Power Presentation West Palm
- 1. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY RESOURCES PRESENTS THE IER ENERGY SAVER (ES)! Protecting, Preserving & Improving the Environment International Energy Resources
- 2. The Need for the IER (ES) •In the 21st century “Going Green” has become a corporate responsibility •With the rising cost of doing business, Energy Efficiency is a must •Help meet the social requirements of “Being Green” and reap the financial savings
- 3. The Problem • Electric Motors use more than half of all electricity • Electricity Costs: – 1960’s .019/kwh – 1970’s energy crisis .044/kwh – 2008 .10+ /kwh • Most A/C Induction motors operate at 80% efficiency • NASA research proved that substantial savings could be made on the running costs of A/C Induction motors
- 5. The Power Supply Dilemma • The adequacy of North America’s Electricity system will decline unless changes are made soon… …demand for electricity is expected to increase over the next ten years by 20% in the U.S., but confirmed power capacity will increase by only 10% -NERC (North American Electric Reliability Council) “Over $16 billion dollars of electricity is unusable energy, but billable in the US.” - U.S. Dept. of Energy
- 6. 20% increase in demand with 10% increase in supply
- 7. How the Utility Company & the Environment Benefit • Enhancement of the capacity of the existing electrical systems • Power supplied to more customers without the generation or acquisition of additional power plants. • Less fossil fuel being used to generate power • Less dependency on foreign oil
- 10. The Unique Energy Savings with the IER (ES) • The Patented diagnostic device & methodology determines to an exact science how much capacitance is required to bring each inductive load to unity • Optimizing is precisely accomplished on each inductive load in minutes • The pre-engineered customized systems are assembled from modular components based on sizing results • Installation is fast and simple • Power savings are immediate and can be up to 25% • Realize a rapid return on investment (often 24 months or less)
- 11. IER (ES) • Innovative, unique & Patented * • U.S. Manufactured • NASA Tested and used • U.S. Government certified • UL Listed CSA Approved • Cleaner & Greener / RoHS Certified • Reduces the amount of non-productive current in your existing electrical system, resulting in a significant reduction in power consumption costs • Thousands of installations worldwide • 5 year warranty / 12 year on Residential *Methodology & Apparatus
- 13. How does the IER Energy Saver (ES) work? • The IER (ES) stores the reactive power to create the electromagnetic field (EMF) around the inductive windings of a motor • As motors operate, reactive power is “pushed” and “pulled” to and from the (ES) by the motor at 60 cycles per second • The IER (ES) stores & releases to motors what they need to function more efficiently • Electricity reclaimed and recycled by the (ES) would normally be pushed back through the power distribution lines • The IER (ES) reclaims, stores, recycles and supplies Reactive power to inductive loads
- 14. Other Benefits • The IER (ES) improves the efficiency of the electrical system & the kW capacity is increased • Maintains quality voltage levels to your system with less voltage drops especially long runs of cable • Reduces the harmful effects from the EMF’s • Less power system losses in your distribution system • Reduces the heat on wires and motors • Decreases premature failure of motors and other inductive equipment • Motors run cooler and are more efficient • Increases the life of the motors • Reduces maintenance costs
- 15. Causes of Low Power Factor • Inductive loads are usually the major portion of the power consumed in commercial buildings & industrial complexes – 80% or more • Types of Inductive loads (reactive Power) – Transformers – Motors – Compressors – Fluorescent lighting with T-12 ballasts – Older style high intensity discharge lighting (HID) – Lightly loaded motors are wasteful and result in lower power factor
- 16. Power Factor Correction • A 20th Century Technology • Installed on the line side near the main service • Main purpose is for the utility company to “clean up” their “dirty Power” and saves the electric company money Power factor Optimization • A 21st Century Technology • Installed on the demand side, close to the equipment • Reduces amperage kWH (slows the meter) • Saves the customer money • Reduce or eliminate Power Factor Correction penalties
- 17. Why you should optimize Power Factor? • Reducing Amperage & kW usage, directly reflects dollar savings • Reduce the monthly “demand charge” • Eliminate the primary power factor surcharge penalty – Utilities usually charge customers an additional fee (up to 25% more) when their power factor is less than 0.85 (PFC equipment)
- 18. Installing the IER (ES) Units • 2 Types of installations with the IER (ES) Panel Mount – accumulation of smaller inductive loads • Single Phase panel mount • Three Phase panel mount Equipment Mount – Larger individual inductive loads
- 19. Return on Investment Depends On: • Age of Equipment • Percentage of PF optimization • kW per hour charged • Run time of inductive loads • Panel mount or equipment mount • Amount of equipment and labor needed for optimization
- 26. School District, DE 8 out of 10 Schools Total = 38% Savings
- 29. Measuring Power Factor Select Power Factor Clamp Load Wire Leads on Positive and Ground Read and record initial power factor and Amps
- 30. Initial Amps 33.85
- 31. Optimized Amps 27.30 6.55 Amp Difference 19.35% Reduction
- 36. How the process works! • Initial meeting to discuss technology and application for your facility. – This is primarily a discussion that lets you find out who we are and what we provide. – During this meeting we will gather information about your facility. This is called a pre assessment review (PAR) – This information is used to deliver to you an estimate for us to complete an energy analysis of the facility.
- 38. Energy Analysis • An Energy analysis is preformed by a specially trained and licensed electrician/s – Our team will conduct checks of all relevant electrical panels and individual electric motors – Information that we are gathering is related to Voltage, Current, Power, and Power Factor – After the initial readings are taken our patented equipment is hooked up to optimize each load. – Often times the electrician is confronted with situations in your facility that need immediate attention, this information might not have been discovered until to late, had we not been there. We will immediately notify you if this occurs. – The analysis process is not typically disruptive to the work force and all of our personnel conduct themselves in a professional manner.
- 39. Energy Analysis • Upon completion of the analysis all data is forwarded to the I.E.R. corporate office for review. • The review process consist of data obtained, special notes from the electrician and parameters of actually installing the equipment. • The data will now be compiled into a proposal for customer review.
- 45. WHY NOW? • Conditioned power can increase the life of all electric motors in the facility leading to reduced maintenance costs. • Up to 25% SAVINGS realized immediately upon installation. • Environmentally responsible organizations are leading the charge in Protecting, Preserving & Improving our environment.
