Applications – Smart Metering, Electricity, Gas, Emissions, Water, Waste, Environmental

Electricity

 

Electricity live data from your retailer via ftp, data loggers, our multi-channel iPOWER smart meter, from other energy management systems or your BMS are all integrated into one system. Also manually enter or batch load bill usage and costs into our online Invoice Module to see the same range of charts and reports. Use Bill-Check to compare invoice figures against the live data. A wide range of usage reports, alarms, carbon emissions and KPI trend charts are provided.

Gas

 

Gas live data can be uploaded from logger, your retailer, other energy management systems or your BMS. Invoiced usage and costs can be added online then charted and reported just as for live data; invoice and live data can be compared for bill checking. A wide range of usage reports, carbon and KPI trend charts are provided. Alerts for high after hours usage, MHQ, MDQ and low LPG tank levels alerts are transmitted to give comprehensive gas supply, consumption and cost management.

Energy & Carbon

 

Electricity, natural gas, LPG and any other relevant fuel use data is normalised to MJ to allow aggregation across fuel sources. It is integrated and processed to provide total energy and carbon emissions reporting. Official emissions factors are used and displayed; for gas the retailer’s actual energy content and corrections factors are applied to both manual and live data – all energy and emissions information is accurate and certifiable.

Water

 

Water data can come live from loggers, water information systems, your BMS or by manual input from bills into our Invoice Module A wide range of usage reports, KPI trend charts and leak alerts are provided. Usage can be split by shift or business hours to highlight unexplained usage or leaks.

General Waste

  Use our gwasteVIEW module for general dry waste data for charting and reporting by waste stream. Weights and costs are added online or batch loaded from service provider records. Stream types are user definable, any data interval can be processed.  All inputs are aggregated to report total weights and breakdowns by stream type for each building, process, area, organisation, state, etc. Equivalent emissions are also reported where factors can be defined. KPIs are reported in total and by stream against Target, Baseline and Best Practice based on one or more Business Activity Indicators.

Pools

  Our poolSMART module aggregates all IEQ, utility, water quality and water treatment plant data then integrates it (eg pH, Cl2, ORP, TDS, NTU, kW, MJ, kL. kPa, RH%, m3/hr, RPM, temp, etc). Both live and manual data entries are hosted in the Cloud and automatically processed to provide pool operators, sustainability managers and health offices with the full picture of pool performance and compliance.

Cooling Towers

  towerSMART allows best practice in cooling tower performance and risk management. It collects and aggregates a wide range of system related data then processes it to provide customers, operators and maintenance contractors with easy to understand tower performance information via the N2Ndata web portal. Real time monitoring, automatic processing and our alarm system means problems are identified immediately, not next month. Water use, bleed, Cycles of Concentration, conductivity, pH, ORP, corrosion, condenser water temperatures and flows, evaporation, system water losses and tower cooling efficiency are all recorded and reported online in real rime. The module also hosts CT risk management plans, service reports, legionella lab report, checks list and all other documents and records required by health regulations – a total risk management platform.  

Boiler Plant

 

The boilerVIEW module provides a unique, integrated custom view for best practice boiler system management. All water quality (eg TDS, pH), utility usage, emissions plus system operating parameters (eg bleed, corrosion rate, flow, temp, amps) are recorded and stored  at 5-minute intervals, automatically processed and reported live online. Plant operators plus sustainability and health compliance officers have direct access to the live data and KPIs they need for safety, performance, and compliance reporting as well as faster maintenance responses.

Trade Waste

 

The twasteVIEW or Trade Waste module provides a unique, integrated custom view of all water quality (eg pH, TDS), discharge (flow rate, daily volume), emissions plus system operating parameters (eg flow, temp, amps) in real time. Lab test results can also be entered online (eg BOD) so that all system parameters can be charted and reported by a common system. Plant operators and sustainability managers have direct access to the live data and KPIs they need for best practice in water treatment plant management. Environmental compliance officers can better comply with TW discharge permit/licence conditions and so avoid penalties or even plant closures arising from condition breaches.

Monitoring & Verification

  N2Ndata accepts, records/hosts and reports data down to 1 second intervals from utility meters, smart power meters  and building systems (eg temp, kWh, kgCO2e, kPa, RH%, IEQ). M&V consultants have access to KPIs, live BOM weather data plus a wide range charts (eg Usage and KPI trend, shift splits, 7-day profile overlay, multi-parameter profile overlay, this to last period, after business hours use, etc). Official emissions factors are used and displayed; for gas the retailer’s actual energy content and corrections factors are applied to both manual and live data – all energy and emissions information is accurate and certifiable. These features make N2Ndata  an invaluable analysis tool for M&V.  

SMART METERING – AMI + AMR

  N2Ndata supports all forms of smart metering including AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) and AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) applications. It is ideal for monitoring utility supply meters plus owner or tenant water (hot and cold), electricity and gas submeters in Multi Unit Properties (eg apartment towers, shopping centres, office blocks). Our system reduces meter reading costs and provides the more frequent interval data need for better utility management. Parameters such as pressure and flow rates can also be recorded and combined with custmer usage data for network analysis for leak detection and planning.

Cathodic Protection

 

Cathodic Protection or CP, is an unsung and unseen hero protecting valuable and mission critical assets such as gas and water pipelines, wharves and bridges. Our cpVIEW module automates what has been largely a manual approach to CP system monitoring and verification. Our integrated hardware/software solution is Cloud based using hosted live data, automated processing and web portal reporting and alerts. Significant costs are saved and better outcomes achieved.
