EPower – Electricity Generation Client Energy Management

Solution

• EPower controller installed on heat treatment furnace
• Using Predictive Load Management to regulate power input
• The client’s French sales force (60 engineers) will advise all customers that the Eurotherm EPower Controller is now their Fully Endorsed Preferred Solution

Customer Benefits

• EPower meets industrial demands for energy efficiency and can reduce energy bills by 9%
• Through sophisticated sharing and shedding techniques, the EPower controller’s PLM capability reduced facility-wide energy costs by providing more efficient distribution across a variety of loads and conditions.
• By preventing overshoot of nominal power, EPower enables them to stay within their contract limits. Additionally, the customer is avoiding tariffs being imposed if stringent government emissions tolerance requirements are not met consistently. The solution enables accurate record keeping that provides proof of the provider’s compliance.
• The EPower controller’s ability to continually and accurately predict, monitor and adjust to demand is creating more efficient energy production and distribution for the customer.
• Company executives estimate that the solution will reduce energy costs by improving overall process efficiency by as much as 10%. And because no electrical parts were ever exposed, the configuration also offered a secondary safety benefit, especially to untrained personnel.   

A Fusion of 50 years of technological development

• Simple thyristor load control matures to sophisticated EPower™ energy controller
• Reduces end user cost of energy with zero quality penalty
• Multi EPower systems provide reductions in CO2 emissions
