Control del Consumo Energético - BAUM Control Ingeniería

Intelligent control of energy consumption to optimize facilities and reduce costs

The modern energy management It no longer consists solely of measuring consumption: It consists of converting data into operational decisions capable of reducing costs, improving the performance of facilities and increasing their sustainability..

In an environment where energy costs have a direct impact on competitiveness, having an advanced energy analysis system allows you to know:

how much is consumed
where it is consumed
when is it consumed
Why is it consumed?

and, above all, how to optimize that consumption through automation and advanced control.

Our solution integrates Measurement, analysis, and automation in a SINGLE strategy, transforming energy into a controllable variable within the daily operation of the facility.

Energy measurement: the basis of an efficient installation

The first step towards energy efficiency It is about having a hierarchical architecture designed to obtain useful information.

Instrumentation and data capture

Measurement systems adapted to the required level of detail are implemented:

electric meters (main and submeter)
network analyzers
thermal meters (heating/cooling)
process variables
environmental and operational sensors

This data is integrate on monitoring platforms such as:

BMS (Building Management System)
EMS (Energy Management System)
SCADA

Measurement architecture, typically hierarchical, is divided into:

general level (total consumption)
level of uses (HVAC, lighting, power)
level of detail (critical equipment)

Real-time data acquisition and storage

Real-time data reading and storage in historical (trending) databases allows for complete traceability of energy behavior. Variables such as the following are recorded:

power (kW)
energy (kWh)
electrical variables (cos φ, harmonics, voltages)

This allows for the generation of historical trends and the availability of reports (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual), as well as comparisons with equivalent periods.

Advanced energy analysis: transforming data into real savings

This is where the true technical and economic value is generated.

Basic analysis:

load profiles (daily, weekly, seasonal)
consumption by use/zones
identification of demand peaks

Advanced analysis:

Incorporation of external variables To understand the actual behavior: occupancy, weather, production, operating hours
This allows us to detect:
- abnormal consumption
- opportunities for improvement
- internal comparisons and energy benchmarking

Technical interpretation: detecting hidden inefficiencies

Energy analysis allows for the identification of common situations where efficiency is lost:

oversized equipment
operating outside of business hours
simultaneous cold/heat
high base consumption
performance evaluation of the highest consumption systems:
- HVAC
- lightning
- industrial processes

From measurement to action: proposals for energy improvement

Based on the analysis, the following actions are defined:

Immediate operational adjustments

optimization of instructions
schedule review
start and stop sequences

Technical improvements

frequency converters
replacement of inefficient equipment

Advanced automation strategies:

demand control
predictive control
automatic sequencing of equipment

Objectives of energy analysis in an organization

Reduce energy costs through consumption control and tariff optimization.
Improve efficiency increasing the performance of the facilities.
Support for regulations and certifications (ISO 50001, ESG, CAES)
Optimize the operation adapting the system to the actual demand.
Detect deviations before they cause failures or cost overruns.
Promote sustainability reducing emissions and improving ESG indicators.
Facilitate investment decisions with technical and economic criteria.

CAEs: turning energy savings into economic returns

Energy Saving Certificates (EACs) are electronic documents that certify the annual final energy savings obtained through an energy efficiency action and allow for their monetization. They are issued at a value of 1 kWh

CAE CYCLE

CAE TER050 DATA SHEET: Automation and control system for buildings in the tertiary sector (BACS).

The card TER050 It recognizes energy improvement actions through the implementation or optimization of control and automation systems in the tertiary sector.

In accordance with the criteria established in the AENOR standard UNE-EN ISO 52120-1, The objective is to determine the level of energy automation in facilities of the tertiary sector by assigning a BACS efficiency class
