The Basics of a Comprehensive Power and Energy Management System
Measure: Gather energy and power data throughout your facility. Stand-alone or embedded meters measure, collect, and deliver essential data from key distribution points across your entire electrical network.
Understand: Turn data into actionable information. Power management software brings intelligent analytics and visualization to power and energy data.
Act: Use actionable information to make intelligent decisions and operational shifts to create change or correct issues.

Power System Control Applications
Automated solutions for increased Reliability and Energy Efficiency: Schneider Electric engineers provide Power System Control Applications with automated solutions for addressing your system reliability and efficiency control needs. Our offer covers Automatic Throwover Schemes, Load Shedding/Peak Shaving, and Load Preservation and Mircrogrids.
-
Automatic Throwover Systems – Automatic selection of available utility or generator sources to maintain service continuity to connected loads.
-
Load Shedding/Peak Shaving – Control peak demand levels or ensure service continuity to critical load or operate breakers in accordance with user specified sequences and time delays such as bringing large motors online across several billing kw demand periods to avoid demand penalties.
-
Load Preservation – Fast acting sophisticated control systems designed to stabilize critical power systems to the greatest extent possible by monitoring frequency and power sources from utility plus generator capacity versus total circuit load.

Total Energy Control
Schneider Electric Certified Energy Managers (CEM’s) work on-site with knowledgeable plant personnel to develop a long-term, comprehensive, “Energy Action Plan”, that serves as the blueprint for energy savings. Unlike performance contracts or one-time energy audits, the Total Energy ControlSM program offers a strategic partnership for energy-intensive industrials who want to improve energy efficiency.
Total Energy Control
-
Utility Analysis: evaluating both the commodity supply side and the demand side areas of the operation.
-
Demand Side Usage: profiling facility loads and consumption patterns.
-
Opportunity Identification / Prioritization: projects that make sense today and those that should be considered in the future as energy prices change.
-
Project Implementation: Client can choose which projects to implement or Square D can provide turn-key implementation.
-
Supply Management: forecasting and making adjustments to reflect current conditions.
-
On-Going Accountability: accountable along with you for the ongoing success of your energy plan.
