How can we boost energy productivity?
BUILDING AUTOMATION STORY
The new Energy Efficiency Act imposes high demands on companies and authorities. The tasks include consuming significantly less energy and making processes more energy efficient. Energy monitoring and energy management are crucial. This is where ABB’s InSite energy management system comes into play. It is scalable for any building where it monitors and controls energy consumption, currents, voltage, temperature, and switching states. With enhanced transparency, individuals in charge can analyze energy flows granularly, allowing them to implement proactive measures.
What helps against excessive energy consumption?
Excessive energy usage is frequently a consequence of unclear factors, such as numerous appliances, multiple rooms, and high occupancy. Monitoring becomes beneficial when it facilitates decision-making, enabling prompt responses. It all begins with a continuous examination of the building's interior. This is why the new system is aptly named InSite. With its modular design, the new InSite SCU200 can integrate various devices and applications, offering greater flexibility with a cloud connection than conventional systems.
Is energy management only worthwhile for large buildings?
No, it's not. The new InSite operates with a central control unit that links all applications, such as solar systems with wall boxes for electric cars. It is easily managed through smartphones connected to Wi-Fi. The data is stored on the web server, enabling the system to be flexibly adapted to various requirements, regardless of size. The energy savings are significantly higher than the modest management costs, even for small buildings.
More than monitoring: Multi-measuring device D1M
The D1M multi-measuring devices set a new standard in electrical analysis. The D1M 20 offers an LCD display, calculated neutral conductor current, timer functions, tariffs, CO2 and currency conversion as well as comprehensive power quality analyses. The D1M 15 focuses on basic electrical parameters for energy monitoring and precise billing.
Empower your systems, with remote control and automation
In public areas or stores, the loss of power to lighting systems, supermarket refrigerators or freezers, alarms, elevators, or electric gates can have serious consequences for people and goods, ranging from the failure of public lighting and store signage, food spoilage, inability to utilize anti-theft and surveillance systems, and inefficiencies in payment systems.
In scenarios where continuity of service is vital, particularly in hard-to-reach installations, Motor Operating Devices (MODs) for MCBs and RCDs and Auto-Reclosing units (ARs) for RCCBs are essential, enabling remote control of the associated protective equipment.
