The Buyers' Guide to Voltage Optimisation is an unbiased reference point aimed at anyone considering investing in voltage optimisation, has been produced to equip specifiers and end users with information, questions and prompts to ensure they make the right decisions during the specification process. It discusses how voltage optimisation technology works, differences between competitor systems, savings realistically achievable, assessing if your site is suitable, maintenance requirements etc. It concludes with a checklist of questions to put to prospective suppliers/manufacturers.
Marshall-Tufflex Energy Management produced the guide in order to assist those considering the technology, as Business Manager Jeremy Dodge explained: “Our sole aim with this guide is to provide an impartial reference point for anyone considering voltage optimisation. It advises on the questions to ask and the issues to raise when selecting a system and explains the different technological approaches to VO, site evaluation, cost savings and full service or supply only solutions. We hope it will prove an invaluable information source for those interested in voltage optimisation, giving them succinct and jargon-free facts to assist in the specification process.”
Voltage optimisation is an increasingly popular and proven way of significantly reducing electricity bills at commercial and industrial operations. Savings of up to 25% are possible but, as the Guide explains, installations usually achieve between 8% and 16% depending upon the type of optimiser installed and the site demographics.
