Honda Canada Reduces Power Costs by 6%
Honda Canada’s facility in Richmond British Columbia is a 127,000 ft2 distribution warehouse serving Honda Canada’s West Coast operations. Standard operating hours at Honda Canada’s warehouse are between 8:00AM and 8:00PM Monday to Friday, averaging 60 hours of operation per week. Prior to installing an electrical Harmonizer- AVR, Honda Canada’s warehouse consumed 1,331,520 kWh annually with a peak demand of 355 kW. For the purpose of this case study, these numbers will be used a benchmark for energy consumption.
In 2007, Legend Power completed a beta installation of a 500 amp Electrical Harmonizer-AVR to help reduce Honda Canada’s electrical energy consumption. After completing the installation, initial measurement and verification found Honda Canada had successfully saved electrical energy. In 2009, Legend Power completed a technical review of this project to verify that the Electrical Harmonizer-AVR installed in 2007 is still effectively saving electrical energy.
