Engineered Solutions Schneider Electric provides an engineered solution approach to your specific power system applications. Our total solutions for power monitoring and power system controls allow greater safety, reliability, and energy efficiency of your power systems. As a long standing industry leader in Power Monitoring and Control Systems, we understand your power system requirements and needs. All of our Engineered Solutions are tailored to your specific system requirements. Schneider Electric is your total solution provider. 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. The Benefits of Power and Energy Management 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. Power System Engineering The Square D Power System Engineering team offers a wide range of engineering services to improve the safety, efficiency and reliability of your power distribution system. The team is comprised of registered professional engineers, safety trained and equipped, to perform a variety of engineering functions. Power System Studies The Square D Power System Engineering Team provides expertise for a variety of electrical power system studies. Some of the more common system studies include: • Short-circuit analysis Arc Flash Analysis Square D offers on-site services to perform arc flash analysis for a facility, complex, office, or campus. An Arc flash analysis is used to determine: • Flash Protection Boundary • Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) • Low cost arc flash reduction methods • Reduce energy and operational costs • Improve power and equipment reliability • Optimize operations • Increase system capacity • Minimize expensive downtime • Meet sustainability goals • Improve productivity • Time-current coordination • Motor starting/voltage drop • Motor starting/torque-speed • Safe motor re-energization • Harmonic analysis • Transient analysis • Power factor correction analysis • Other system specific analysis
