TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR ELECTRICITY

The DBi manages power consumption within the premises by means of prioritizing the power demand within the building.

SMART DBi

Smart Distribution Boards

For automatic Load sharing

What is Smart DB ?

• Automatic individual load sharing
• Automatic geyser controller
• Automatic light controller
• Automatic Pool filter controller
• Remote controller
• Automation system ( Smart Home)

How does Smart Db work ?

• Controlled by Programmable Logic Controller
• Analog and Digital Inputs and Outputs
• Customized programming
• Adaptive tuning
• Intelligent corrections
• The SDB is programmed to control the maximum demand of the individual house.
• The program will control the HVAC system according to the environmental conditions.
• Hot water systems will be controlled outside of peak periods.
• Automatic heating of water if there is additional use.
• Can be connected to the supply side to determine load sharing periods.

How is the SDB going to benefit the developer ?

• Will be able to develop the complex.
• Program can be adjusted according to the available electricity and the maximum amount of supply points.
• Supply electricity to the whole complex.
• Not exceeding Eskom’s maximum demand
• Offer an automated system as part of the building
• Guarantee Eskom a 50% saving on original requested maximum demand.
• Complex can be declared as “Green”
• Can offer full backup power for 4-8 hours

How is the SDB going to benefit the Owner ?

• Will be able to receive unit with enough electricity.( Automatic load-sharing)
• Save 30% to 50% of the normal electricity bill with SDB.
• SBD can control 360 as a back-up power system which will set at ease the mind from any power failures shorter then 4-8 hours.
• All electrical facilities can be controlled automatically.

How is the SDB going to benefit Eskom ?

• More electricity available for more new buildings.
• Reduction of peak loads
• Smoothing the demand cycle
• 3 Step remote control of maximum load
• ( Save 30%…50%…70% )

Future developments

• Share load between internal buildings.
• Inform grit of available load.
• SMS communications for owner remote control and monitoring.
• GPRS for grid communication and monitoring.
• Monitoring and reporting individual equipment’s energy consumption
