An Online Energy Management System (OEMS) is a software-based solution that allows users to monitor, manage and optimize energy consumption and efficiency across a range of applications, from commercial and industrial facilities to residential buildings.
The OEMS is a cloud-based platform that collects data from various sources, such as smart meters, sensors, and building automation systems, and provides real-time analytics and insights into energy usage.
A power quality project involves the study and analysis of the characteristics of electric power in a given system, such as voltage, current, frequency, and waveform. The goal of such a project is to identify and mitigate issues related to power quality, such as voltage sags, harmonic distortion, and power factor correction. This may involve the installation of equipment such as surge suppressors, voltage regulators, and power filters, as well as the implementation of protocols and procedures for power management and monitoring.
A harmonics filter is an electrical device used to mitigate the effects of harmonic distortion in electrical systems caused by non-linear loads. It works by providing a low-impedance path for harmonic currents to flow, reducing their effect on the electrical system. Harmonics filters can be passive or active and can be installed at various points in the electrical system, improving power quality and efficiency while minimizing the risk of equipment damage and downtime.
An active harmonic filter (AHF) is a type of filter that uses active components to reduce harmonic distortion in electrical systems caused by non-linear loads. It injects a corrective current into the system to cancel out harmonic currents, improving power quality and reducing the risk of equipment damage and downtime. AHFs can be installed at various points in the electrical system.
A home smart meter is an advanced electrical meter that measures energy consumption in real-time, allowing for better energy management. It can communicate with the utility company for accurate billing and enable demand-response programs. Some models also allow for remote monitoring and control of other home devices.
