The Push Toward Electrical Energy Conservation : Eco Articles

You may know that I am non stop on the
move for informative stuff on
Alternative Energy Sources. Today, I
discovered a really
fun article that talks over Eco Energy Sources from a new
angle. Today’s amazing post is titled The Push Toward Electrical Energy Conservation .

Article by Daniel Stouffer

There are several ways of looking at electrical energy conservation, whether you are reactive, proactive, systematic or rely on projects. In the retail environment, electricity is a significant part of your energy commitments. Conserving may not be a new idea, as we can remember those energy crises of the 1970s and how difficult times were then, but today sustainability has a new look. Every business executive should understand smart energy management and be willing to look at every possible initiative to help save costs.

Our electrical distribution networks are far from efficient, even though we haven’t seen any rolling blackouts or disruptions of any significance for some time. We should be wary of the integrity of the grid though. It was thought that deregulation, separating generation from distribution, would be the golden ticket, but this has not proved to be the case. A limited approach to investment has not helped the situation, either.

As utility companies become more sophisticated and the market continue to move toward a “smart” grid, opportunities for electrical energy conservation at the business level can help to generate real savings and possibly income streams. Increasingly organizations are being encouraged by utilities to take part in demand response programs. The smartest organizations interpret their own needs and gain access to lower tariff programs when available.

Electrical energy conservation needs to be proactively addressed. Information is power and yet most companies do not realize how the value they could derive from proactively gathering actionable data.

Smart energy management helps organizations pursue sustainability goals and reduce costly monthly energy bills. Electrical energy conservation should be integrated into corporate planning because of the economic and social impact reduction could have.

When every piece of equipment is fully understood and its operations benchmarked, data can be gathered and applied in a number of different potential projections, parameters and events. Analyzed data can help to predict energy spikes and the result of this is truly smart energy management. This leads us to develop a path toward ultimate efficiency if possible and significant potential savings in terms of smart grid manipulation.

For many companies, electrical energy conservation plans point initially to retrofit or replacement projects. Many motors, racks, and HVAC systems can be upgraded to newer and more efficient models, which consume less energy. However, many business executives do not realize that it is possible to monitor and manage their equipment in real time, in order to pinpoint and help eliminate wastage and even predict unit failure. If organizations monitor real-time equipment consumption, they can replace assets when they reach a certain limit instead of guessing which pieces of equipment should be retired.

Energy costs are increasing and supply chains are becoming more sophisticated, It only make sense to initiate systems and software solutions that are directed toward electrical energy conservation.

Enterprise energy management solutions provide distributed enterprises with a comprehensive view of their entire energy portfolio across all facilities, with data that can be linked to specific assets at each facility and delivered to energy managers anywhere in the world.
