Energy audit
A company with high electricity costs must comply with EN 16427 or ISO 50001 in order to be partially exempt from the EEG surcharge. It also wants to manage its energy consumption more efficiently than before.
The best toolbox for the energy manager
With visual energy 5, the energy manager has a perfect toolbox with which he can fulfill all his requirements efficiently and effectively. It is possible to create or adapt all measuring points, evaluations and assessments at any time within a very short time and thus plausibly demonstrate potential savings.
Third-party quantity delimitation
Among other things, a company operates a photovoltaic system on its property for its own power supply. For its rented vending machines, which purchase electricity from the company, the company now has to correctly delimit the third-party quantities and needs the right measurement technology for this.
ID meters and the right measuring concept
KBR draws up a measurement concept in accordance with the auditor’s criteria and then installs the calibrated MID meters. By integrating this into visual energy 5, the required measurement and calibration law-compliant delimitation of own and third-party quantities is correctly implemented.
Backup monitoring in the data center
In a data center, the backups of the individual racks are to be monitored. If an overload is imminent, a warning message should be sent.
Defined limit values warn in good time
The currents in the racks are measured with a multisio D2-4CI. In addition, a multisio D2-4TI monitors the temperatures in the data center. A warning message is sent to the responsible employees at 80% of the fuse current rating. The racks and the room are visualized online via visual energy 5. A red diode then signals that the defined warning thresholds have been exceeded and the responsible employee is informed by e-mail.
Documentation of noise emissions
Due to complaints from local residents, the noise emissions of a company are to be recorded and documented.
Automatic recordings and messages
Sound level meters with analog outputs are installed outside the company. The outputs are connected to a multisio D2-4AI. With the help of visual energy 5, the noise emissions are saved as evidence. If the maximum level is exceeded, a responsible employee is now informed immediately by e-mail.
Recording the absolute operating hours
In future, the maintenance of machines and systems will no longer be based on a calendar, but on absolute operating hours.
Precise signal acquisition
Message from the machine and system control during operation. The signals are registered via a multisio D2-4DI. The evaluation and notification for maintenance is then carried out via visual energy.
