Automation of electrical loads is possible through the use of intelligent monitoring systems and metering which can be built around the applications need to be controlled.

Automation of loads can be controlled through simple digital outs or relays controlled by programmable energy and power quality metering. Multiple units can be configured as both master and slave to control a variety of systems and processes. Control and programming can be made directly at the metering point or for additional integration into existing systems the energy and power sub-metering can be used to automate the load management through server or cloud based software. Standard control protocols used by metering enable the switching of loading on or off through Ethernet, GSM or Wi-Fi communications. This remote control capability allows for smaller sites and installations to be integrated into wider networks and applications.

Energy automation can be combined with our electrical energy management systems to allow for the optimisation of power and improve energy efficiency. Smart control systems can be installed to ensure that loading is switch off when capacity is close to being exceeded and switch back on when power becomes available. This control of energy and loading when implemented with an electrical energy management system (EEMS) can help with resource management and support the long term energy strategy of a business.
