The Solution
Greater reliability and efficiency with EcoStruxure Grid and EcoStruxure Building
Apps, Analytics & Services: EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor, eValvomo (cloud service)
Edge Control: EcoStruxure Energy Expert, EcoStruxure Building Operation
Connected Products: SmartX IP controllers, sensors, VAMP protection relays, PM energy meters, Canalis busways, Masterpact Air circuit breakers, Altivar Process, ATV 212, Modicon M340, M221, M171, M172, Magelis HMI
• An integrated EcoStruxure Grid and EcoStruxure Building solution combining a comprehensive building management system with a microgrid.
• An advanced management system for cooling and heating, enabling the excess heat from the cooling to be stored and used when the weather gets colder.
• A microgrid solution with energy storage, supported by EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor that collects, forecasts and optimises the operation of on-site resources using real-time data and predictive machine learning algorithms.
