Energy Management Software

VRT Systems has provided services to government, commerce, industry and the resources sector in the area of Energy Management for over 20 years and more recently Greenhouse Gas reporting.
Our role is essentially to design and implement systems that improve our customer's energy efficiency and compliance with a plethora of legislation and government initiatives including:

  • Green Star
  • NABERS
  • EEO
  • EEGO
  • NGER
  • Mandatory Disclosure of Energy Efficiency

If any of these Government initiatives and legislation are relevant to your business, then VRT may be able to help. Our new solution offerings include: WAGES (Water, Air, Gas, Electricity and Steam), Monitoring and Reporting, Emissions Accounting, etc.
The question many organisations are now asking themselves is "What can sustainability initiatives do for my business?". VRT can help to deliver the answers.
Solutions can be provided with assistance from our partners or based on products and services that VRT has previously developed in-house.

EMS (Energy Management System)

As systems integrators for over 20 years, we have considerable expertise in the design and implementation of metering and monitoring systems to provide a complete energy management solution for your facility. These solutions cover the entire WAGES (Water, Air, Gas, Electricity and Steam) space. The software monitoring systems can be local or hosted remotely. We often partner with other companies to provide these solutions. VRT has been supplying and working with the SATEC range of power analysers and meters for the past 15 years. We have a multi-faceted relationship with Schneider and employ an Engineer trained by Schneider in the ION range of products.

Recently VRT has formed an on going relationship with CET, manufactured by China's leading energy systems integration organisation, and can now offer a product warranty of up to 5 years as part of our commitment to excellence. Our prefered software solution is CET's PecStar iEMS and its management reporting and dashboard module, iEEM.

VRT has traditionally drawn on existing products where they meet customer requirements, but in cases where vendor supplied products have been absent or inadequate, VRT has developed its own, e.g. the RUMS energy monitoring and GHG reporting system for Defence, the VRT WAGES Hub, an energy forecasting system for Xstrata, etc. The VRT WAGES Hub, is ideally suited to collecting data from a mix of pulse and memoryless power meters, cable and wireless connections, on multisite and campus types of facilities.

NCS (Network Control System)

This covers the management of the performance and integrity of the electrical supply system, as well as interfaces to related systems, e.g. generator control system, other co-gen and tri-gen systems, BMS, EMS, fire, security, etc. Our relationship with Schneider, particularly our Systems Integrator Partner relationship, enables us to implement highly integrated solutions incorporating Schneider products: SCADA, automation (PLC), power protection, power quality, intelligent switchgear, etc.

EAS (Emissions Accounting System)

VRT can deliver systems built to account for all of the 6 greenhouse gases and deliver reports meeting the NGER standard. It includes interfaces to EMS, plant historians and ERP systems, as well as facilities for importing spreadsheets and manually collected data.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) and ecoEducation Systems

The BIM concept is based on a single, through life 3D model and associated database. It covers: concept, design, construction, operations and maintenance. VRT has the technology to take this into the operations and maintenance phases of a building's life by connecting real-time data sources to the 3D models: EMS, NCS, BMS, etc. We can also integrate CCTV and documents linked to equipment in the model. Business applications are now being delivered based on 4D games technology and the latest Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation software. This integrated suite of technologies enables the creation of advanced HMI displays, visualisation, and immersive 3D environments, across a range of desktop, web and mobile devices. We can use this to deliver foyer displays and other highly realistic forms of ecoEducation.
