Schneider Electric launches three-step energy management Smart Panel system

February 2015 Electrical Power & Protection

Schneider Electric has announced the local availability of a Smart Panel system that will assist in fostering sustainable energy savings in small to mid-size buildings, such as public and commercial offices, retail premises and hotels.

Founded on Schneider Electric’s energy management principle of ‘measure, understand and save’, the Smart Panel is an easy-to-deploy solution that addresses the urgent need to cut energy costs and meet regulations for green buildings.

‘Measure and collect’ is the first step, with the automation of energy consumption metering at source. Over the last decade, Schneider Electric has revolutionised low voltage switchboard technology to produce the Smart Panel, which is intelligently embedded with metering, control and communication capabilities. It not only simplifies daily operations, but also eliminates the traditional error-prone manual data gathering.

The second step, ‘collect to understand’, is enabled by the Energy Server Com’X 200, a smart data-logger that gives timely and secure access to the consolidated energy data.

As facility managers need access to energy analyses to execute the third step, ‘understand and save’, Schneider Electric says that its StruxureWare Energy Operation service helps deliver energy savings and identify areas for continuous energy efficiency. As a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, Energy Operation is cost-effective and users have access to the tailored-to-audience reports from anywhere and at any time for informed actions in order to meet energy goals.
