PRNewswire/ Pacific Controls Systems LLC, the leadingglobal automation Company, has announced the launch of a range of Smart Energy Meters. Withthe
Pacific Controls smart metering technology, Home & Building owners will be able to monitor howmuch energy individual devices use. The newly launched
device range is part of Pacific Control'sofferings in its Green Home, Green Building Automation and Smart Grid segments of themarket.
Commenting on the launch of Smart Energy Meters, Mr. Dilip Rahulan, Chairman and CEO, PacificControls Systems LLC, said: We are committed to delivering cost effective energy services productsand solutions lobally, "Our range of Smart Energy Meters will help users to optimize their energyusage while minimizing wastage and, importantly, reducing consumption levels. Our energy managementtools will help Home & Building owners to create energy management profiles that are triggered bycertain established consumption rates. As energy consumption exceeds a specific point, the system can automatically begin turning off low priority lighting, heating and cooling zones.Pacific Controls' real time energy usage indices will help consumers to understand their habits andhelp become more efficient with their energy consumption needs." He added: "Technologyfor sustainable development defines Pacific Controls' core business, people and the way in which wework with customers and communities. Over the last two years we have delivered new energy servicesproducts and solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, various energy efficient projects andnumerous retrofit programmes dedicated to reducing energy consumption in the UAE and otherlocations around the world."
According to the Electric Power Research Institute, atleast 27 devices are continuously switched on in a typical Home or Building. It means that evenwhen you are adjusting your air- conditioner to save energy and getting rid of all our incandescentlight bulbs, watching the new LCD TV might just wipe out all that effort.
PacificControls energy monitoring and targeting software is the most advanced fully browser basedsolution. It provides comprehensive and intuitive analysis for organizations of any size, acrossany industry sector.
It automatically turns energy data into information, measures theCarbon Footprint and validates Carbon Financial Instruments of the asset. It also provides earlywarnings on energy consumption data to manage energy usage to assist owners to manage energy usagewithin the desired thresholds, This addresses the slab tariff system and assist in ensuring thatasset owners can manage measure and verify their energy consumption. These services are currentlyoffered by Pacific Controls to customers globally from the Energy services global command controlcentre established at their HQ Building in
Techno Park Dubai.
Pacific Controls' SmartEnergy Meters offers technology that integrates multiple systems into a single open platform. Theproduct range that are introduced are the B2000 series - a three phase multifunction energy meter;C1000 series - single phase multifunctional energy meter; the GPRS/GSM based energy dataconcentrator; the single phase 8 channel power line carrier energy meter; and the three phase fourwire power line carrier energy meter.
Pacific Controls is an icon of sustainability inthe Middle East. The first Platinum rated Green Building certified by US Green BuildingCouncil LEEDS program, is a sustainable, high performance building having significantly reducedthe impact on Earth's resources compared to conventional building.
Pacific Controls isproviding global leadership in revolutionizing the way facilities and assets are managed throughits internal programs and efforts on behalf of its customers, Pacific Controls is considered as oneof the largest energy efficiency service provider in the Middle East.
Among its leadingunique services, Pacific Controls offers 24x 7 Remote Monitoring, Energy Management, ContinuousBuilding Commissioning, and Facilities Monitoring and Management services. Pacific Controlsservices are designed to lower building operating costs by monitoring andcontrolling energy-intensive systems, such as HVAC and lighting, which can be measured for optimumperformance and predictive maintenance needs, reducing both energy usage and operating expense,using Pacific Controls software and hardware.
Pacific Controls not only has products andservices for the whole range of control engineering but also offers the complete integration withthe advantages of global networking capabilities. The company produces its own wired and wirelesscontrollers and open software solutions supporting multiple protocols for communication betweenvarious devices connected to different networks. The hardware business, referred as connectivityproducts, includes specific remote products, gateway products, and meter reading products.
These products and solutions are designed to be part of the "Smart Grid" which is currentlybeing deployed in Europe and North America Our gateway products provide an openarchitecture for inclusion of sensors, actuators, smart meters and other devices, regardlessof manufacturer and changes in technology. This is a key requirement for the Smart Gridimplementation.
The gateway software application layer is the Local Energy Application(LEA), which is capable of interfacing to meters and other facility monitoring devices. The LocalEnergy Application is capable of providing a stand-alone energy monitoring system with real-timedata capture, alarms, and historical data capture.
An enterprise software applicationdesigned and hosted by Pacific Controls at their Global Command Control Centre (GCCC) is utilizedto collect data from multiple sites where the LEA is utilized to collect information at the localfacility. The GCCC is utilized to collect data into one central location for the purpose ofin-depth energy analysis and comparison.
