Wireless sensors transmit information every 10 seconds through a state-of-the-art communications bridge. The data is aggregated by a machine-learning analytics engine. This advanced intelligence system analyzes the data to deliver sophisticated reports and statistical analyses on detailed energy and operational consumption. Finally, the systems deliver realtime alerts, automated reports, and ongoing visibility into all devices and systems.

With more than 25 years’ experience across the building industry, we noticed many businesses were struggling with the growing costs of energy bills but didn’t know what to do or how to fix it.

Having spent almost 10 years running environmental building and energy saving training sessions to trade personnel and being at the cutting edge of the latest technologies, we discovered a quantum leap in energy monitoring technology which determined our resolve to deal with business directly.

Panoramic Power’s clip on, clip off patented wireless sensor technology, coupled with cloud-based analytics, provides powerful insights for optimising energy management.

Documented results show how clients have reduced their operational costs and increased energy efficiency making them both sustainable and cost effective.

Demand

Many people are confused by Demand charges. To explain, your energy provider must be able to guarantee to cover the amount of electricity required at any particular time by its clients even though that may only occur at certain times (Peak loads). Therefore each business is charged for their use plus the Demand charge which is calculated from the maximum energy measured in any 30 minute period by the Utility meter within each billing period.

Our ‘DemandWatch’ Load Shedding technology can ensure reduced demand at peak times. By determining a set-point DemandWatch will forecast and compare energy consumption against the controller pre-set point by continually analyzing data each 3 minute interval throughout a 30 minute billing period.

DemandWatch will automatically determine the load shed level and initiate the on off commands through the transmitter ensuring energy consumed in each billing period does not exceed the predetermined maximum set point for HVAC and refrigeration loads. The DemandWatch set point can be changed through operator interface software at any time. This allows different levels to be set to follow the annual seasons.
