The case of zero cost of electricity during high Photovoltaics production and the independent need for energy saving

The problem… During midday hours, when electricity production from Photovoltaics peaks, the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) price often drops to zero. However, this “free” energy never actually reaches the end consumer at zero cost. The culprit lies in the Uplift Accounts (LP2 & LP3), which spike exactly when RES production is high to ensure grid stability. This has a direct impact […]

Sustainable Energy Saving Upgrades for Commercial Buildings

The problem… In the modern business landscape, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword but a crucial aspect of responsible business operations. With growing concerns over climate change and rising energy costs, upgrading commercial buildings for energy efficiency has become a priority. This article explores key energy-saving upgrades that can significantly enhance the efficiency of commercial buildings, leading to cost […]

Energy Consumption Optimization in Buildings

The need… Nowadays the need to reduce energy consumption and operational costs often arises. Business owners and facility executives are always searching for the best and value-for-money solutions in order to cover these needs and also meet sustainability goals. Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC-R) systems are a very important sector considering that these systems typically account for 44% […]

Energy Upgrade in Refrigeration Projects

The problem… The food such as fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and other kinds, after harvest should be preserved and follow the growth process to be suitable for sale and consumption. The preservation of a food at a temperature lower than 15°C and higher the freezing start point is called freeze-preservation. The increase of the food-life through refrigeration is a result […]

Anti-corrosion protection in HVAC

The problem… In HVAC equipment, exposure to various elements in the environment can lead to localized and/or general corrosion of condenser, heating and cooling coils and all metal parts. Such corrosions may come from sea water influence (even in 4km distance), chemical environments, dust and extremely high or low temperatures. The use of improperly protected components in corrosive locations may […]
