PowerSines Introduces Commercial Efficiency Controller

October 19, 2010 by Jeff Shepard

PowerSines Ltd., a global provider of energy efficiency and energy saving systems, announced the launch of the universal Commercial Efficiency Controller (ComEC). ComEC controls and stabilizes the voltage to all electric loads in commercial applications resulting in immediate energy savings of up to 18%.

ComEC is an energy efficiency system based on a field-proven voltage control technology. ComEC is an all-in-one solution that installs easily just after the main circuit breaker of the facility, or at a specific electric board, dynamically optimizing the supplied voltage and power for all electric loads and circuits, generating direct savings of up to 18%.

Built around patented power transformers and controlled by a microprocessor, ComEC not only slashes the electric bill, but also helps suppress harmonics and mitigate voltage sags. It improves the overall power quality of the facility’s entire electric network, thereby extending electric equipment lifetime and reducing maintenance costs.

By providing voltage control and optimization, ComEC is the first tier foundation of energy efficiency architecture, synergizing with any existing and future energy solutions. Highly efficient and with a small footprint, ComEC can be easily installed without making any modifications to the existing electrical rewiring and infrastructure, or changes to the mode of operation of the electrical equipment.

Eran Tagor, CEO of PowerSines, stated "We believe in the holistic approach, whereby everybody profits from energy efficiency solutions. Today energy efficiency is still the largest untapped source of energy that is beneficial for everyone. ComEC will be an important building block in the smart grid infrastructure. It helps customers reduce their operation costs, and at the same time enables utilities to control peak demand situations and rendering the entire grid more efficient. ComEC is a win-win solution: customers save money, utilities benefit and it contributes to the environment."
