Energy efficiency through DC microgrids in industrial facilities and commercial buildings

In modern commercial and industrial buildings, increasing electrification and the use of on-site renewable energy require a powerful and efficient infrastructure. A so-called DC backbone allows generation systems and loads to be efficiently connected on a direct current basis, even enabling the recuperation of braking energy, for example in automated high-bay warehouses or machine parks.

MONITORING (REPORTING)

  • Visualization of data
  • Focus on historical periods
  • Reporting and transparency

METERING (BILLING)

  • Highly accurate, real-time measurement
  • Control & Process Optimization

The certified DC meters from AST enable in this environment:

  • Monitoring and control of generation and consumption systems
  • Identification and allocation of energy losses and inefficiencies
  • Precise measurement of energy quantities for billing purposes
  • Intermediate storage of energy and the associated avoidance of peak loads
  • Reduced investment costs through smaller cable cross-sections and fewer converters

 



Certified DC meters from AST create transparency over energy flows and enable efficient control of generation, consumption, and storage. This helps reduce costs, avoid peak loads, and operate DC-based energy systems economically and reliably.
