I. Energy Efficiency

A 4-step Process:

1. Survey and Coverage

- defining the coverage

- identifying and assessing the structure of energy distribution systems and monitoring points

2. Monitoring and Auditing

- setting a precise and clear energy savings target

- Cargo and Process Analysis

- calculating current emissions

3. Optimization

- identifying possible options to optimize energy consumption

4. Comparison, Adjustment and Forecast

- evaluating the effect compared to past observations

- repeating the optimization process

 

II. Evolution of power distribution systems

A key factor for new technologies

1. Past

- 1 network analyzer for local monitoring of electrical installations with high accuracy

- possibility of additional local network analyzers

2. Present

- additional installation of measuring devices on the distribution system with medium/high accuracy

- use of a local monitoring system

 

3. Near Future

- all electrical parameters will be measured with high accuracy

- all devices will exchange information with the cloud
