S E R I E S 61000 SYSTEM AnswerModule® Energy Usage and Expense Reporting Spend less time tracking Monitor and Track Energy Use and Cost Increasingly, electricity is being bought and sold as a commodity in today’s markets. To keep up with consumption this trend, facility managers and other technical personnel need to keep track not only of how much energy is being used, but when energy is being consumed. With many commodity markets offering peak/off-peak energy pricing and other time-sensitive programs, paying greater attention to usage and cost and patterns has become critical to keeping energy costs low. In addition, the increased use of submetering has created a need for a platform to monitor and manage a number of data collection locations. more time The Encore® Series System is widely recognized as the premier platform for power monitoring and actually management and with the Energy Usage AnswerModule®, you can use the Encore® Series Software to track and manage your energy consumption and costs. managing it The Energy Usage AnswerModule provides three reporting options for monitoring energy usage and expense. All the reports calculate energy usage for both kWHr and kVARHr, demand in kW, and include an expense summary section. • Aggregated Energy Expense – usage and cost for all DataNodes® or monitoring instruments for a given time period; • Energy Expense – energy use for a particular DataNode for a specific time period compared to rate structure; • Energy Usage Comparison – energy use for a specific monitoring location for various time periods against a specified reference period. All three reports allow you to view peak and off-peak energy consumption, enabling you to track usage patterns against scheduled rates. This approach helps you optimize energy usage and take advantage of off-peak rate incentive programs saving you money. The built-in flexibility of the Encore® Series Software allows various points to be simultaneously monitored in your facility or on your process line, tracking total costs as well as costs for a particular piece of equipment or activity. S E R I E S 61000 SYSTEM Easy to use & simultaneously accessible by multiple users, reports can be generated using any computer equipped with a web browser Specifications for Energy Usage AnswerModule Operating environment: Applications: Installed in any InfoNode. Creates reports showing total energy usage, energy or Encore® Series Software. usage compared against total, and energy usage for specified time intervals. Input data: Accepts energy usage and demand data from any DataNode®. User must input rate structures and peak/off-peak Algorithms: consumption and demand parameters. Algorithms for usage comparison with rate, time, peak, penalty, and tax.
