Benefits TheEmax 2 with embedded Power Controller deliv- ers, the following benefits: • Reduction of energy costs with minimum impact. The loads are disconnected from the power sup- ply for short periods, in the minimum number necessary and in a fixed order of priority, en- abling power consumption peaks to be limited. This allows the contract drawn up with the energy provider to be renegotiated, reducing the power allocated, with a consequent reduction in total energy costs. • Power limited only when necessary. The Power Controller function manages up to four different time bands, it is possible to man- age a particular power limit during the day (peak) or night (off peak). Consumption during the day when rates are at their highest can be limited. • Easy of use The Power Controller function allows the installa- tion to be managed efficiently with a simple ar- chitecture. Its patented design allows it to mea- sure the total power of the installation without the need to measure the power consumed by each load. Installation costs and times are thereby kept to a minimum. • The Power Controller function does not require writing, implementation and testing of compli- cated programs for PLC or computer because the logic has already been implemented in the pro- tection unit and is ready to use; the installation parameters can be set from a smartphone or di- rectly from the switching device display. The Power Controller significantly helps to flatten the load curve, limiting the use of peaking power plants in favor of base load power plants with greater efficiency.

• ThePower Controller’s integrated communication modules can receive the maximum absorbable power directly from the medium voltage control system, determining consumption for the next 15 minutes. Ekip Power Controller, according to the information received, manages the switching off of non-priority loads or the switching on of re- serve generators. The software gives maximum priority to non-programmable preferred energy sources, such as wind and solar, and they are therefore considered uninterruptable. In the event the production of internal power to the con- trolled network is reduced, due, for example, to decreased production of solar power, Power Con- troller will disconnect the necessary loads to manage the consumption limit set. • This benefit is used, for example, in installations with a system of cogeneration. The Power Con- troller controls the total consumption drawn from the electrical network, interrupting non-indis- pensable loads when production is reduced and reconnecting them when generator power is suf- ficient to not exceed limits. The Power Contoller has multiple advantages: reduction in energy costs, maximum use of local production and greater overall energy efficiency.
