Utilities – Hospital

Energy savings could especially be realised in the fields of lighting, ventilation and humidification. The survey shows that some hospitals could earn about half a million euros a year by saving energy. Hospitals in different locations deal with their energy usage and its management in different ways. There are hospitals whose facilities are switched on 24/7 and where the temperature is not properly adjusted. For example, a policlinic or surgery does not have to be heated or ventilated constantly. Another common issue is that in many hospitals, just one main meter is installed. When there are no additional meters installed in the building, there is no oversight on energy fluxes in the rest of the building. To get more insights into energy usage we developed split-core current transformers, small IEC transformers to mount on a three phase circuit breaker and our easy voltage taps, mountable in retrofit installations.

Office buildings are the users that account for approximately half of the global energy consumption and its associated CO2 emission. Real estate owners of offices with a high-energy consumption must strive to make their properties more sustainable and therefore more economical. The investment in energy management systems ultimately pays off by saving on energy costs. Meters can be installed in a building; these could continuously measure the usage and pass this information on to the building management system. To mount those meters we developed split-core current transformers, small IEC transformers to mount on a three phase circuit breaker and our easy voltage taps. 

Retail shops often use more energy than necessary due to other priorities. When meters will be installed in shops, continuously measurement of the usage is easily possible. Also to pass this information on to the building management system. To install those meters we developed split-core current transformers, smallest IEC transformers to mount on a three phase circuit breaker and our easy voltage taps. 

For municipalities that have invested in energy-saving projects, it is very important to visualise the energy consumption. In order to realise their energy-neutral future, municipalities wish to save energy and generate sustainable energy. They attempt to do so with their partners: the residents, businesses, housing corporations and local energy companies.

This is achieved by launching energy saving projects aimed at energy conservation and generating local sustainable energy and delivering it directly to the residents. The sustainability ambition of municipalities consists out of an energy target and a CO2 target. Not only is this beneficial for the environment, it can also lead to a decrease in housing taxes. To get more insights the energy usage should be measured.

Hospitals have wide varieties of installed equipment. A hospital also wants to have insight in the abilities and qualities of the installation. Each individual device has a certain effect on the energy flux that runs through the installation. Regularly scheduled energy measurement maps where any possible problems could occur in the installation, or where energy could be saved, and finally which saving options are available.

Due to the price increases of water and energy, as well as new environmental regulations, buildings are required to handle the consumption of these products more effectively. Consumption savings can be achieved by controlling, monitoring and measuring both liquid and thermal energy fluxes.

One must know how energy efficient an office building is before any energy savings are possible. It is essential to first detect any kind of wastage based on actual energy usage, which is measured on the main meters. Possible energy waste must be found and traced back. Measurements must be taken in case more energy is used than strictly necessary. Inefficiencies in practical energy use (the operational side) must be detected. With this information, you can then take the right energy-savins. To measure the energy our analog measurement instruments and transformers can be installed.

Depending on market requests, we offer various standard hardware possibilities for energy measurement purposes on the market.

The rotational movement of, for example, a windmill axis, is called mechanical energy. To convert this mechanical energy to electrical direct current, a generation is required. This transformation process in the generator is based on induction; this is a phenomenon that generates an electrical voltage when a conductor is situated in a changing magnetic field. A generator is often compared to a dynamo. A generator containing transformers can increase the voltage of the current, and thus the current can be transported over long distances with minimal loss.

Depending on the required specifications, we offer a number of standard transformers for protection, measurement and revenue purposes of generated energy.

Anyone owing an electric car, motor or scooter can charge his vehicle at a charging point. Charging stations are located on strategical points, such as parking areas and parking garages, but more and more electric cars are now charged at home as well.

Depending on the charging speed of the charging point, the charging station will need a certain voltage supply and consequently needs to be protected by means of an certain amperage. Our standard connection boxes for charging stations are suitable for 400V, 50Hz and are secured up to 25A maximum.

The possibilities for outdoor advertising in public areas is increasing. Thanks to the versatile application possibilities of billboards, information of the advertising world but also information of (tourist) organisations, towns and municipalities can be displayed along access roads, shipping routes or in the town centre. In order to have the various information scrolled automatically on the board, a power supply is mandatory. On top of this, also bus shelters are used more and more for outdoor advertising purposes. Apart from scrolling information, there is often a power supply needed to light the objects.

Depending on the object and the requests, we offer a number of standard possibilities for connecting and if requested also for metering objects.

As society has an increasing influence on how to fill in public areas and hence also as for the security topics, a growing number of camera systems are installed in outdoor areas. This implies that one or more cameras are mounted on a pole or onto an outdoor wall. These camera systems need a power supply to record visual images and store them. Besides, it is often possible to view these images live or to reproduce them later on.

Depending on the number of cameras and the requests, we offer a number of standard possibilities for connecting and if requested also for metering the camera systems.
