Energy Monitoring

Datastor offers a range of solutions designed to provide cost effective Energy monitoring and reduction initiative to industrial consumers.

 

Managing Energy provides significant benefits to any organization by reducing waste, cutting costs, improving profits, as well as helping the environment.

 

The UK government have released the Climate Change Bill committing the UK to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by the year 2050. To do this the UK government is releasing new legislation on businesses and local authorities to cut carbon emissions.

 

Due to intrinsic efficiency of most power plants as well as losses in transmission and distribution electricity network, 1kWh of usage in a building requires 3kWh of production: for each energy unit saved in the building we save 3 times as many at production level.

 

Working in partnership with you we can help your organisation to achieve a number of significant energy and cost savings.

 

Allocation Of Energy Costs

Studies show that industrial energy efficiency is improved most when people have a stake in success. A energy management solution encourages energy efficient behaviour and supports cost accounting by accurately allocating energy overhead to different user groups or processes. You’ll discover where and when energy is consumed and you’ll be better able to motivate employees to meet corporate energy cost reduction goals.

 

Energy Management technology provides tools to:

• Automatically collect, calculate and report costs for buildings, departments, processes, shifts, lines, or equipment
• Remove electricity budgeting guesswork, minimise administrative costs and reduce data entry errors
• Determine the true impact of energy prices on all your production lines

 

 

Peak Demand Reduction

Reducing peak demand is one of the easiest ways to quickly lower your electricity bill. Energy Management technology helps you “smooth out” your demand profile and avoid peak demand surcharges through:

• Automatic forecasting of energy consumption and demand
• Alerts that warn you when demand thresholds risk being exceeded
• Isolating specific power-intensive activities that you may choose to reschedule to off-peak hours
• Automatic load shedding or onsite generation start-up
• Sequencing of motor and HVAC to startup to reduce instantaneous demand
