Overview

Against the backdrop of stricter EU energy efficiency directives (EPBD, CSRD) and rising energy prices, numerous factories, commercial buildings and European retail chain stores rely only on general incoming energy meters. Operators cannot obtain sub-circuit, zone and equipment-level energy consumption data, leading to invisible energy waste, ambiguous cost allocation and difficulties in energy compliance audit.

Acrel Energy Measurement Renovation Solution：

Provides lightweight retrofit for existing power distribution systems. Based on Acrel self-developed intelligent measuring instruments, IoT gateways and Acrel-EIoT cloud energy management platform, we deliver end-of-line energy data collection without large-scale wiring or long downtime. The solution realizes refined energy monitoring, consumption analysis, energy cost allocation and power safety early warning, helping customers achieve visible, manageable and controllable energy usage and meet European energy regulation requirements.

Core Hardware Selection 

Acrel adopts a cloud-edge-terminal three-layer architecture for energy measurement upgrade on existing distribution cabinets.

• Acrel Cloud koT Energy Managemenmt System

• Cloud Server 

• Smart Gateway:

• Energy Meter:

• Paired Split-core CT

The whole renovation features non-intrusive installation, short construction period and minimum interruption to daily business.

Platform Core Functions

✅ Real-time Multi-level Energy Monitoring Monitor voltage, current, power factor and energy consumption of each circuit, functional zone and single equipment. Centralized view for all chain stores and workshops.

✅ Multi-dimensional Energy Consumption Analysis Automatic daily/weekly/monthly energy reports; trend comparison, peak-valley load analysis; automatically identify abnormal power consumption and output energy-saving suggestions.

✅ Energy Billing & Cost Allocation Support independent energy statistics of different regions, stores and loads. Realize transparent cost split for internal assessment and tenant charging.

✅ Intelligent Early Warning System Custom threshold for overload, overcurrent, low power factor and abnormal energy consumption; push alarm via web, APP and email.

✅ Mobile & Web Multi-terminal Access Remote check data anytime via PC web dashboard and mobile APP.
