1. Energy Efficiency Core Technologies
LEMS was Metering, Monitoring & Automation - intelligent Energy Management System.
These technologies effectively turn traditional working environments into Smart Environments.
By attaching small, cost-effective meters , controls to existing technological infrastructure, we
are able to both monitor, track and control energy use remotely on your behalf.
This is often the best place to start a holistic energy-saving upgrade for any site, as we can
accurately determine actual energy use on site, as well as create bespoke uses of appliances;
meaning lights, air-conditioning and machinery can be automated(IOT) to run at different rates,
load/ demand shifting or completely turn on/off based on your businesses actual use.
The system integrates with Clearskys (Energy Analytics and Intelligence software) providing
remarkable insights and the ability to include Artificial Intelligence (AI) for response ,
optimisation and control
Power Factor Correction & Voltage Optimisation
In many countries voltage levels provided by power companies are not typically matched to the
optimum level for most electrical equipment (typically 220V).This is becoming evermore prevalent
in South Africa, with unstable voltages and loadshedding. In order to protect valuable equipment
and reduce energy bills up to 25%, companies have been aided by the advanced technology of
Voltage Stabilisation which diminishes wasted power and reduces a company’s carbon footprint
while contributing towards their Carbon Reduction Commitments.
Power Factor can be defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent
power in a circuit. An electrical system with a low power factor will draw more current than a
system with high power factor for the same amount of power transferred. Power factor should
typically be between 0.95 and 1, if the power factor drops below this utility usually charge
additional costs.
With the rising cost of energy and concerns over the efficient delivery of power, it has become an
important aspect to correct power factor.
It is important to correct power factor for the following reasons:
1. Reduced utility fees by reducing peak KW billing demand and by eliminating the power factor
penalty
2. It increases the system’s capacity and reduces system losses in an electrical system
3. Increased voltage levels. Voltage levels can drop due to low power factor, if there is an
excessive drop in voltage this could cause damage to equipment as a result of excess heating.
