The need for new forms of energy has never been more important or more pressing. As the world faces the impact of global climate change, the buzzword has become ‘smart’ energy – and at Vesternet, we take this issue very seriously indeed.

We offer a full range of wireless energy saving tools, from electricity monitors to thermostats, packages & accessories.

The ubiquitous ‘stand by’ function on most modern household goods is the bane of anyone who wants to do their bit for the environment and save money on energy bills. Now, thanks to a leap forward in technology, the days of wandering around at night switching everything off could become a thing of the past.


Smart energy – intelligent power supply

A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using two-way digital technology. This controls appliances at the end-user point by incorporating an intelligent monitoring system that keeps track of all electricity flowing into the system.  It also uses superconductive transmission lines, reducing the amount of power loss and wastage. Smart energy grids also allow for the incorporation of renewable energy sources into the grid system. 


Incorporating Smart Energy into your home

A home area network (HAN) works in tandem with a smart energy grid, utilising the power more efficiently than home equipment in standard operation.  Technologies such as ZigBee can connect into the smart grid, reducing power consumption and effectively delivering power only when and where needed.

The potential savings for both the utility companies and end users are enormous, and with growing pressure on everyone to reduce the amount of energy they use, smart energy is set to become the catalyst for future global Co2 reductions.
