Utilities MI – Shops

Insights in energy usage in shops give information where energy flows. Depending on market requests, we offer various standard hardware possibilities for energy measurement purposes on the market. Please feel free to contact us and ask for the possibilities in case you are looking for a custom-made solution for energy measurement purposes.

Power transformers are of great importance at any high voltage station. This transformer causes the electrical voltage to change in size, which in turn allows connections with varying power supply voltages. Power transformers are transformers connected to the high voltage grid, which have the ability to transform power of more than 10MVA. They are usually placed in a substation. Most of the time, there are three-phase transformers with an operating principle similar to the one of a regular transformer.

Power transformers can work on both sides, this all depends on what side the power is supplied to. For power transformers, the big advantage is the massively high efficiency. In the case of large power transformers, all electrical power that comes into it also comes out as electricity. It is a fact that efficiency increases with size; therefore large power transformers are also the most profitable.

At transformer stations, the electricity is transformed for either increasing or decreasing an alternating voltage. The energy generated in the power plant is transformed to a high voltage. At this high voltage, the energy goes through to the off-take points. There, the voltage is reduced again and led to transformer stations in, for example, residential areas.

Depending on the required specifications, we offer a number of standard transformers for protection, measurement and revenue purposes. Please feel free to contact us and ask for the possibilities in case you are looking for another solution for the transformation of energy.

A distribution station is provided with one or several transformers; it is a drive meant to convert medium voltage to low voltage. A distribution station is functional and essential for public energy supply services. The location cannot just be determined and has to meet predefined location criteria. They must also be easily accessible, with safe and efficient maintenance accessibility.

Today, we see an increase in their use; they are often included in buildings or underground objects. This puts less strain on public spaces and they have disappeared out of sight.

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

An electrical switching field, also called switch bay, in a high voltage station consists out of many high voltage components. At a switch station, electrical power changes direction. A high voltage station also consists out of several switch bays such as transformer bays, line bays, coupling bays and generator bays. A switch bay consists out of several high voltage connections: power switches, separators that keep components separate in order to work without voltage, earth grounding, current meters and voltage meters. The remaining equipment for monitoring, controlling and security is housed in field houses in the switchyard. To change directions transformers are needed.

Dutch municipalities gradually develop themselves to be greener. It is remarkable that over 65% of the municipalities are active in generating their own energy (solar, wind, water). There is a sense of sustainability and energy management; especially the larger municipalities (>100.000 residents) seem to be actively looking for the right structure for this. Setting up a policy is often not an obstacle to municipalities; the problem that often arises is the realisation of said policies and its organisation. To make this proces easier, we offer various standard hardware possibilities for energy management purposes in the market.

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.
