Powerstar LITE Undergoes Successful Laboratory Testing

SHEFFIELD, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Powerstar, the market-leading energy storage and voltage optimisation
brand, is pleased to announce the Powerstar LITE voltage optimisation
system has been successfully tested under laboratory conditions by the
Energy Efficiency Consultancy Limited (EECO2), for the pharmaceutical
industry.

Conducted by EECO2 – the leading international provider of researched,
tested and proven engineering efficiency solutions for the
pharmaceutical, biotech and other high-tech industries – the recent
study highlights that the Powerstar solution delivers tangible savings
on new plant equipment thanks to the patented design.

The results highlighted that energy efficiency savings accounted for
approximately 19 to 20 per cent of the total savings achieved, with the
negative power (back EMF), generating four times this amount – the
equivalent of 80 to 81 per cent of the total savings achieved.

Given continuing advancements to increase the performance and efficiency
of electrical equipment, the results are impressive, particularly as the
pharmaceutical industry is renowned the world over for using the most
up-to-date equipment.

What is also particularly interesting is the tests demonstrate that the
largest savings are achieved by Powerstar’s patented design. Whilst
similar in principle and application to other voltage optimisation
systems, the clever design delivers additional savings.

In essence, any excess voltage above the set-point is subtracted from
the input voltage, resulting in the generation of negative power (back
EMF), which flows towards the supply and is subtracted from the incoming
power. The reduction of power consumed is seen in actual kWh savings.

Dr. Alex Mardapittas, chief executive officer for Powerstar, said: “This
test, alongside the recently completed test by the American Electrical
Power (AEP) at the world-renowned Dolan research centre, highlight the
additional benefits of installing a Powerstar voltage optimisation
solution.”

Dr. Mardapittas added: “As a long-standing market leader in voltage
optimisation technology, we are happy to have independent reports
commissioned, as they further underpin not only the additional benefits
of our solutions, but also our knowledge and understanding of the
market. It is possible for sites that experience overvoltage, which most
do, to generate energy savings by using bespoke engineered voltage
optimisation solutions.”
