Traditional motor vehicles use an internal combustion engine (ICE) powered from either petrol or diesel to generate power the vehicles electronics, electrical systems, and power train. Performance and running costs are typically measured in speeds up 60mph or 100kmph and the range the vehicle can reach in terms of typical miles per gallon (mpg) or tank range (miles).

Power factor is an energy related efficiency ratio for AC (alternating current) electrical loads and complete electrical installations. Power factor is the ratio between the real power measured in kilowatts (kW) and the apparent power measured in kVA consumed by an AC (alternating current) powered electrical device or electrical installation. The ratio therefore measures how efficiently electrical power (input) is converted into useful work (output) from the system being measured. The closer the measured power factor is to Unity (1) the more energy efficient the system.

Voltage stabilisation and voltage regulation are two inter-changeable terms referring to a power protection product set that includes power conditioners automatic voltage stabilisers (AVS) / automatic voltage regulators (AVR).

When you are looking to switch your energy supplier you can use a comparison site to try to find the best deal or a company like Renewable Energy Supplies. Energy comparison websites provide a good service if you just want to compare energy prices, but the prices are generally tailored towards smaller scale energy users. If you are larger user of energy and/or use more than one type of energy, then it pays to ask a company like Renewable Energy Supplies to investigate the right energy sources for your company or organisation before you switch.

A Building Energy Management System (BeMS) is a management system for the monitoring and control of energy usage within a building in order to improve energy efficiency. A BeMS works on the principle of a single-control loop and ‘what you don’t monitor, you cannot control’. ISO5001:2011 is an ISO certification standard for Energy Management Systems.

Voltage optimisation is the process of lowering the incoming mains power supply voltage, in areas with a high mains power supply voltage, to reduce the energy used by devices on a site. Voltage optimisation is a voltage reduction technique used in countries including the UK (and Japan) whose traditional mains power supply voltage was 240Vac before being harmonised within the European Union to 230Vac
