduce its energy bill by 350 billion Euros ($476 billion) a year by 2050, if it acts within five years, reported from the European Climate Foundation in Brussels today.

The cost of energy per unit may fall as much as 30% by 2050, due to increased energy efficiency, shifts away from oil and gas power generation and lower exposure of greener industries to carbon prices, according to the report.

“The report reveals many myths are untrue and shows how achievable the renewable energy pathways are,” said Tom Brookes, head of the Energy Strategy Centre at the foundation. “Existing nuclear capacity and fossil fuels will be almost off by 2050. We will have to build new capacity, and at the end of the day it’s a political decision where you direct funding.”

A low-carbon economy faces “profound implementation challenges,” the study said, with spending on new technologies and energy-efficiency measures likely to top 3 trillion Euros over 40 years. The increase in spending needed, to boost the efforts of energy saving will be offset by smaller operating costs from lower fossil fuel requirements and savings from higher energy efficiency.

The Foundation urged the EU to adopt compulsory energy efficiency targets, request long-term targets for renewable-generation technologies, and ensure sufficient financing for low-carbon projects.
