Energy management systems

ELEQ designs and manufactures solutions for measuring, protecting, and connecting electrical energy. Decentralized generation, technological advances, and the search for sustainable energy mean that measurement and protection will become increasingly important. ISO 50001 contains clear guidelines on achieving structural energy savings.

Government regulations also have a strong influence on responsible use of energy. As of December 2015, large companies (>250 employees or >EUR 50 million turnover) in the Netherlands will be required to conduct an energy audit every four years in order to reach the European goal of a 20% energy reduction by 2020. Large companies in Germany with an effective energy management system will see a portion of their energy tax returned. These measures ensure that more and more of these management systems are put into place.

Because this often takes place in existing situations and the space is often limited, ELEQ has launched a new energy management product line consisting of a number of smart solutions for connecting and measuring electricity using split-core current transformers and sensors, really small current transformers, or a combination of current and voltage. ELEQ has also developed and launched a whole line of fused voltage taps.

In order to stay up to date on the possibilities and challenges involved in setting up a good and safe energy measurement, we have various energy management systems actively running at our branches. This has a number of benefits:

1)      We can measure our own usage and manage accordingly

2)      We can test our own products for usability, ease of installation, and quality

3)      We can fine-tune our product development to better suit the market

These systems will be used to properly respond to innovations and developments in the future.
