What are Smart Meters?

News_SmartMeters_01_250pxSmart Meters are the new generation of electricity and gas meters which will bring about the end of estimated bills and meter readings potentially offering reliable and accurate billing based on actual meter reads, which are collected remotely and removes the need for someone to read your meter manually. The meters measure energy consumption trends giving householders and businesses instant information of their usage, both historical and real-time, to allow more energy management; they also provide two-way communication, enabling meters to be easily updated.

 
 
Power Factor Correction

Building Owners & Operators - Reduce Your Running Costs And Emissions Through Power Factor Correction

Image_01_No_PFCWhat is Power Factor and Power Factor Correction?

  • Most commercial and industrial premises have inductive loads such as electric motors, fluorescent lighting, ventilation, refrigeration, air conditioning etc. They distort the power supply making it inefficient. 
  • Power factor is the measure of this inefficiency and is the difference between actual power (kW) and apparent power (kVA), which the equipment actually uses. 
  • Power factor correction works by improving the power factor bringing it closer to 1 (unity) therefore reducing apparent power (kVA).
