Energy monitoring - easier than ever
Through a suitable energy monitoring software you monitor your energy consumption:
When operation is at rest, unnoticed standby loads can best be identified by measuring them at the transfer meter and reduced by shutdowns and a suitable countermeasure.
With the help of high-resolution data (15-second intervals), such power curves can be precisely analyzed and insights into load management can be derived.
Transformers are often operated inefficiently, resulting in energy losses during voltage conversion.
High-frequency measurements of the currents in the company network can reduce the pollution of the network by harmful harmonics.
By comparing historical data with measured data, anomalies can be uncovered to predict the failure of a machine or plant in time.
They do not save money on their own, but serve as a starting point for the optimization of an energy system and create the objectification and visualization of energy targets.

Energy management for medium-sized industry
In Germany, industrial and commercial enterprises account for a good 40% of the country’s total energy consumption. More than 90% of the manufacturing companies in Germany make up the industrial Mittelstand. It is therefore obvious that energy management is important in industrial SMEs and is also becoming increasingly important. The following potential savings can be realized through holistic energy management:
The following analysis functions should be available in an energy management system:
A holistic measurement concept serves as the foundation for effective energy management.
Why do you need a holistic measurement concept?
On average, 8% of energy costs can be saved through an energy management system
Practical experience shows that energy saving potentials are dormant in most manufacturing companies and can be realized most reliably with the help of continuous measurement of electrotechnical parameters. The continuous collection of high-resolution energy data thus represents the essential foundation for potential savings.
The energy management system visualizes energy consumption and flows in a very clear, easy-to-understand way, and the evaluation options help to understand and analyze the data.
The data points of all measuring devices can be recorded and evaluated with only one system – independent of the manufacturer. The installation takes only a few minutes and the data is in the software on the same day.
Conclusion
Energy monitoring is therefore in many cases a good introduction to the complex matter of energy optimization.
A payback period of 5 years means that after 5 years at the latest, free liquidity is available for further energy efficiency projects, if the internal focus is on operating and accounting for these investments.
Alternatively, outsourcing this, as well as all other energy efficiency issues, to an operator that finances, designs, builds, operates and continuously optimizes itself is the preferred option if you want to focus on your core competencies and ongoing energy use.
We always consider operational energy efficiency in the context of the economic benefits, such as relieved networks, and the climate policy goals, since every kilowatt hour saved also reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
