Energy Monitoring

Introduction

You can only control what you know…

In recent years the great increase in the price of energy and commitment to the environment has led us to make rational use of energy.

Energy monitoring consist in the constant obtaining readings of the various consumption that make our facility and its subsequent management, so as to analyze, organize and select the energy consumption.

Therefore, it allows us total control of the consumption of our facility, which will lead to substantial savings without investing in facilities

In addition, the system can afford the performance on the facility are monitored, either remotely or by setting parameters for action, would be talking about remote.

Why Monitoring?

We have already made a brief summary of the monitoring and the main reason now delve into more detail what is going to provide a monitoring system:

We can know the independent consumption by installation, department (cost imputation), machines and anything else that we want to measure, for example, we can compare for different locations within the same company.
Measurement of power and active / reactive energy.
Identify what are the hours of consumption and from there set the on-off devices (light, machinery).
Reports of energy efficiency, not only informative, we can define them saving actions.
On and off of charges without having to attendance act.
Identificar el tipo de suministro de la compañía eléctrica (picos de tensión, interrupciones)
Know what are the weather conditions in which we work (temperature, light, humidity).

Receive alarms via SMS or mail of any parameter that we want to identify and at the same time it occur.
Automate actions without being required human performance.
Harmonics at our installation.
Stage/load imbalance.
Sep point imbalance in air conditioning.
Machinery operating in bad conditions (through it we can detect if servicing is effective or not, and to what extent).
ISO 50001 compliance.
Support for energy audits.
Detect unjustified high consumption.

Datalogger

Electronic device that centralizes all information received by the probes, responsible for implementing the specific protocols of each type of probe and making the interface with the system of communication available in each case. It is also responsible for sending all the information received to the management server.

Sennet Metter

Wired device that allows us to measure the voltage, power, energy, cosines, frequency, intensity, etc., electrical circuits, both single and three phase, the size of the probes varies depending on the current to be measured, its main advantages are: great precision, let you summation circuit, incorporating display and keyboard.

Temperature, light and humidity sensors

Equipped with a temperature sensor, humidity and lighting, wireless device has an integrated (or external optional) antenna can send the signal to the receiver or repeater has an internal battery for up to two years.

The wireless solution allows easy and rapid deployment, this is not needed to get a cable to each point of the building where you want to capture a consumer or shape parameter.

Gateway RF

The function of this device is to provide a communication gateway between the datalogger and gauges with RS485 or RS232 interface through radio frequency, also may increase the communication distance via repeaters. 230 ac powered and external antenna.

Repetear RF

Named above, it serves to extend coverage of the sensors or gateways installed at our facility, in cases of long distances or when there are obstacles to overcome.
Communication is done automatically and self-supporting, requires power and has an external antenna.

Emn Rf

Wireless device, measuring electricity consumption, can be an option where the probes come not by wired distance or obstacles, also serve as repeaters.

Dim Rf

Wireless device manager measure the level of lighting.

Sennet 410

Device responsible of control functions add to the monitoring system, for it has 4 digital inputs and 4 voltage outputs (relays 6A). It connects to your datalogger via RS485 or radio frequency and connect up to 16 devices.

The control functions can be automated in the datalogger itself or send them remotely.

Other dispositives

Additionally, you can also count with other devices able to measure water consumption, gas, thermal..

Energy Platforms

The software includes a powerful modeling tool through which the user can customize the schema of consumption (electricity, water, gas) associating each load of physical location, which in turn relates comfort parameters (temperature, lighting, etc.)

The software includes a calendar with time resolution to allow an expected consumption assigned to each zone based on usage and thus estimate deviations and generate alarm events that can be handled by email or SMS.

The platform does not require any installation, as we said at the beginning is accessible via web, allowing us to access it from any computer connected to the network, has a permissions manager limiting access to the various functions it the application, depending on the level of permissions for each user within the enterprise.

We have extensive experience in integrating energy readings to monitor major platforms currently on the market, such as:

DEXMA, SEINON, CEIBER ENERGY, SENNET VISUAL…

And the analysis of the raw data (CSV), generated by the datalogger.

If you need more details, please feel free to contact us and a specialized team, will carefully inform you about this whole process.
