Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency: reducing consumption, a major issue! Reducing energy consumption is a crucial goal for companies. Measurement is the only way to achieve it.
At the heart of companies' and all other organizations' strategies, the improvement of energy efficiency helps to reduce costs and shrink their carbon footprint.
This is a crucial goal in the current economic and environmental context.
Finding out what you consume… Analysis
Finding out what you consume is a central part of any energy efficiency initiative.
By placing power and energy loggers or power analysers on the different electrical feeders downstream from the meter, you can assess the relative weight of each line as part of global consumption, simply and without interrupting the installation's operation, and define a load profile for the installation so that you can determine the priorities regarding orientations for improvements.
Analysis of the measurements… Diagnosis
Once all the measurements have been performed and noted, a diagnosis (Enerdis link) is drawn up for the implementation of corrective action.
A comparison is made between the theoretical efficiency of an installation and the actual measurements.
Several types of corrective action may be taken: resizing of the transformer, implementation of filtering systems, replacement of faulty equipment, etc;
This analysis enables you to provide the best solution in the right place at the right time.
Checking effectiveness: Testing
Once the solutions have been implemented, you need to repeat the measurements performed during the audit before correction. Monitoring can then be set up to check that the day-to-day savings achieved persist over time and to avoid the reappearance of drift.
At this stage, it may be decided to define new improvement targets or to take corrective action to achieve or improve on the initial objective.
Measurement is therefore an essential technique on the energy efficiency improvement process.

Clean energy sources
In the context of sustainable development, the share of clean energy has grown significantly in recent years.
This includes solar energy. The photovoltaic sector (transforming solar energy into electrical energy), rolled out both in homes and on high-capacity production sites (solar farms) is a major focus for us.
To assess the efficiency of these installations and check solar panels, Chauvin Arnoux proposes solar panel testers specially designed for this application.
