PowerControl@Industry    Meeting the high-availability and efficiency standards of power generation and distribution in industrial plants

PowerControl@Industry features modular functions for load management, generator control and energy monitoring as well as monitoring and control to help to ensure the stability and availability of power generation and power distribution in energy-intensive industries.

. The challenge In energy-intensive industrial sectors, high availability and efficiency of the power supply are crucial for minimizing costs and guaranteeing optimum performance. To meet these two key requirements, you need highly transparent information from the power system, optimum balance of energy import and in-plant power generation as well as immediate reaction to serious faults in the electrical network. PowerControl@Industry meets these challenges reliably and efficiently.

Our solution

PowerControl@Industry is a system platform that performs all necessary functions for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing power systems for industrial plants - reliably and cost optimized. Due to our Completely Integrated Solution (CIS) philosophy, all subfunctions are designed to be combined modularly and hassle-free. PowerControl@Industry uses the system- and engineering platform of the PCS 7 automation system, which has proven itself in the industrial environment. CIS-ESM - Electrical Switching and Monitoring The monitoring and control function module of PowerControl@Industry provides clear depiction of switchgear values and conditions. Furthermore CIS-ESM includes archiving of measured values, alarm and fault messages, as well as operating messages along with reporting functionality. For the specific requirements of energy automation, PowerControl@Industry also makes use of the innovative PCS 7 Faceplate technology, which has been expanded and optimized for CIS-ESM for optimum control of the switchgear. CIS-LMS - Intelligent Load Management CIS-LMS, the intelligent load management of PowerControl@Industry, maintains the power supply of essential parts of your production plant as far as possible when critical disturbances in the electrical power network arise. CIS-LMS contains the following functions: Fast load shedding in critical situations Power based Load shedding in case of operational overload Load inhibition for prevention of overloads on re-energizing load feeders CIS-PGS - Load-dependent Generator Control This element of the modular solution PowerControl@Industry operates as a superimposed control system and carries out the following essential tasks: Coupling of electrical networks Load balancing of active and reactive power Cos-phi limitation of generators Automatic frequency adjustment Generator synchronization Generator primary control CIS-EGS - Monitoring of energy import and prevention of consumption peaks CIS-EGS, the Energy Guard System of PowerControl@Industry, is the right answer if you need to permanently reduce your energy costs. Consumption peaks are efficiently prevented by monitoring and maintaining a power limit. This is done by smart control of allocated consumers. Simple prevention of consumption peaks Intelligent energy-consumption management Uniform consumer load
