PowerCircuit leverages IoT sensors, cloud computing, and machine learning to provide real-time visibility into energy consumption and offer data-driven insights to reduce waste and costs.

Key Features of PowerCircuit

• Energy monitoring – PowerCircuit uses current transformers and cloud-based analytics to monitor electricity usage across circuits, assets, and locations. This allows facilities to identify opportunities to reduce consumption.
• Asset optimization – By analyzing energy data, PowerCircuit can detect anomalies and inefficiencies in connected equipment like HVAC systems. It sends alerts and recommends adjustments to optimize performance.
• Demand response – PowerCircuit enables automated load shedding during peak demand to avoid high energy costs. Battery storage can also be incorporated.
• Actionable insights – User-friendly dashboards and reports provide actionable recommendations to cut energy waste based on analyzed data patterns and trends.
• Integration & API – PowerCircuit seamlessly integrates with building management and industrial control systems. The open API also allows custom integrations.

Implementing an Intelligent Power Management Ecosystem

PowerCircuit utilizes a network of IoT sensors strategically installed throughout a facility to collect granular energy data. The key components include:

• Circuit sensors – Monitor consumption on critical circuits or high load equipment.
• Submetering – Gather data from panels, generators, and rooftop solar.
• Asset monitors – Track energy use of HVAC, lighting, motors, chargers, and manufacturing equipment.
• Smart breakers – Enable real-time remote circuit control.
• Battery storage – Integrate batteries to reduce peak loads.

The sensors transmit energy data to the PowerCircuit cloud platform, which runs advanced analytics to generate optimization recommendations tailored to each facility’s needs. Facility managers can access insights via the online dashboard, mobile apps, or integrate PowerCircuit with existing building management platforms.
