Protocol: Targeted Industry & Energy Supply 2018 (GRE)
ICP protocols are standardising the way energy efficiency projects are developed, documented and measured following best practice and involving independent verification. Protocols are NOT interfering with the technical side of projects. This TARGETED industry protocol is intended for simple, commonly used technologies. Such technologies will usually have consistent and predictable load profiles;…

Read Full Business PracticeHydraulic system - energy efficiency optimization
This paper describes the 4 step approach of KSB to optimize the energy efficiency of a hydraulic system. While focussing on the entire life-cycle, the aim is to lower operating costs. The approach starts with a system analysis to detect optimization potential and ends with usage of smart pump technology and services during operation - see also paper on industry 4.0 and smart pump technology. It…

An old saying in Ireland goes: ‘there is no strength without unity’. When it comes to distributed energy resources (DER ), it couldn’t be more true. DER, acting individually, has a very limited…
Read Full articleHow to sell complex products and services in energy efficiency market
Short article about German start-up Visual Selling. Their business is to create visual and digital communication (content) which helps companies to sell complex product and services. This is likely important in industrial energy efficiency markets as the time of just replacing a motor or a pump is coming to an end. Today the system perspective is more important - but also more complex to sell! For…
