• i. Passive, AC Magnetic Induction Charging System for the purpose of (re)generative

harvesting of Magnetic Field for usable KW.

• ii. Of a Technology which averages 6% - 9% KWH Reduction for applications in Hotels

(International References), and more for Printing Press, Construction Operations, and Cold Room Facilities.

• iii. New Technology only applicable for AC Systems:
• Total Energy Content of DC Systems:
• (1) Work Done against resistance
• + (2) Work Done in Running Load
• Total Energy Content of AC Systems:
• (1) Work Done against resistance
• + (2) Work Done in running Load
• + (3) Work Done against inductance which is stored in magnetic field.
• i. The only way to extract/harvest this magnetic field energy is via

electromagnetic induction

• ii. Technology is widely available commercially but limited in

applications (wireless charging) 2. Energy Efficiency initiatives described with-in a Supply and Demand relationship. a. Design: Quality of Equipment (usually phase 1 of retrofit upgrades of old buildings)

• i. Changing of older chillers to newer chillers
• ii. Retrofitting single glazing façade to double glazing façade, low-E Glass, or Window Films.
• iii. F-Lamps to LED lights

b. Operational: Usage of Equipment (usually phase 2 of retrofit upgrades of old buildings)

• i. Motion Sensors
• ii. VFDs
• iii. Other Demand Response software

c. Supply: Quality of Supply (phase 3)

• i. Voltage Optimization products for variable stepping down of voltage (UK and TW)
• ii. Smart-Grid: Load Shifting
• iii. PV Panels
• iv. Other sources of Energy and Waste Recovery Technology.

d. Summary: These solutions help to scale down true demand of facility: Before After

Demand in KW 10 units 8 units Utility Supply in KW 10 units 8 units

3. Alternative Energy (AE) defined empirically a. Non AE: Supply = Demand: Energetically Closed System. Singular Source of Supply. b. AE: Supply from Grid < Totality of Real Power Demand, --- Criteria (*): Energetically Open System: Non- Singular Source of Supply. For example: Before After Remark

Demand in KW 10 units

10 units

Singular Energy Source Utility Supply in KW 10 units

8 units

Multiple Energy Source

c. can be achieved by the following,

• i. Running Genset
• ii. Solar Panels
• iii. Others? ->
• Regenerative Drives (i.e. KONE/Schindler Lifts that convert braking momentum to

Electricity). Source = Residual Momentum

• Regenerative Harvesting: Source = 50/60 Hz of supply
• NTU Case study: Chiller Unit. Two Point Coupling Measurement.

• Method: Time-Interval-Sampling
• Figure shows drop in Line Demand when module(s) is activated, while

Load Demand in KW and RLA is preserved at the same level.

• Further, note that Voltage does not decrease when modules are
• activated. Due to phase balancing, voltages tend to increase by 1Volt.
• Degree of KW Reduction depends on number of modules installed, but

does not equate to magnitude of saving.

• i. Example: NTU
• ii. Example: Trump Tower
• Time-Interval-Sampling only serves to show product works, but not how it

will work when fully implemented.

• Performance Guarantee can be worked out during project proper.

4. NTU Showcasing has successfully shown that product fulfils (*) Criteria that defines Alternative Energy. This result is non-ambiguous and replicable with the right metering in place. a. For installation on chiller units with its own display panel, it is possible to verify that the Line Demand drop is in tandem with

• i. preservation of Chiller RLA, and that the AE solution
• ii. Does not stave the compressor and lead to an increase in set temperature.

b. This chart is important because

• i. It describes an AE not in marketing language
• ii. But in empirically verifiable terms
• Replicable anytime:
• Same Meter Model: FLUKE AMPROBE DM-II PRO ENERGY DATA LOGGER
• Same Specifications
• Same Configuration

5. Such observations have been made independently by third parties such as CSA Group. 6. Other Third Part Verifications available: a. CSA: Product Functions as source of KW b. CE: Line Demand Reduction c. Eaton Cutler-Hammer: Line Demand Reduction d. UL and GSA: Line Demand Reduction e. Mitsubishi EDM: Power Quality Improvement f. AT&T Seakay: Surge Protection g. TUV-SUD America: Product Safety h. Project References (Satisfied Clients) Line Demand Reduction 7. Theory of Operation a. The product is not a Power Factor Correction Capacitor. It is a Passive, Magnetic Induction charging module with added PFC improvement function. This can easily be proven empirically. Point #4. b. It is helpful for clients and professional engineers to recall/be aware that

• i. Commercially Available: products with similar theory of application are already widely

available on the market. In other words, the theory is not new, but more and more widely and diversely applied. Regen Modules takes the concept, and adapts it for buildings, and C&I

• customers. (Same theory, new in application)
• ii. Graduate Research Publications: Induction of magnetic sources has been a hot academic

topic with accelerated research publication rate since 2008. c. Starting Question: In comparison to commercially available products which operates by the same

• theory. How does the following products operate?
• i. Electric Tooth Brush
• ii. Faraday’s Torchlight
• iii. iPhones with wireless charging
• iv. Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Updated: 22nd July, 2017 | www.epicasia.com.sg

• v. MIT’s Witricity Project

d. All these products are able to function due to inductive charging or Resonance Charging,

• i. Components: Transmitting and receiver coils are placed in close proximity, and are therefore

magnetically-coupled: where magnetic flux of one inductor passes through another inductor.

• ii. Transmitting Coils/Plates emit magnetic field when AC is passes through.
• iii. Voltage and current is being induced at 50/60hz frequency, depending on source AC.

e. Reiteration of Key Points:

• i. Similarities:
• Widely understood and accepted Theory of Operation
• Inductive charging is able to achieve Cordless/Cable-less Power Transmission
• What we have done is to take such a configuration and fitted both the

transmission reception Coils inside a module of such dimensions: 16” x 13” 8” (Zero-Floor Space)

• ii. Differences:

Existing Inductive Charging Regen TSRX Modules **Operating Brand for Asia Market

1 Designed to feed a specific load which the receiving induction plate is affixed to; be it EV, or toothbrush, etc. Non-Specific: distributes the induced Active Current to whichever Distribution Panel it is connected to. Minimums feeder amps per module required to ensure magnetic saturation for good performance. 2 Inductive Charging of receiver plates are connected to battery, therefore offers storage capability. No storage required: Instantaneous charging up (conversion of magnetic field to Electricity) and simultaneous releasing of active current for facility’s consumption. ‘ 3 Receiver plate is connected to a target load which consumes electricity. Receiver plate is not a load (Regen Modules do NOT consume electricity). Connected in parallel (only). Induces – charges up – and distributes. 4 None. Additional PQ Benefits:

• High Quality Surge Protection Device;
• Passive Harmonic Filter;
• Power Factor Improvement;
• Phase Balancing for 3-phase

applications;

• 12. Savings Estimation:

a. Quick rule of thumb is given by the formula: Savings = Kc/6 ------------------- Savings Estimation EQN

• i. Qc = Kc * P
• Qc

= Reactive Compensation Required

• Kc

= Coefficient of improvement (Starting and Ending Power Factor)
