Nemometrics is a company that received a STTR Phase II grant for a project entitled: Nonintrusive Electrical Monitor (NEMO). Their project will develop and qualify a Non-Intrusive Electrical Monitor product (NEMO) to provide inexpensive, accurate, in depth monitoring of electrical usage, permit expanded energy savings and provide additional information, like potential equipment faults and failures. NEMO increases the amounts and kinds of diagnostic information that can be gleaned from a single set of electrical measurements, thus lowering the cost of monitoring building energy management systems. By analyzing the transient signatures produced when different electrical equipment draws power, NEMO can identify which of multiple loads turn on and off and assess their condition. The objectives of the research are to determine: the reliability of NEMO algorithms in the presence of multiple loads, prioritize several possible diagnostic analyses for the commercial product, and maximize the automation of NEMO data analysis while minimizing the need for human scrutiny and intervention. Phase I demonstrated the value of NEMO systems in monitoring and diagnostics with air conditioning units. The Phase II research plan calls for continuing the development work and installation of a qualified prototype in commercial buildings. Data analysis will reveal inefficiencies in building operation and effectiveness of the algorithms themselves. This project will develop a system for non-intrusive detection and identification of multiple electrical loads with major energy conservation and other benefits. Time of use data can be used to create new automated algorithms that minimize energy use and optimize heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system operation without affecting occupant comfort, while electrical health diagnostics can signal when a motor is nearing failure or a valve has jammed. A reduction in the cost of in-depth monitoring allows more commercial facilities to reap energy and maintenance savings from these algorithms and the NEMO product that contains them. Actual measurement rather than estimation of initial and ongoing electrical power consumption of electrical equipment within a commercial building enables verification of upgrade performance. It also facilitates design and operation of intelligent, energy efficient buildings and assists in attaining Leadership in Energy Efficient Design (LEEDTM) certification. By promoting energy efficiency in buildings, NEMO will enable customers to reduce their energy costs, reduce or eliminated unscheduled maintenance and increase profitability.

Starting with automated transit systems (subway, ART system, monorail, people movers, etc.), Clarian has developed technologies to provide real-time optimization of energy consumption using rate control and power modulation technologies that supplement existing safety-critical onboard and wayside ATC controls as well enable presence-awareness in vehicles so that they can operate in unison, rather than autonomously as they do today. These capabilities in turn create broader network energy efficiencies, smoother ride and reduced wear and tear, increased capacity, and reduced rolling stock and power infrastructure requirements.As part of its research and development efforts, Clarian has developed a suite of energy modeling and simulation tools. These tools can be used by transit agencies and/or system operators as part of either the design process or operational configuration to optimize or re-configure existing operations to begin realizing immediate energy cost-savings.

Hexaformer's technology aims to make it possible to manufacture closed symmetrical delta shaped transformer cores. Per the company, it does this by winding the transformer core instead of stacking sheets of metal. The benefits according to the company of this design to transformers include: a lower load loss, lighter, smaller volume, less vibrations, less noise, smaller electromagnetic stray fields, lower inrush current, and no third harmonic. The same type of technology is also used in the Hexaformer reactors for phase compensation. These cores are also wound to a triangular shape on which three coils are mounted to make the solutions small, yet efficient. The benefits per Hexaformer of this transformer technology include reducing the losses in the electricity grid as well as lowering the cost of operation and maintenance by 5% to 15% compared to traditional transformers.
