Angus Robertson, CEO, powerPerfector
Our technology is redefining electricity supply by optimising your power at source for the first time. Most energy efficiency strategies rightly focus on reducing your demand for energy at the point of consumption. We call this ‘demand optimisation’, and it involves reducing your electrical load by adding drives, controllers and timers to existing equipment, or by replacing older assets with newer, more efficient models.
powerPerfector is fundamentally different. It works on the principle that your electricity supply is a compromise: your supplier can only guarantee to provide your site with a voltage that is within a broad range, not the optimum voltage for your equipment. So every site has a margin of inefficiency that can be removed by correcting the supply at source. That means that with a single installation on your supply powerPerfector can achieve energy savings that could only be delivered after months of adjustment, along with significant investment and disruption, on the demand side.
That’s not to say that demand optimisation is not important – for us to win the battle against climate change it’s critical that we look for any way we can to reduce our need for energy. The beauty of powerPerfector, though, is that it will deliver a large (10% - 20%) saving through a single installation when it is needed most - right now. It will do this without compromising your site but by improving the way it runs, and without ruling out further efficiency improvements in future.
This couldn’t be done with a conventional technology. The source of your electricity supply is the most critical part of your building’s infrastructure. A technology fitted at that point must be purpose-built and absolutely reliable. We are aware that some companies are now selling conventional transformers or autotransformers as ‘voltage or power optimisers’, and installing them on the mains supply to a building. These technologies have been around for many decades, so why were they not installed in that space before? The reason is this: they were never designed as energy saving technologies; they need alarm sensors or maintenance to mitigate against the risk of their failure. British Energy selected powerPerfector because it is the only technology that is proven to increase supply security - not diminish it. Tesco, 3M, the University of Cambridge, indeed all our customers are professionals and they researched the market before choosing a best practice technology.
powerPerfector is introducing Voltage Power Optimisation to the UK market - a technology that has a 100% reliability record along with guaranteed performance. If you are offered an alternative cheaper technology that has moving parts, or integrated thermal sensors to warn you of overheating or that may automatically cut off your supply, beware. powerPerfector are the experts in Voltage Power Optimisation - make sure you are speaking to us.
