Schneider announces enterprise energy management software

施耐德電氣推出企業能源管理軟件

May 15, 2007 — Schneider Electric announced the availability of its enterprise energy management (EEM) solution for industrial organizations, designed to help achieve higher energy efficiency, while reducing energy-related emissions, costs and downtime. The solution combines Square D PowerLogic ION EEM software with expert engineering services to deliver a customized set of energy modeling, dimensional analysis and visualization tools to stakeholders from finance to operations. Integrating electricity and piped utilities consumption, weather and real-time pricing feeds, as well as other relevant data inputs, the software reveals inefficiencies, tracks performance metrics and supports accurate budgeting exercises.

5月15日消息——施耐德電氣宣布為工業機構推出其企業能源管理(EEM)解決方案，用于幫助實現更高的能源效率，同時減少能源相關的排放、成本以及停工期。該解決方案綜合了美商實快電力（Square D）的PowerLogic ION企業能源管理軟件和專家技術服務， 從財務到操作方面為股東提供一套個性化的能源建模、因次分析和可視化的工具。通過整合電力和管道輸送的動力消耗指標、天氣和實時定價進給，以及其他相關的數據輸入，這套軟件可以顯示無效率的方面，跟蹤執行的衡量標準，以及支持精確的預算使用。

“Energy has a significant impact on the bottom line and, as economic and environmental challenges increase, companies are taking a closer look at how they purchase and use energy in their facilities,” said Cassie Quaintance, Schneider Electric Energy Market Segment Manager. “Schneider Electric’s new EEM technology unites business and energy strategies by giving managers a powerful dashboard for understanding the true drivers behind efficiency, cost and reliability. This helps corporate finance officers, energy program directors and plant managers collaborate on decisions, and share best practices that will sustain savings, meet emissions standards and boost productivity.”

施耐德電氣能源市場部經理Cassie Quaintance表示：“能源已經極大地影響到利潤，而且隨著經濟和環境挑戰的增加，許多公司現在更關注他們的工廠是如何購買和使用能源的。施耐德電氣的新EEM技術通過向管理者提供一個強大的儀表板以了解效率、成本和可靠性背后真正的推動者，從而統一了業務和能源戰略。這就幫助企業財務官員、能源計劃主管和工廠管理者共同作出決策，分享將維持節省、滿足排放標準和促進生產力的最有方法。”

The EEM system performs quality assurance on all data inputs. It then accurately models and normalizes energy usage patterns — benchmarking and comparing the performance of multiple facilities or processes to reveal savings opportunities and help managers set clear and achievable goals. A web-enabled dashboard presents key performance indicators to help programs stay on track and to validate the resulting return on investment of efficiency projects. A built-in rate engine supports accurate utility bill analysis, cost allocation, forecasting and rate comparisons to optimize energy procurement. The software also offers advanced power quality event classification, filtering and correlation to quickly isolate conditions that may be causing production disruptions or equipment damage.

該EEM系統在所有數據輸入執行著質量保證。然后精確地模擬和規范能源使用模式——標竿管理和比較若干設備和過程的績效，顯示節省機會，幫助管理者樹立明確的可完成的目標。可與網絡連接的儀表板顯示關鍵的績效指標，幫助程序保持跟蹤，確認效率項目投資的最終回報。一個內建的評估引擎支持精確的效用清單分析、成本分配、預測和評估比較，優化能源采購。該軟件還提供了高級電力質量事件分級、過濾和關聯，迅速隔離可能導致生產中斷或者設備損壞的情況。

PowerLogic ION EEM is a proven solution that delivers the actionable intelligence needed to support a complete energy and emissions management program, from the boardroom to the factory floor.

PowerLogic ION企業能源管理是一個經過證明的解決方案，從辦公室到工廠，提供支持一個完整的能源和排放管理計劃所需要的可執行的情報。
