Vancouver, B.C., Canada – Following its recent announcement of significant enhancements to its SmartGATE platform, Legend Power® Systems Inc. (TSX-V: LPS), a global leader in onsite energy management technology, has taken a key next step in finding and minimizing building-specific risk and waste created by the electric grid with the introduction of its SmartGATE Insights technology. It is available as a standalone diagnostic tool to prioritize areas of risk and waste across all buildings owned or operated by a customer. SmartGATE Insights is now built-in to new SmartGATE platforms, and, available as a retrofit to a customer’s existing SmartGATE to serve as the verification engine for energy efficiency and effectiveness.

A sophisticated metering and monitoring gateway, the breakthrough system captures in real-time, the major aspects of power quality from each inbound electrical feed. The system’s analytics engine then analyzes them to create a proprietary Power Quality Index (PQI) for client buildings. The PQI illustrates the impact of the known causes of equipment malfunctions, failures and inefficiencies. This includes a minute-by-minute capture of the hundreds of data points necessary to visualize major areas of power quality (voltage sags/swells, phase unbalance and over/under voltage).

The reporting shows key metrics in business and technical terms, effectively providing a diagnosis of the electrical “health” and building systems for the entire portfolio. Building owners or managers can see their exposure to avoidable risk and waste in kilowatt hours (kWh), in dollars, uptime and lifetime of key electrical systems, GHG emissions and much more.

“The engineering team have dedicated 10 years to making onsite power management technology a practical, viable solution for commercial-level application” said Legend Power Systems VP of Engineering, Mark Petersen. “It needed to deliver on power quality, energy efficiency and sustainability while also being compact, effective, reliable and affordable. I’m proud to say that the combination of SmartGATE Insights and SmartGATE checks all those boxes.”

The results from the SmartGATE Insights rollout across a customer’s portfolio of buildings allows Legend to recommend a comprehensive, prioritized risk and waste mitigation plan leveraging the optimal SmartGATE configurations across their buildings. SmartGATE’s combined proprietary intelligence and control technology then manages the ongoing power corrections in real-time, via electronic switching and an extremely efficient auto-transformer.

The PQI is available at a dedicated web portal or via download from the web interface. After full deployment, customers can access single building or “Portfolio” views (for multiple buildings) at a single log-in, and download summaries for the past month or year, or view live (real-time/cumulative).

SmartGATE Insights is available now and as a result of the initial deployment, it has been installed in 30 customer locations.

Vancouver, B.C., Canada – Legend Power® Systems (TSX-V: LPS) a global leader in onsite power management technology, is taking the next step in analyzing and improving building power quality with its next version of the company’s patented SmartGATE technology. Leveraging its energy efficiency expertise and heritage of customer-driven, continuous innovation, Legend is finalizing the release of a significant enhancement to its leading SmartGATE system. The updated product is scheduled for release in stages beginning Nov 15, 2019.

Designed as an enterprise solution, the SmartGATE platform addresses the additional major building challenges caused by poor power quality. The enhanced SmartGATE platform will transform commercial building power management by providing a single platform that analyzes the voltage coming into a building, then identifies and corrects or mitigates common building power quality challenges.

While building engineering and operations personnel have long been aware of the risks and waste of poor power quality entering unprotected buildings, available solutions were either too large to fit in a commercial building electrical room or too costly. Legend’s breakthrough technology is the only solution with a compact footprint that fits in the electrical room, and at a much lower cost than industrial systems. In addition, because of the sophisticated technology involved, (unlike largescale systems that consume as much as five percent more power while they assess), SmartGATE saves that much, or more, while fixing the most important elements of power quality.

“The enhanced SmartGATE platform leads with industry-grade metering and analytics that analyzes 38 power quality parameters, so the system knows exactly what to correct.” said Legend Power CEO Randy Buchamer. “SmartGATE’s combined proprietary intelligence and control technology then manages the actual power corrections in real-time via electronic switching and an extremely efficient auto-transformer. It will be the single biggest transformation to the electrical room in decades.”
