Taking control
June 1st 2010 By scheduling charging to avoid costly
spikes in electricity demands and
ensuring the correct rotation of
batteries, PowerNet, the new software
system from EnerSys, provides
control and significant savings in lead
acid battery fleet management.
Management reports can be accessed
remotely via a LAN or internet
connection.
PowerNet software runs on a
standard PC and automatically
switches chargers on and off at the
best time to maintain electricity
consumption within desired para-
meters. Spikes in electricity use can be
costly so different power thresholds,
set for certain times, take advantage of
off-peak electricity rates and reduce
consumption during peak rate.
PowerNet is compatible with up to
10 battery families and 500+ chargers. More articles from Enersys Ltd: |
