User manual SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC POWERLOGIC IONE

[. . . ] The software forms a layer of energy intelligence across your facility, campus, service area, or your entire enterprise, acting as a unified interface to all electrical and piped utilities. PE86095 Typical applications PowerLogic ION EnterpriseTM PowerLogic ION Enterprise software has many applications: b Reduce peak demand surcharges and power factor penalties b Enable participation in load curtailment programs (e. g. demand response) b Verify that power quality complies with the energy contract b Verify the reliable operation of equipment b Improve response to power quality-related problems b Leverage existing infrastructure capacity and avoid over-building b Support proactive maintenance to prolong asset life For electric utilities: b Improve T&D network reliability b Enhance substation automation b Maximise the use of existing infrastructure b Verify compliance with new power quality standards b Analyse and isolate the source of power quality problems b Help customers manage reliability using operational and power quality data PE86097 Scalable, flexible architecture b b b b b Grow to hundreds of metering points Add distributed servers and clients Use modular programming for complex processing and control Integrate legacy and third-party devices Leverage and optimise existing infrastructure Functional components of ION Enterprise. Functional components The functional components of PowerLogic ION Enterprise software can reside on the main server or on one or more workstations. b Management Console v Use this component to configure your PowerLogic ION Enterprise network, including communication paths, devices and logical groups b Designer v Designer allows you to customise the modular functionality of your ION devices and Virtual Processors b Vista v Offers real-time displays of measurements and status indicators; power quality analysis; historical trending; alarms; and manual control b Web Reporter v Produces predefined or custom reports and offers support for third-party reporting tools Data acquisition and management b Virtual Processor v The Virtual Processor performs multi-site aggregation; coordinated control; complex calculations and alarming; and logging for non-recording devices (e. g. b Site Server v Continuous or scheduled retrieval of data from up to hundreds of remote devices over Internet, Ethernet, telephone, serial, wireless, or satellite connections. [. . . ] Add and configure direct communications with remote devices over Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP protocols using easy-to-use device templates. Scalable platform enables remote device and user client addition as needs grow while maintaining original investment. Integrate other energy management or automation systems (e. g. SCADA, BAC, DCS, ERP) through ODBC, XML, OPC, email, FTP, CSV and PQDIF compliance; integrate with web services through XML. Alarms and events PowerLogic ION Enterprise software allows you to receive alerts to outages or impending problems that could lead to equipment stress, failures, or downtime. b b b b b b Trigger on complex conditions Generate & distribute alarm notifications Log all relevant data sequence of events for diagnosis Flag & avert potential problems Alert key personnel 24/7 Optimise maintenance scheduling PE86099 Respond to a notification, then click an on-screen indicator to retrieve the time, location, and nature of the event. Click again to study waveforms, tolerance curves or a report. Manual and automated control Perform fast, manual control operations by clicking on-screen trigger buttons, and operate remote breakers, relays, and other power distribution and mitigation equipment. b b b b b Perform manual or setpoint-triggered functions Coordinate control of multiple loads, generators, relays, etc. Support energy-saving applications Manage distributed energy assets Automate substations & reduce service time PE86125 Web portal b Allow multi-user access b Use multi-level security checks Control loads, generation, and power quality mitigation equipment across your enterprise or service area. Optimise switching with the latest status and base loading data. 4 Version 4. 0 432E3040. indd Communication and supervision PowerLogic ION EnterpriseTM Functions and characteristics (cont. ) PE86101 Real-time monitoring View, from any local or globally located workstation, key distribution points across one or more facilities or substations. b Collect system-wide data b Perform calculations, display and log derived data b Customise views of data ­ digital figures, dials, bar or trend graphs, one-line diagrams, etc. b Communicate over Internet, Ethernet, wireless Desktop access to power system information from any department, building or region. Graphical views of relevant, actionable information customised for each user. PE86102 Trend analysis Trend any parameter to reveal demand peaks and track system-wide energy costs. b b b b b Graph any combination of measured parameters Aggregate loads Identify dangerous trends and redistribute loads Optimise network capacity and avoid over-building Avoid peak demand surcharges and power factor penalties Allocate costs, consolidate billing or negotiate contract volume pricing. Assure compliance with PQ standards and verify the results of operational improvements. Interoperability b Integrate all energy management and automation systems (SCADA, BAC, DCS, ERP, etc. ) b Share data with third-party SCADA, automation, and accounting systems b Comply with ODBC, OPC, and PQDIF standards PE86103 Support load studies or expansion planning, optimise equipment use by maximising capacity or balancing loads. Reveal critical trends, expensive processes or energy waste. 432E3040. indd Version 4. 0 5 Communication and supervision PowerLogic ION EnterpriseTM Functions and characteristics (cont. ) Power quality analysis PowerLogic ION Enterprise software allows continuous, wide-area monitoring and data capture for power quality and reliability conditions. IEC 61000-4-30 and EN50160 compliance reporting verifies power quality performance to international standards and allows you to quickly review power quality indices as numeric charts or graphic profiles (requires PowerLogic ION7650 meters or other devices that support compliance monitoring). Display harmonic histograms, odd/even harmonics, THD, K-factor, crest factor, phasor diagrams, and symmetrical components. [. . . ] b Database server: PowerLogic ION Enterprise can install SQL Server 2005 Express on the Primary Server and automatically set up the databases on that computer. Note: SQL Server 2005 Express has database size limitations. Databases over 4 GB require SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on the Primary Server, or on a separate server optimised for disk capacity and performance. SQL Server 2000 and MSDE are not supported.
