MONITORING CONSUMPTION

We at Proimsa Nova are specialists in the development of projects for consumption point or sub-meter monitoring. We are competent in gathering information from network analysers, metres, and other devices using a variety of methods, and we use energy management software to organise it using indicators.

The steps to take to create a monitoring system are as follow:

1. The setup for monitoring.

To begin with, it’s important to identify the supply and consumption locations that require monitoring. Carrying out a good planning of the architecture is the key to avoid developing an expensive project that is, subsequently, impossible to recuperate with the savings generated by monitoring of consumption and operating the systems.

2. Choice the monitoring technology

It is essential that you select the technology that will best enable the installation of the measurement and monitoring systems. In addition to establishing what needs to be monitored, it is important to specify the tools and systems that will be used to do it.

Choosing which sensors, such as temperature, humidity, or pressure sensors, among others, should be included in the system will also be important. They generally consist of devices that monitor the energy usage of a single piece of equipment or a group of related pieces of equipment.

Several solutions are available on the market, and our experts will choose the most suitable equipment, technology, and communication protocols at this stage owed to their extensive experience.

3. The decision on the price of control elements

Deciding how much you want to spend on energy monitoring is crucial. Our experts in sub-metering and monitoring of energy consumption will help you find out how much energy can be saved   and how much energy waste can be avoided through energy monitoring. This knowledge is the key to determine the complexity of the energy monitoring system.

4. Installation of sub-metering equipment

Finally we will develop the energy consumption monitoring project. The installation is carried out by qualified personnel, experts in sub-measurement of energy consumption and telecommunications, applying the chosen technology to energy management.
