Power Leader Power Management System - GE AKD-10 Application Manual

POWER LEADER
Power management at its best
Inside every switchgear lineup flows a large amount of
information. The data is in the form of power (volts, amps,
waveforms) passing through the equipment. With the proper
devices and GE Enervista Power Management Control
System (PMCS), you can selectively access this wealth of
information. PMCS software is the easy-to-use software
package that turns a desktop computer into a virtual window
for tracking and controlling facility power. This system can
help you increase productivity, decrease downtime, improve
predictive maintenance, increase facility safety and diagnose
power quality problems. With just a few clicks of a mouse,
you can gain real-time access to the family of GE Multilin
™
and POWER LEADER devices and most third party devices
or systems. With PMCS's powerful analytical tools, you can
perform advanced power quality analysis, monitor energy
consumption, and even manage loads. These features are
all available through sophisticated graphics and a highly
intuitive interface. Enervista PMCS is both ModBusRTU
ModbusTCPIP Ethernet compatible. It all adds up to the most
flexible, open-architecture, high-performance power man-
agement system available today.
Additional features include:
• Built on the market-leading, industry-standard SCADA
software, CIMPLICITY and InTouch
• Easy integration to existing SCADA/DCS systems using
published protocols (OPC and DDE)
• Dynamic, real-time graphic displays of component status
and operation
• Extensive device library
• Sophisticated waveform analysis tools
• Comprehensive alarm and event reporting to immediately
diagnose electrical system problems
• Energy cost management
• Predictive maintenance
• Power quality analysis
• Technical assistance, start-up support and on-site training

It should come as no surprise that virtually all switchgear is
now shipped with power management features.
Software options include the Enervista Energy Aggregator
module, which is offered separately or as an add-on to the
PMCS system. This package allows the user to look into
energy cost management and facility power quality.
New Suite of EPM and PQM devices
We are proud to announce the introduction of the latest
suite of high technology EPM devices: EPM 6000 series and
EPM 9000 series. These devices boast a broad range of
capabilities for a variety of uses including: usage monitoring,
cost allocation, load monitoring, demand tracking, common
couplings with utilities, load and process control, and power
quality monitoring. This range of products has solid repre-
sentation on the moderate range of the metering spectrum,
providing solutions for panel mount and submetering appli-
cations (EPM 6000), as well as on the high end of the power
®
and
quality spectrum (EPM 9450Q and 9650Q). These newly
introduced meters greatly enhance GE's PowerLeader
portfolio, from both price and functionality standpoints. The
GE Power Quality Meter System, PQM II, is also available for
applications requiring a feature set between the EPM 6000
and EPM 9000 offerings.
