Load management
From a consumption of approximately 100 MWh per year of electricity or 500 MWh of heat, energy suppliers create so-called load profiles. In these, the power to be provided for the respective metering point is recorded in table form at quarter-hourly intervals. The entire energy market functions in this 15-minute cycle. In this way, short-, […]
ISO 9001
Quality management serves to improve products or services by meeting customer requirements. A QMS (Quality Management System) is therefore focused on customer satisfaction. In this respect, quality is a yardstick by which customers make their purchasing decisions. Therefore, this benchmark also represents the performance of the manufacturer and thus its competitive situation. According to the […]

WTGs (wind turbines) convert the flow energy of the wind present in the rotor circuit into electrical energy. The efficiency is up to 50%. WTGs are manufactured in different sizes. The goal is not to achieve the maximum power but the optimum energy yield. This means that today a turbine must adapt to changing wind […]
Controlling
Regularly checking monthly utility billing data is a laborious and mindless, and therefore error-prone, procedure. A not inconsiderable proportion of energy bills contain errors, for whatever reason. Mistakes add up to costs. The control of the settlements and the finding of the errors including the related communication also causes costs. The alternative to this is […]
Monitoring
Energy monitoring describes the recording and analysis of all consumers and producers. This includes not only electricity and heat, but also water and energy-intensive media such as refrigeration, compressed air, water vapor, etc. In addition, further information such as room and outside temperature, operating hours, visitor frequency or capacity utilization, etc. must be recorded in […]
GLT
In order to understand complex processes in the company, including the conversion of energetic media and carriers, this data must be recorded with sensors on site and centrally visualized and evaluated. Time series of energy consumers and producers reveal deviations. Which transport and conversion losses occur where? In this way, causal research is possible. With […]

If the company has at least one property with multiple buildings, open space and building management is recommended. In a facility management system, not only technical equipment at the individual sites is recorded, but also maintenance and replacement cycles with inventory and reorders. Advanced computerized facility management systems can not only represent a permanent inventory […]
Sales tax
Companies entitled to deduct input tax can offset the VAT against the sales tax and thus make quasi net purchases. However, companies in the healthcare, finance, and municipal, church, and non-profit sectors are not entitled to deduct input tax, so they pay 19 percent more when purchasing. In the case of electricity, both the EEG […]
EEG levy
Through the so-called “special equalization scheme” according to the EEG Act §§ 63 ff., electricity-intensive companies can apply to the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control for a limitation of the EEG levy. To be eligible for the special compensation scheme, your company must: consume more than 1 GWh of electricity, an electricity cost […]
SME
So-called non-SMEs are companies that employ more than 250 full-time employees or have annual sales of more than EUR 50 million with total assets of more than EUR 43 million. In addition, the obligation also applies if a public entity manages more than 25% of the capital or if the company is not independent, i.e. […]
