Case studies New ABB SACE building Load Management with Ekip Power Controller for SACE Emax 2 The customer ABB SACE Division, leading company in the research and development of LV air and moulded-case circuit-breakers, is now fitting out its new building in Bergamo (Italy) with advanced automation technology systems. The Challenge The goal is to reduce the total power absorbed from the Utility by this new building in order to save money and to contribute to a better behavior of the whole electrical system. The electrical plant consists of 4 MV/LV transformers. For each of them a circuit-breaker SACE Emax 1.2 is installed as a general low voltage circuit-breaker. The purpose is to control the HVAC loads in an easy and automated manner. Saving per year 11.000 Thanks to Ekip Power Controller up to 400 kW of HVAC loads can be controlled with about 11000 saving per year! 400 kW equivalent to the power absorbed by 133 apartments without change the grid configuration New ABB SACE building | ABB The ABB Solution To meet this goal, ABB offers the Ekip Power Controller solution. It is a software embedded into the electronic trip unit already used for overcurrent protection; hence, neither complex control systems nor dedicated software are necessary. To realize the system, it is enough to have a single circuit breaker provided with this function, installed as main LV circuit-breaker; therefore, in this application only one of the four main Emax 1.2 has to be equipped with Ekip Power...
