In today's world, the responsible use of resources is essential for both ecological and economic reasons. Sustainability and achieving CO2 neutrality are critical not only for maintaining ecological balance but also for reducing operational costs. One of the most effective methods for reducing operational costs is through the conservation and reuse of energy.
As tech centers become more sophisticated, the power interactions between individual test cells and the overall power infrastructure also become more complex. The complexity of modern facilities requires robust processes and advanced tools to accurately understand and manage energy flows within the facility. Our objective is to develop solutions that enhance energy efficiency, optimize resource use, and support sustainable operations.
Energy Efficient Design
Sustainability and total cost of ownership are integral parts of the AVL Test Center Design Service. Based on our experience in testing, development, and daily operations, AVL knows that energy consumption and power peaks are important factors that need to be considered from the beginning of a project. AVL can provide support to ensure an optimal design that takes both the initial investment and the operational costs into account. The first step for that is understanding the application and testing needs. Right sizing of the equipment and central utilities will be crucial for an efficient tech center.
Energy Optimization in Existing Test Facilities
AVL also offers energy consultancy services to make existing facilities more energy efficient. Whether you are planning to expand your facility, change test cells application or simply reduce the operational costs, one of the key points to analyze is how the energy is being used and whether the existing power distribution installation will be sufficient. Since one solution does not fit all, AVL will study how various energy efficiency strategies would work for your project, to quantify the economic benefit of implementing different measures, both in investment and operation costs.
Even with appropriately sized facilities, managing energy consumption and avoiding power peaks can significantly impact the operating costs of a test center. AVL EMOS™ plays a crucial role in this regard. By monitoring both energy consumption and testbed operating parameters, AVL EMOS™ detects inefficiencies and identifies their causes.
AVL EMOS™ ensures that plant limits are not exceeded during operation by efficiently synchronizing test schedules. This approach helps prevent power peaks, optimizes the power infrastructure, and maintains stable operation in facilities with limited power supply. Additionally, it can contribute to reducing power tariffs, further enhancing cost efficiency. → More on AVL EMOS™
