Electricity is the biggest cause of carbon emissions in most businesses. The most effective way to save electricity in your business is through investing in a voltage optimisation system. Voltage optimisation allows you to meet the Carbon Reduction Commitment without compromising your business on a day-to-day basis or costing excessive amounts of money. If your business is close to reaching its Carbon Reduction Commitment cap, or you may soon with growth of your business, now is the time to invest in voltage optimisation.

A voltage optimisation system works by utilising the discrepancy between the UKs power supply and most electrical equipments optimum operating electricity requirements. Electricity supplied by the National Grid in the UK averages at 242V, with fluctuations to around 253V. The ideal voltage for electrical equipment, however, is 216V-220V, during which it will work as normal. Voltage optimisation is a proven technology which controls your power outage to meet the energy requirements of your electrical equipment, thus saving the excess energy which your business is currently wasting. It also prevents your electrical equipment from suffering in minor power surges or from the excess power supplied to it (often dissipated as heat or small vibrations), which may be unnoticeable but lead to a shorter lifespan of equipment, often put down to general wear-and-tear.

Voltage optimisation units are installed between your supply of electricity and the power points. They require little to no maintenance yet work constantly to save electricity and help you meet your Carbon Reduction Commitment.

Modern voltage optimisation systems such as Voltis are revolutionising the world of saving electricity and emissions. Voltis does not merely reduce the mains supply like traditional optimisers, but is an intelligent computerised system which will constantly manage the demand required by each piece of equipment in each socket to the most energy-effective and practical power outage. Voltis voltage optimisation allows you to meet your Carbon Reduction Commitment without any work on your part; simply have it installed and allow it to work silently to cut electricity bills and emissions by up to 20%.

The units arent even expensive and you can expect a typical investment payback within just 2-3 years. So, if you want to meet your carbon allowance with an affordable investment which wont change how your business operates, consider installing a Voltis intelligent voltage optimisation unit.

How does voltage optimisation work?

Voltage optimisation works because of the National Grid. The National Grid supplies electricity to your home, but their standard outage is often much higher than your appliances need. The National Grid provides around 240V of electricity to your home, despite the fact that domestic electrical equipment only requires around 220V to work effectively. The extra power which is not used by your electrical equipment dissipates as heat and vibration within your appliances, reducing their lifespan by as much as 90%. In addition to this, the UK mains electricity is prone to usually unnoticeable power surges, further damaging electrical equipment and reducing how long it lasts.

Voltage optimisation units are installed in your home to act as a buffer between the National Grid and your domestic electricity supply. They reduce the voltage outage in your home to that required by your electrical items, cutting the electricity units you use and prolonging their lifespan.

What voltage optimisation options are available?

The benefits of voltage optimisation are obvious. There are many different types available, but the newest units are by far the most effective at their jobs. Intelligent voltage optimisation systems are a new development in home energy management products, ideal for domestic use.

They differ from traditional units in that they reduce the electricity demanded by the unit by managing voltage levels only on appliances which are being used, allowing them to reduce their own energy usage. If the main power supply has dipped below the voltage required by your appliances it will recognise this and not further lower the voltage, whereas an older unit would continue to lower voltages, rendering electricity sources useless. To further improve their power efficiency, new intelligent systems can detect when there has been no electricity consumption in the whole property, and will go into standby mode.

Intelligent voltage optimisation systems also have a display screen which allows you to see how much energy is being saved by its installation. They can be installed to your supply (between the electricity meter and consumer unit) by a qualified electricity in around an hour, and are effective in saving you money immediately.
