Power management with powermanager
Siemens offers the powermanager software application, which is designed for power and
plant monitoring applications. When used in conjunction with SENTRON measuring devices
such as 3VA, 3WL, 3VL and PAC as well as equipment supplied by third parties,
powermanager is a power monitoring system that reduces energy costs and increases the
availability of electrical supply and distribution systems.
powermanager acquires the measured variables that are needed to optimize power
consumption and so reduce costs. These variables not only include energy and power
values, but also electrical parameters such as current, voltage, or power factor. Not only is
this system able to display values, but also to monitor and archive them for later analysis. In
addition, the load monitoring function is capable of monitoring a specified setpoint and
making recommendations as to which loads should be connected and disconnected.
Identifying savings potential
The power monitoring software has been tested by the TÜV Rheinland for its suitability to
support a power management system in accordance with ISO 50001.
Functionality and user-friendliness
The salient features and functions of the power monitoring software are as follows:
●
● Enhanced report templates
● Response plans
● Mass parameterization
● Virtual measuring points for computing customer-specific parameters
● Load monitoring function for monitoring specified power limits for freely definable time
periods
● Switching recommendations in the event of limit violations
● Remote control of circuit breakers
