KLG Systel Ltd. has announced the launch of the CG3.10 Series Energy Management System Platform under its brand ConnectGaia. Powered by the Intel Atom processor and supported by Intel Hyper Threading technology, the ConnectGaia platform heralds a new era of Energy Management Solutions that allows efficient management of complex power-consuming devices, thereby providing financial and environmental benefits.

The ConnectGaia platform is an intelligent energy management system that allows power consumers to measure, visualize, analyze and control remote systems such as water pumps in the field, in real-time. The ConnectGaia system, based on the Intel®Atom™processor, leverages advanced metering, wireless sensors, IP communication and a robust IT backbone to bring intelligence into electricity consumption. The platform provides consumers with information on their electricity usage to help them visualize their consumption patterns during peak hours. This will help identify potential opportunities to reduce utility bills, whilst relieving some of the burden on power plants and distribution lines.

“We have used the Intel®Atom™ processor to create a state-of-the art energy management system platform which provides enhanced web-enabled visualization, analysis and control of a remote system from a single board”, said Kumud Goel, Managing Director, KLG Systel Ltd.
 
Commenting on the launch, Sanat Rao, Marketing Director (Emerging Markets), Embedded and Communications Group, Intel South Asia, said: “The Intel®Atom™ processor is a low-power, high performance solution ideal for embedded applications such as KLG Systel’s CG3.10 Energy Management Platform.  With the KLG Systel platform, customers will enjoy a seamless always on, always connected experience with built-in security.”

The ConnectGaia solution has an in-built digital switch, which can be used to remotely switch equipment on or off, depending on each user’s unique requirements. This feature can turn off equipment when not needed; for example - deactivating a lathe machine that is running under its average load. . The platform also includes a ‘scheduler’, which allows scheduling of equipment operation to optimize power usage. For example, staggering the activation of several pumps to ensure the maximum utility draw does not exceed the contractual limit. The device also provides the user with alerts in instances of abnormal behavior of a particular electrical or process device, such as poor motor loading or a lower than average temperature of an air-conditioned space.

The Connect-Gaia platform is a comprehensive energy management system which provides the consumer with reports to compare energy consumption between different days, weeks or months, perform load forecasting and schedule operations to optimize their energy usage
