		The Intelligent Electricity Management approach uses the following tools and techniques.
		Voltage optimisation The voltage supply from the National Grid varies, but averages around 242V. This over-voltage supply wastes electricity and causes some equipment to operate at above design temperatures. Voltage optimisation is installed in series with the mains supply to regulate and optimise the voltage entering your site, ensuring it does so at between 216V and 220V, the optimum voltage for the equipment operating on the site. This reduces the amount of electricity used and has the added benefits of extending equipment operating life (due to operating at design voltages and cooler temperatures). Read more...		Power factor correction Most commercial operations use electric motors and additional plant such as florescent lighting, ventilation, refrigeration and air conditioning. These are all ‘inductive’ loads that often operate at sub-optimal efficiencies, especially if they are not functioning at full load. Power factor correction reduces the amount of power drawn from the grid by inductive loads, thus allowing equipment to run cooler, freeing up capacity and reducing the amount of power wasted by the loads on a circuit. Read more...		Harmonic Filtering Harmonics manifest within an electric power system as a result of the behaviour of certain kinds of loads, often interfering with loads within the local system, causing heat and stress in mechanical equipment, and causing problems with onsite power quality. Harmonics are on the increase as they are a common side effect of IT use. They can be addressed through the application of selective filtering targeting the most commonly occurring harmonics on a specific site. A harmonics problem can adversely affect your neighbours electricity supply, leading to fines and if severe disconnection from the grid by the Distribution Network Operators.
		Automatic monitoring and targeting Automatic Monitoring and Targeting (aM&T) technology allows you to understand your energy usage, target action to reduce energy usage and monitor the impact of your actions. aM&T systems bring additional benefits such as early warning of non-standard usage, consumption  forecasting and evidence to support intelligent investment decisions. They can also provide automatic invoice checking and validation and rich historical data to support smart energy procurement and tariff/contract renegotiation.		Automated switching and control When you know what energy is being used where, then to take action you need control. Automated switching and control gives you automated site or enterprise-wide control over certain types of energy use, such as lighting control systems, motor control systems, and building management systems. These systems can, for example, ensure all computers and lights are off at a pre-determined time, with simple overrides in place for non-standard activities.		Generating your own heat and power Most sites have the opportunity to generate their own power. Streamline Power can manage the entire process of developing renewable energy generation, from site survey through to deployment and operation. Developing enterprise energy strategies Where required, we can prepare organisation-wide or site-specific energy reports and develop and implement strategies to reduce energy use. Energy strategy reports are becoming a requirement for planning permission and are already required for new-build in London and a number of other UK cities including Reading, Oxford and Brighton.
