Voltage Optimisation

What is Voltage Optimisation?

Quite simply it’s reducing Voltage applied to electrical equipment to make an Energy Saving…

Why can voltages be reduced?

All electrical equipment intended for use in Europe must carry a CE mark to show that it complies with the European Harmonised Voltages between 207and 253V.

Because the European market is far larger than the UK market electrical equipment is predominantly designed to operate most efficiently at 220-230V This means that A rated appliances are only A rated at 220-230V rather than 242V which we experience on average in the UK.

Therefore a large proportion of electrical equipment will consume more energy, the higher the supply voltage applied to it. Because of this it makes more sense to apply voltages that are nearer to the lower end of the CE voltage range.
Voltage Optimisation is designed to provide a supply voltage of around 220V.

Financial savings depend very much on the type of operation and load dynamics which can in broad terms be separated into two main categories:

Voltage Dependent: A voltage dependent load is an electrical device whose energy consumption varies with the voltage being applied to it, these loads will normally benefit from voltage control and reduced energy consumption

Voltage Independent: A voltage independent load is an electrical device whose energy consumption does not vary with the voltage being applied to it, these loads will not normally benefit from voltage control.

We guarantee to reduce your voltage by between 6% and 10%, saving your company up to 19% on your electricity bill.

Protection

Our online Remote Metering & Monitoring Energy Saving and Protection Platform can alert the user to any potential threats of overload or operational problems before they become an issue. By monitoring the effectiveness of renewable energy generation systems, such as solar PV or wind turbines, the system can ensure that they are functioning correctly and delivering the expected performance. It can also control loads remotely, for example to take advantage of peak-shaving and time-based energy tariffs.

The systems are fully expandable and can be made portable, so that they can be used to interrogate or monitor different energy loads around the site, for example from different machines, transformers or generation units.

Added value

As well as saving energy, the Emissis VO Remote Metering & Monitoring solution also adds value to your business through bill validation. By checking your bill against recorded energy use, we ensure that your bill does not include costly mistakes or incorrect penalties and taxes. Where issues are found, then we apply to your energy supplier for an appropriate energy rebate on your behalf.
