Solution overview
Electrical systems, such as, Lighting, Refrigeration and HVAC have become so complex that continuous monitoring of their individual performance is vital to detect and diagnose problems early, before they lead to high energy costs and unexpected equipment failures. Lack of monitoring assets and equipment failures can dramatically increase energy consumption, operations and maintenance (O&M), as well as labor and replacement costs. Issues and failures are seldom discovered before it’s too late.
The Panoramic Power P3E energy management system provides users with real-time granular, asset-level energy measurement, anomaly detection, and failure prediction through customized alerts.
The P3E solution combines miniature, wireless sensor technology with a powerful cloud-based analytics platform, offering complete visibility regarding the energy consumption of individual assets. As opposed to one time audits, Panoramic Power’s solution detects hidden inefficiencies and waste, and identifies problems and risks early, before they lead to high energy costs and unexpected equipment failures.
The ability to monitor and measure other operational systems, such as lighting or refrigeration systems, to make sure they are functioning properly, results in significant operational and energy savings.
This turn-key solution allows for rapid, scalable, low-cost deployment that has zero disruption to business operations and requires no maintenance.
The Panoramic Power asset-level monitoring solution provides energy and O&M managers a broad range of applications and benefits:
Operation and Maintenance (O&M)
- Improve overall quality of operations with efficient service management and timely equipment maintenance.
- Reduce over-servicing, purchasing and equipment costs.
- Improve maintenance efficiency by reducing manual search times for locating system failures or inefficiencies, reducing man-hours required.
- Enable maintenance service tracking in real-time when problems occur, such as a faulty condenser unit or lighting control malfunction. The system automatically alerts relevant staff if a system does not operate according to the defined specifications.
- Automate and optimize processes for managing and maintaining energy-related equipment.
Measurement and Verification
- Improve regulatory compliance through higher levels of measurement and verification
- Verify new system savings
- Ensure that specifications are kept or returned to original settings
- Measure carbon footprint per device
- Monitor and incentivize service providers
Behavior Change
- Stimulate behavior change based on asset level information – enables on-site staff to better understand energy related issues
Asset Utilization and Benchmarking
- Assess capital equipment and purchasing requirements through asset utilization analysis.
- Increase equipment utilization
- Benchmark asset and system energy use as compared to similar assets, to identify needs for improvement
- Benchmark a building’s performance and use the statistical data to continually improve performance
- Identify key system parameters to detect problems early and assess system performance
- Reveal opportunities to reduce operating costs and system costs
- Benchmark sequences of operations to optimize building performance
- Locate problems immediately, eliminating wasted time and costs
