Instead, it did not happen. Ongoing high prices had an impact on the evaluation of strategic actions that include long-term cost and benefit analysis.  In […]

Energy audits and energy management are important elements of any energy efficiency strategy. They allow companies to identify their energy-saving potential and hence to reduce their energy consumption significantly. In the EU, for example, Energy Audits are mandatory for large companies, but even small to medium-sized enterprises (SME) can benefit. While the Energy Management System

What is reactive energy? Reactive energy, also known as reactive power, is a type of electrical energy that is used to maintain the electromagnetic fields in alternating current (AC) circuits. It is called reactive energy because it does not perform useful work directly, but it is necessary for the operation of many electrical devices, such

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE COMPLEX ONES The effects of Power Quality on LED lighting performance generally receive little attention prior to installation.  Power quality issues such as dips, harmonics, interruptions, can result in expensive, early replacement of damaged or failed LED lighting equipment. As a result, end-users are forced to absorb:  increased Installation costs: over-dimensioning of

Electrification means replacing technologies or processes that use fossil fuels, like internal combustion engines and gas boilers, with electrically-powered equivalents, such as electric vehicles or heat pumps. This shift is driven by the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and promote the use of renewable energy sources.  But agreeing on the details
