Intel 1997 Study
• The biggest study into voltage reduction technology (VRT) was carried out
by Intel in 1997.
• Intel identified that by dropping the voltage from 3.3V to 2.9V (9% reduction)they could achieve a 20% reduction of the power consumption at the
Microprocessor.
• Since this study all Intel microprocessors use VRT in their CPUs.

Powerstar®
PowerStar ® is a uniquely designed triple wound Voltage Optimiser whichreduces the Voltage from Low Voltage (415V) to even Lower Voltage (380-390V). Due to the design characteristics and high quality materials used,PowerStar ® has extremely high efficiencies, up to 99.91% at maximum load.
All PowerStar ® components, including minor items such as the paint, aresourced from UK manufacturers. The PowerStar ® design and any associatedsoftware are designed by us. We are highly committed to manufacture in theUK.
Our experience has clearly shown that for a 5% voltage reduction we expect atleast 10% energy savings.

How does Powerstar ® work?
• Energy Savings through Voltage Reduction of your total Incoming Power.
• Fixed reduction and Absolute Controlled (Powerstar ® MAX) systemsavailable.
• The PowerStar ® system will automatically adjust the incoming voltage tosuit your requirements (Powerstar ® MAX only). The System will allowabsolute controllability of the site voltage down to an accuracy of 1V.Therefore, a constant 225V will be provided if you wish to have a 225V. Thisis PLC controlled, IP addressable and can be adjusted if required at anytime remotely (if necessary).

Fixed vs. MAX Systems
The graph shows how the incoming voltage is
controlled by a fixed voltage reduction and anabsolute voltage control system. The
PowerStar® MAX achieves on average 5%
more savings than the Fixed Voltage reduction
system. In some cases the additional savings
can be 10% more that the Fixed Voltage
reduction unit.
An additional advantage is simply that
regardless of the incoming voltage, the
PowerStar® MAX unit will maintain voltageat the pre-programmed level. The voltage
level can be changed at any time by authorised personnel through any PC on the network and therefore
further savings can be obtained by fine tuning the system after its installation.

Does it work on everything?
NO it doesn’t work on everything…
It works better on inductive loads (Motors, Lighting) than Resistive Loads and
again depends on the loading of these inductive loads.
Therefore, it is important to understand the electrical loading characteristics of
your site.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/estalighttunnel4powerstarmardapittaswebpd 10/28
Examples
• Voltage reduction will not achieve any savings in High Frequency (HF)Lighting.
• No savings on a kettle or similar resistive loads.
• Less savings on motors with VSD controls (4% to 8% instead of 12% to
20% with Fixed speed motors)
• But it will achieve significant savings on motors, especially if these are notloaded at 100% of their capacity at 100% of the time.
It is therefore important to consider all potential energy savingprojects within your organisation as Power Optimisation is only
one of the tools you can use.

How does Voltage Optimisation save Energy?
• Consider an inductive load such as a motor There are three types of load
within a motor
7/30/2019 ESTA_Light_tunnel_4_PowerStar_Mardapittas_web.pd
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/estalighttunnel4powerstarmardapittaswebpd 12/28
How does Voltage Optimisation save Energy?
Resistive element of Load
• V = I * RWhere
V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Load
• Where load remains constant, a reduction in voltage will see a corresponding reduction in current.
• For example a 5% reduction in the voltage at the motor will result a 5% reduction in current (at all times except
when the motor is on full capacity. When a motor is required to produced its full power capacity it will do so
regardless of the input voltage).
0.95 V = 0.95 I * R
Now … to calculate the effect on motor input power:
PO = V * I * Ö 3 * SinΦ
Where PO = original Power
Therefore
Pn = 0.95 V * 0.95 I * Ö 3 * SinΦ
Where Pn = new Power
So, reducing the input voltage by 5% will reduce Consumed Power by 10%

How does Voltage Optimisation save Energy?
Inductive element of Load
XL= 2Π f L and L (inductance) is proportional to I (current).
• Therefore, the reduction in the current flow will affect the inductance and therefore reduce the magnetisation
losses within the motor.
XL is impedance … therefore the bigger the impedance the bigger the losses.
Hence, on a 5% reduction in the current flow, there would a 5% reduction in the motor impedance and hence a 5%
reduction in the power consumption
Therefore, for a 5% reduction in the voltage, the total savings would be up to 15%
(10% from resistive and 5% from inductive components)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/estalighttunnel4powerstarmardapittaswebpd 14/28
How does Voltage Optimisation save Energy?What if my motor has a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) (Inverter)?
Variable speed drives control the “V” & “I” part of the motor consumption but increase the
magnetisation losses within the motor as the motor is now operating at less efficient loads (motors are
at their highest efficiency at the maximum load).
• Therefore, the PowerStar® system will achieve up to a maximum of 8% if VSDs are used.
VSD settings• A VSD is generally deployed to save energy by reducing speed, particularly on fans and pumps. It is very
important to determine whether the VSD is simply set by hand “manual control” or if it automatically
adjusts motor speed to control required rate of flow etc (PID control)• Almost all VSDs have a display showing the frequency to which the motor is being held or controlled.
• A VSD which is manually set at 49 or 50 Hz for example will achieve very little in the way of savings … asthe motor will be at or near full speed.
• Example = the supply fan on an Air Handling Unit which in order to maintain flow / overcome frictionlosses must run hard.
• A VSD which is showing 20 or 30 Hz has slowed the motor considerably whilst still delivering the requiredrate of flow. In this case the losses in the motor will be considerable.
• Example = a water pump which has been sized such that it could deliver a high rate of flow if severalprocesses or machines called at the same time … but which will slow to minimum speed if only oneprocess is calling. It may even be the case that the pump would stop completely.
• Speak to the Site Engineers about their plant and processes, they love it!!

Hence, the slower the
speed of the motor the
less efficient the motor is and therefore the
savings on the motor
will be higher.

Case Study: Textile Industry Federation
“We have seen a reduction of 16.3% in our total electricity consumption since the installation of the Powerstar
system. Our maximum demand has also dropped by 21% which is an additional saving in costs, we never calculated in the first place, hence further improving our pay back. EMS was impressive in all aspects from the initial meeting to final installation. The power shutdown of our building was only 15 minutes which
caused no inconvenience at all.” Adam Mansell - BATC
In addition to the direct savings achieved as a result of the
Powerstar® installation, the online real time savings is excellentand has started to have significant effect on our consumption.
We are hoping that we can save an additional 10% of our totalelectricity consumption through the online Monitoring andTargeting System as provided as standard with the Powerstar®
system. This can be clearly seen on the graph where our non-productive consumption has been reduced from 5Kw per hour toless than 1Kw.
We simply look at the Powerstar® data and shut down anything
which is not essential.

Case Study: Purifications Product Limited“We have always strived to minimise the use of electricity and gas at our company; however most of our
efforts related to non-productive items, such as lighting and heating. The installation of the Powerstar®

Case Study: Oxley Threads Limited“Having the unit installed and working in less than 4 weeks from order did indeed impress us but saving £2,000 a month on our electricity bill was even more impressive” Graham Hall – Production Director
Oxley Threads Limited has been manufacturing high quality threads for 140years and as part of their drive to reduce their environmental impact aPowerStar® was installed in January 2008 on the incoming supply for thespinning mill. Initial indications showed that a minimum of 12% potentialsaving to the total electricity supply was possible. The actual savingswere 17.66% reduction of the total electricity consumption.
A 6.8% voltageoptimisationthrough aPowerStar® 500Kvaunit achievedsavings of 17.7% inthe total electricity
consumption,saving the company£24,000 per year.
