Gatwick Airport Limited

Gatwick airport playing its part towards a more sustainable future reducing carbon emissions by 1,600 metric tonnes

Gatwick Airport installed iVolt units as part of a low voltage upgrade project that was completed in December 2012. The project consisted of two 800A/528 kVA units installed on C1 and C2 sections of the South Terminal. The C1 and C2 sections had an annual energy consumption of 3,597,000 kWh. The iVolt units, which are manufactured in the UK, are advanced voltage optimisation (VO) units that lower a building’s incoming power supply to the most efficient level, reducing power consumption, electricity bills, and carbon emissions by up to 20%.

Unlike other VO systems on the market, the iVolt units feature patent-pending technology that enables users to see the savings they are making directly through voltage optimisation, at any given time. This Intelligent Real Time Energy Monitor is an industry first and sets the iVolt unit apart from its competitors. The iVolt system works by adjusting the incoming voltage to ensure that the output is always fixed at 220V (+/- 1.5%), the level at which electrical equipment is designed to operate most efficiently. This results in a reduction of energy consumption by up to 20% and can save up to 30% more than fixed voltage reduction products. The iVolt units also boast advantages over other intelligent/variable systems as they provide clients with the ability to see their return on investment with accuracy and in a short period of time.
