The power consumed by your equipment depends on the hardware that is being used as well as the functionality of software. Our engineers are specialized in studying your environment and provide solutions to optimize the power usage. In most cases we can perform slight restructuring of the existing equipment and software so that they will consume less energy and save you money while extending the life-time of the equipment.

Power management in computer systems and server farms requires a good understanding of the electric power demands in the computer system when the computer system is running different applications. The central processing units (CPU) consume varying amounts of electric power when running different programs. The power demand represented by a disk drive depends on how many read and write operations that are needed. So the total power demand in a computer can vary significantly from one application to another.

Therefore, our power system design engineers for such a computer system gather and study information about the user profiles and analyses how the power demands vary depending on programs that are used in the computer/server. Using this information, the power supplies can be sized to meet the total power demands for all applications. Using a proper power supply unit also decreases the amount oh heat generated by the computer/server, thus reducing your cooling bills. This is an economic optimization which could save you thousands of dollars in energy savings while keeping a step forward towards being more Green.

Our engineers are well experienced in power-management aspects of computer/server systems and we have successfully performed power consumption optimization to many of our clients. Contact us for more information on how you could optimize the power consumption at your business entity.

Our utility engineers study how the electric loads flow from the generators to the users over transmission and distribution lines. The system has to operate stably under many different assumed fault or disturbance conditions. In the new deregulated environment, power plants can be connected or disconnected almost at will. Short circuit analysis is used to calculate the short circuit currents at all points of the electric system under different operating scenarios. This is used to determine the required short circuit rating of the equipment but also to set the protective relays used to detect faults and to initiate isolation of the faulted portion of the electric power system. The short circuit data is also used to determine that the coordination between different relays or fuses is proper so that only the minimum faulted area is removed from the system. Improper coordinating can lead to major outages with numerous undesirable consequences.

Commercial and industrial power systems require similar careful studies, although in these systems the emphasis is more on making sure that cables are adequate to serve the intended loads. Power quality is a major issue for industrial and commercial power users. Stand-by or emergency power sources might be required for safety reasons. Reliability studies and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) are often performed to identify weak spots in the power system so that costly disturbances of a processing plant or a business enterprise can be avoided.
