ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The Electrex monitoring and management solutions are used in the Energy Efficiency and Energy Automation applications, in the industrial, commercial, residential, public buildings and renewable energy systems (PV, Wind, Batteries, etc.) and allow a return on investment in a short time. They are the ideal solution for energy audits, continuous monitoring (e.g. ISO 50001) and for energy efficiency projects (e.g. EU Directive 2018/2002 and White Certificates or Energy Efficiency Certificates, Directive 2018/844 / EU – the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and LEED certification).

Electrex systems are modular and can expand over time thanks to the multiple connection possibilities of the devices: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, RS485, E-Wi, WM-Bus, ExpBus, NFC.

With a single system (with data synchronization) it is possible to monitor and manage all the energy vectors (electricity, gas, water, etc.), the environmental parameters related to them (temperature, humidity, luminosity, CO2, etc.) the process parameters  (compressed air, calories, level, status, etc.), and the operating times.

POWER QUALITY

Power quality is already one of the main concerns for electrical systems and PQ analyzers should be included by default in your panels / auditing services. From one side, we have today a higher equipment sensitivity and from the other side the same modern equipment is a source of PQ problems. As a result they fail more often.

Reliability and consistency of electricity supply is one of the most important conditions for the activities of industrial and service companies. Problems originating from poor Power Quality include interruptions, dips or harmonic pollution. Therefore the loads connected to a network with such problems will fail, have a short lifetime and the efficiency of the system will decrease.

Power Quality problems are a major source of:

• Unexpected Business Downtime
• Equipment Malfunction and Damage.

A Power quality monitoring solution sized according to your needs serves to identify them and intervene accordingly where the disturbance is located.

RENEWABLE SOURCES AND DIRECT CURRENT SYSTEMS

The growing role of DC systems will also drive the demand for monitoring and controlling solutions. In particular, Electrex sees opportunities for direct current measurement systems in electric vehicle charging stations, in power generation systems (renewables), data centers / server farms, microgrids and in peer-to-peer energy sharing.

AIR QUALITY

Our Sensing Solutions allow you to monitor key environmental parameters such as Particle / Particulate Material / Fine Dust (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4, PM10), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), CO2, temperature, humidity and differential air pressure with the ability to create notifications / alarms, control HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems and managing energy consumption in a sustainable way.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND PROCESS PARAMETERS

With a single system it is possible to monitor and manage all the environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, brightness, CO2, etc.) and the process parameters (compressed air, calories, level, status, etc.) which are always strictly correlated with energy consumption.

IOE – INTERNET OF ENERGY

With the acronym IoE (Internet of Energy) in Electrex we mean the application of the IoT to the world of energy and energy efficiency.

Electrex IoE is a digital platform through which it is possible to control and manage plants and buildings, which combines the aspects of Monitoring and Energy Automation, in which Electrex has been the market leader for years, with the possibility of interacting in real time with different devices using the possibilities offered by IoT systems.

ENERGY AUTOMATION

With Energy Automation in Electrex we mean the interconnection of machines and systems within company processes, with the aim of managing them better thanks to the Energy Automation functions.

In the Electrex devices of the Net series it is possible to implement these Energy Automation functions by ordering, if they are not already enabled, the Net upgrade activation codes (PUKs).  This upgrades the device with the “energy PLC” functionality, giving you the ability to provide specific solutions of energy automation to the Industrial, Commercial and Public Administration sectors.
