Even when facilities are appropriately sized, managing energy consumption and avoiding power peaks can significantly impact test center operating costs.
Comprehensive monitoring of energy consumption, combined with active test scheduling management, can impact overall energy consumption, carbon emissions, and total cost of ownership. Efficient use of the facility's power distribution network helps ensure power availability for new applications or building expansions.
Power Limitations
Facilities are limited in power. Upgrades to test cells are sometimes compromised.
Regeneration Peaks
Some facilities are not allowed to regenerate power to the grid, have limited capabilities, or do not receive compensation.
Planning for New Infrastructure
Planning for a new test cell or building requires an understanding of the power consumption.
High Energy Costs
Controlling where energy is spent is crucial for improving efficiency as energy costs continue to rise.
AVL EMOS™ monitors energy consumption in real-time, maps it to the corresponding test cycles, and links operating costs to consumption. The tool supports the user in optimizing power costs by analyzing the consumed versus the contracted maximal power.
AVL EMOS™ Management enables the optimization of test sequences between different testbeds. It can perform pre-planning offline, control loads online, prioritize test cells, and operate in bypass mode if load management functionality needs to be temporarily disabled.
Monitoring
AVL EMOS™ enables the allocation of expenses to the correct cost center, defining KPIs for test results, calculating energy and operating costs, and providing important information for new investments in the tech center.
Load Management
AVL EMOS™ Management dynamically controls and adapts the number of tests running in parallel to avoid exceeding the overall power consumption limit.
Load Simulation
Based on the planned tests, a forecast of the expected power load is calculated, and the user can assess the viability of the proposed test schedule.
Flexibility for a Complete Overview
AVL EMOS™ visualizations, reports and interfaces are flexible and highly configurable. The software can act as a data source for existing BI tools, providing an integrated energy view into your existing data infrastructure.
AVL EMOS™ empowers test fields with a scalable and modular energy management solution. It enables informed decision-making, facilitates regulatory compliance, streamlines buildings permitting processes and reduces the power requirements from utility providers.”
