Leveraging the web to view, monitor and manage energy consumption Energy Aggregator is built on state-of-the-art technology and boasts a sophisticated viewer, enabling users to compile data analysis and statistical billing reports. This package is an ideal tool for managing energy GE s usage in multiple locations (floors, tenants, sites, etc.). It provides financial analysts with a user-friendly tool for generating bills in simple steps while simultaneously furnishing facility management teams with detailed technical data. Your firm will have the best of both worlds. FACILITIES & ENGINEERING TEAMS CAN: Optimize plant performance while minimizing energy costs. Identify and troubleshoot potential electrical distribution problems. Perform feeder monitoring and outage detection. Load profile products and services. FINANCE & ACCOUNTING TEAMS CAN: Generate energy bills. Analyze the impact of different utility rate structures. Analyze energy costs as a percent of total production costs. Aggregate and compare energy bills across multiple locations. Reduce costly peak demand charges through analysis. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE Metering Submetering (Eight Submetered Loads) 1. CAPTURES ENERGY-RELATED DATA FROM PHYSICAL METERS. Energy Aggregator's Logger is the backbone engine that collects data from an extensive library of metering and relaying devices. This not only allows you to incorporate a variety of new meters into your system but also provides the opportunity to reduce hardware costs by using your existing metering devices. 2. STORES DATA IN AN OPEN DATABASE. ONCE DATA IS STORED AND COMBINED, YOU CAN CONFIGURE YOUR OWN GROUPS OF METERING DEVICES. Data is retrieved via a DDE server and stored in an open SQL database using Energy Aggregator s Logger. Data can then be combined and configured into customized groupings of metering devices. Each grouping can represent desired billing units for cost allocation and is comprised of real and virtual meters. GE's Virtual Meter Technology provides you with the added flexibility of measuring energy usage in un-metered areas, therefore reducing your hardware costs. Open SQL Database Energy Aggregator allows you to view the energy profile of your entire facility or group
