No surprises when it comes to energy costs

Top performance can be expensive

The Peak power that an electricity consumer (industrial, commercial or hotel business) Business) draws from its energy supply company (EVU) is the maximum power drawn. This is normally measured and averaged over a quarter of an hour, billed.

If the ordered, purchased energy is exceeded over a period of 15 min the power tariff is applied. This is charged throughout Switzerland in different ways throughout Switzerland, but they all have one thing in common:

Industrial and commercial enterprises must
pay very dearly for these

Important: Be sure to control consumption

Inert energy consumers such as stoves, Boilers, boilers, roasters, ventilation and air conditioning systems, washing machines and tumble dryers, saunas Tumble dryers, saunas and NEW also electric charging stations and thus entire e-mobility infrastructures Entire e-mobility infrastructures can be specifically controlled by intervening with a Load optimization controller or switched off or reduced at short notice reduced at short notice.

The energy bill provides information about the behavior of electricity consumption

Performance optimization systems are not very popular with the users directly affected. They "only" see the restrictions, as their device is switched off/reduced for a short time or their work process is extended. This is no longer the case today, as evidenced by the many systems in use. Intelligent kitchen appliances, for example, already have a connection for a peak load measuring device. This means that an appliance can be timed or the heating circuit can be intervened in directly. As a result, the built-in heaters do not cool down deeply and the user does not even notice the optimization.

What do customers need to consider?

Load optimization list

It is important to plan ahead. It should be clarified in advance with the electrical planner or company which loads are to be connected to the system. Proper preparation also requires a load optimization list of the loads with the corresponding optimization times,

Which devices can be used?

There are many load optimization computers. Care should be taken to ensure that the system solution has a modular structure. For example, the peak load controller is often located in the main panel of the electrical distribution board, while the switchable modules are in the sub-distribution boards. The devices can be connected using a modern bus system or via the customer network. Installation costs are minimized, which saves a lot of money. Over the years, the devices have become better and better and cheaper, but the installation costs have become higher and higher. This is a not insignificant point.

It should also be noted that the controllers also meet the new requirements of PV energy recovery, i.e. for solar systems, and e-mobility. Particularly in garages with several charging stations, the supply line from the energy supply company is often not sufficient to operate the house and vehicle at the same time. This makes a dynamic energy charging management system all the more important. If there is already an optimization system in the house, this should definitely be connected to the same system.

Cost savings	Experience has shown that a well-adjusted optimization system can reduce energy performance costs by an average of 25%. Of course, more is always possible, but the company must be willing to accept this. Then the optimization system can be optimized even more precisely.
