Legend Power® Systems Introduces SmartGATE Insights™
21 November 2019 - 8:00PM
Following its recent announcement of significant enhancements to
its SmartGATE™ platform, Legend Power® Systems Inc. (TSX-V: LPS), a
global leader in onsite energy management technology, has taken a
key next step in finding and minimizing building-specific risk and
waste created by the electric grid with the introduction of its
SmartGATE Insights™ technology. It is available as a standalone
diagnostic tool to prioritize areas of risk and waste across all
buildings owned or operated by a customer. SmartGATE Insights is
now built-in to new SmartGATE platforms, and, available as a
retrofit to a customer’s existing SmartGATE to serve as the
verification engine for energy efficiency and effectiveness.
A sophisticated
metering and monitoring gateway, the breakthrough system
captures in real-time, the major aspects of power quality from each
inbound electrical feed. The system’s analytics engine then
analyzes them to create a proprietary Power Quality Index™ (PQI)
for client buildings. The PQI illustrates the impact of the known
causes of equipment malfunctions, failures and inefficiencies. This
includes a minute-by-minute capture of the hundreds of data points
necessary to visualize major areas of power quality (voltage
sags/swells, phase unbalance and over/under voltage).
The reporting shows key metrics in business and
technical terms, effectively providing a diagnosis of the
electrical “health” and building systems for the entire portfolio.
Building owners or managers can see their exposure to avoidable
risk and waste in kilowatt hours (kWh), in dollars, uptime and
lifetime of key electrical systems, GHG emissions and much
more.
“The engineering team have dedicated 10 years to
making onsite power management technology a practical, viable
solution for commercial-level application,” said Legend Power
Systems VP of Engineering, Mark Petersen. “It needed to deliver on
power quality, energy efficiency and sustainability while also
being compact, effective, reliable and affordable. I’m proud to say
that the combination of SmartGATE Insights and SmartGATE checks all
those boxes.”
The results from the SmartGATE Insights rollout
across a customer’s portfolio of buildings allows Legend to
recommend a comprehensive, prioritized risk and waste mitigation
plan leveraging the optimal SmartGATE configurations across their
buildings. SmartGATE’s combined proprietary intelligence and
control technology then manages the ongoing power corrections in
real-time, via electronic switching and an extremely efficient
auto-transformer.
The PQI is available at a dedicated web portal or via download
from the web interface. After full deployment, customers can access
single building or “Portfolio” views (for multiple buildings) at a
single log-in, and download summaries for the past month or year,
or view live (real-time/cumulative).
SmartGATE Insights is available now and as a
result of the initial deployment, it has been installed in 30
customer locations.
