SAVING ENERGY AND MONEY


EnergyAce has been manufacturing energy savings solutions since 2002 and works mainly with partners to deliver PFC, voltage management and remote metering systems in the UK. One such partner is Dave Purves of


SELECT Member business WP Purves Electrical Ltd, based in Coldstream, Berwickshire. Dave has been delivering Energy


Ace to agricultural, commercial and industrial clients to save energy, reduce demand and reduce CO2 liability. He toldCABLEtalk: “I first got involved


with PFC about four years ago through an agricultural customer who wanted to do something about his huge energy bills. He’d read about PFC and contacted Energy Ace, who then approached us to carry out the installation. “It was fairly straightforward project


A combined approach introduces the best of both technologies to reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions, capacity and availability charges, remove reactive power penalties, improve supply utility and protect electrical equipment from high voltage levels. The first stage of any energy reduction scheme is to gather accurate information and data on existing energy consumption and efficiency. Combining this with remote metering and monitoring enables users to monitor energy consumption and target reductions – a fundamental step when targeting energy reduction, irrespective of business size or sector.


– the only thing you have to be aware of at first is sizing the correct protective device, but after that it’s just a case of choosing a mains switch fuse or an MCCB, and then connecting it in parallel into the system. It really is that simple. “Since that first job, we’ve gone on to

do about 25 similar installations, so it’s given us a steady amount of work. “We work in the commercial,


agricultural and industrial sector, so there are lots of people who have an issue with using a lot of power and want to do everything they can to counteract it. In most places, PFC can provide a significant reduction, although you do need to be using quite a bit of load in the first place to see a difference. But for those who are, it’s very effective. “For example, on that first job we put an amp meter on the incoming tails when it was switched off and when we switched it on the difference was incredible – the customer went on to cut his bills by a third. “It also seems to work well with


renewables, because you’re able to feed more back into the grid by maximising what you’re producing. And if you combine it with voltage optimisation, it makes an even bigger difference. “It’s definitely something that’s


worth investigating if your customers are heavy users – I’ve been very impressed.”


EnergyAce can advise on every aspect of PFC, helping organisations identify energy wastage and make


better, more informed decisions. For more information, contact EnergyAce on 01695 559 785, email post@energyace. co.uk or visit www.energyace.co.uk
