Enersize Secures European Patent for Model-Based SEC Analysis – Requires Only Compressor Type and Rated Power
Enersize today announces that the European Patent Office (EPO) has issued an Intention to Grant for the company’s patent application covering Modellation, a model-based and user-friendly calculation method for creating a digital representation of energy performance in compressed air systems. The patent covers the construction of nominal SEC curves, the calculation of ideal operating points, and the identification of energy-related deviations. This strengthens Enersize’s intellectual property protection in Europe and complements the company’s previously granted patents in the same domain.
Modellation complements Enersize’s previously allowed patents Visualization and Fair Consumption, and forms one of the cornerstones of the company’s methodological platform for advanced energy analytics in compressed air systems.
“The methodology fundamentally requires only compressor type and rated power as input data and can still deliver very high modelling accuracy. When this calculated model is then overlaid with actual measurement data, as described in our Visualization patent, we obtain a detailed and dynamic picture of real energy performance and system behaviour. The combination of these two patents creates a technical capability that is unique in the industry,” says Fredrik Arrigucci, CEO of Enersize.
Enersize is now developing a flexible implementation method for model-based SEC analysis, adapted to all types of relevant system platforms, such as:
• centralized compressor control and monitoring systems
• energy monitoring and management systems
• process and building automation systems (DCS/SCADA/BMS)
• cloud-based analytics platforms
The company has initiated dialogues with potential OEM partners with the ambition to establish a strategic collaboration that strengthens the utilization of the patent portfolio and enables broad industrial adoption.
