HIGH FREQUENCY ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
As energy related costs continue to soar, hundreds of energy management systems (EMS) have entered the marketplace. Many of these EMS have been of limited effectiveness, costly in terms of installation and maintenance, while offering a long payback period. Recently, due to the technological advances in microcomputers and microelectronic circuitry, a new EMS has emerged that can produce a programmable, effective systems network and offer rapid payback periods. This paper addresses the emergence, operation and impact of the recent energy management systems that transmit high frequency signals through existing power lines to automatically control lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and other energy related processes that are prevalent in today's environment. An examination is given on installations of these systems and problems that may be encountered. This paper then concludes with the results that have been achieved with these systems.
