Energy management software

The PowerLogic ION Enterprise 6.0 is a complete energy management solution for energy providers and industrial or commercial operations. It claims to help engineering and management personnel cut energy-related costs, avoid downtime and optimise equipment utilisation.

The software uses industry-standard network technologies, including ethernet and wireless, to automatically collect and store data from key electrical distribution points and physical assets. It forms a layer of energy intelligence across a facility, campus, service area or an entire enterprise, acting as a unified interface to electricity and other consumable resources such as water, compressed air, gas and steam. Web-enabled monitoring and reporting gives each user personalised access to timely, relevant information.

The system tracks real-time power conditions, analyses power quality and reliability, and responds quickly to alarms to avoid critical situations. It provides trends that might reveal energy waste or unused capacity, as well as verify efficiency improvements and allocate costs to buildings, departments or processes.

The software includes load aggregation and arithmetic calculation. Coordinated control capabilities can be used to manage demand or power factor and to manage loads or generators. Customised information is easily and seamlessly shared with all stakeholders and with other business and automation systems.

Version 6.0 of this system provides: standard device type for Sepam Protection Relays (Series 10, 20, 40, and 80); web-based reporting platform (Web Reporter) with new report templates; translation and localisation improvements - easier translation of user interface and reports; support for Windows 2008 Server Operating System and Microsoft Excel 2007; support for 64-bit Windows 2008 Server; and support for 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Server on 64-bit OS.
