EMS provides access to real-time and historical system data using a standard web browser format.. EMS Solutions are designed to provide easy-to-understand information about a building’s energy consumption. The data generated serves as a solid framework for making smart energy management decisions to enhance building energy performance — and business competitiveness.
Power Quality and Reliability Analysis:
Pinpoint the sources of transients, harmonics, or sags, whether external or internal to your facility, and decide on the right corrective actions. By monitoring circuits 24 hours a day, you can develop strategies to avoid interruptions.
Cost Allocation and Billing:
Gain an accurate understanding of business expenses by tracking energy-related costs of each building, feeder, process or tool. Match virtually any billing structure and use comprehensive multi-year scheduling and time-of use activity profiles. Participate in real-time pricing and retail wheeling.
Load Studies and Circuit Optimization:
Trend information helps you use your electrical distribution system to full capacity and avoid over-design. Create usage profiles so you can distribute loads, avoid demand peaks and plan system expansion.
Demand and Power Factor Control:
Eliminate penalties through automated power factor correction, load shedding, or peak shaving.
Equipment Monitoring and Control:
Meter all your utilities including gas, steam, air and water. Implement automatic control based on combinations of conditions. Set up alarms to warn of pending problems or schedule maintenance. Interface with other energy management and SCADA systems through multiple communication channels and protocols.
Preventative Maintenance:
Base your maintenance schedule on actual operating history. Log events and alarms.
Features Summary:
