Why the Inclusion of Timing Solutions on Your Circuit Board Is a Step Forward for Energy Efficiency
Engineers work tirelessly to ensure that the products they design meet the standards and expectations of today’s marketplace. One of the most important factors that an engineer considers is whether their product provides key features that will enable end users to achieve sustainability and energy conservation goals. There are many opportunities for engineers to design electronic products that empower users to make energy-related decisions. Additionally, there are several products (such as solar panels) that are clean-energy-generating solutions in and of themselves.
In either case, engineers will find that a frequency solution is necessary for sending and receiving information to make environmental initiatives possible. For example, ECS Inc. currently offers quartz crystal frequency control solutions for sale that are used to provide timing for energy-related products like thermostats and wind turbines.
Quartz Crystal Timing Solutions and Frequency Control for Efficiency-Enabling Products
Frequency begins with a resonator. Quartz crystal provides the perfect resonating surface for a strong, stable, clean frequency. When an engineer chooses to place any type of quartz crystal resonator in a circuit, they are making an investment in a high-performing, high-quality component to benefit their application.
Quartz crystal frequency control components are found in many of today’s energy conscious solutions such as home and industrial automation products that assist with energy consumption, as well as applications that generate power to meet energy-efficiency goals.
These three examples demonstrate how timing solutions contribute to a more conscious use of energy:
- Home and Building Automation: Homeowners and business owners want to ensure that their energy bills are not excessive for budgetary reasons. In addition, many of us want to do our part to limit our dependence on fossil fuels where we can. Products such as sensors that determine when there is activity in a building and can power on or shut down lighting require low power quartz crystal frequency control. Additionally, a quartz-crystal-based RTC can be used as a clock to power off certain systems, such as a programmable thermostat.
- Energy Companies: Energy companies use timing-based solutions to perform a number of functions that can help them protect their energy grid when necessary, as well as provide customers with data to help affect their decisions about how their home uses resources. For example, energy companies can directly limit the amount of power a residence or business can use to protect a taxed power grid, especially when there is significant use of energy during heat waves. The company can also receive information from a home’s meter about how much, when and even where energy is being used and send this data to customers as readable, easy-to-interpret content.
- Wind Turbines: Wind turbines contain sensors that monitor in real time how much energy is being stored, as well as how quickly and in what direction its blades are moving to achieve optimal performance and effectively acquire wind energy. The frequency-based systems in wind turbines are constantly calibrating, as this means of gathering energy is dynamic.
