The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is
making extensive use of energy sub-metering
systems and software from Elcomponent,
with equipment installed both at the BAS
UK HQ in Cambridge and at research
stations in the Antarctic.
The BAS Rothera research station derives all its electricity from on-site marine gas oil powered generator sets, with demand varying from 180kW in winter to 360kW in summer. To determine exactly where energy is being used, BAS has installed 10 Elcomponent sub-meters, with 14 more planned. Data is monitored at the Cambridge HQ via a satellite link.
