The revised Energy Efficiency Directive The revised Energy Efficiency Directive, including the new binding target, entered into force in all EU countries on 10 October 2023. It establishes ‘energy efficiency first’ as a fundamental principle of EU energy policy. In practical terms, this means that energy efficiency must be [...]
Energy Saving Technology Seminar 📢 We are excited to announce that Electrex will be presenting the energy management solutions at the Energy Saving Technology Seminar, hosted by our local partner ATC Automation at the Digital Manufacturing Ireland facility in 📍 Limerick, Ireland. 📅 The seminar will be taking place [...]
End-use Electrification Electrification means replacing technologies or processes that use fossil fuels, like internal combustion engines and gas boilers, with electrically-powered equivalents, such as electric vehicles or heat pumps. This shift is driven by the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and promote the use of [...]
INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE COMPLEX ONES The effects of Power Quality on LED lighting performance generally receive little attention prior to installation. Power quality issues such as dips, harmonics, interruptions, can result in expensive, early replacement of damaged or failed LED lighting equipment. As a result end-users are forced [...]
Continuous measurement and monitoring of reactive power are necessary to determine the correct compensation system and to monitor it to ensure that it is providing the required level of compensation. This helps to reduce energy costs, maintain power quality, and improve the efficiency of electrical systems. What is reactive [...]
Energy audits and energy management are important elements of any energy efficiency strategy. They allow companies to identify their energy-saving potential and hence to reduce their energy consumption significantly. In the EU, for example, Energy Audits are mandatory for large companies, but even small to medium-sized enterprises (SME) can [...]
How are businesses dealing with the energy crisis? The general feeling, in the first months of the energy crisis, was that the cost increase would dissolve in a short time. Instead, it did not happen. Ongoing high prices had an impact on the evaluation of strategic actions that include [...]
What is Energy Sobriety? Energy Sobriety means reducing our energy consumption by changing our consumption styles, uses and behavior. There are multiple types of sobriety: Sobriety of use, which consists in reducing the duration, use or frequency of use of energy-consuming equipment. Sobriety of substitution, i.e., replacing an appliance [...]
