• Power management solutions helps in ensuring that
  your electrical distribution systems, along with
  the assets attached to them, operate in a safe,
  dependable, efficient, and compliant manner. They
  can assist you by 
• Improve uptime by avoiding unplanned outages 
• Reduce energy costs 
• Optimize maintenance and get more life from
  electrical assets 
• Simplify gaining and maintaining compliance to
  standards, regulations, and legislation for
  things such as energy management, carbon
  emissions, and power quality 
• Recover from outages more quickly and safely 
• Avoid electrical fires and prevent shock 
•  
• Why do you require power management? There is an
  easy solution. It is because of the complexity
  increase in electrical systems. 
• There are more loads and more power-sensitive
  processes. Both distributed power sources and
  loads come in a wider variety. The size and power
  density and the criticality of many types of
  facilities are growing. The requirement for
  thorough monitoring to keep track of current
  electrical conditions throughout your power
  distribution system is much needed.

Any building whose operations depend on the
infrastructure for electrical distribution
supplying reliable power at all times.  In fact,
any company that wants to maintain its
operational effectiveness and competitiveness.
This can include both substantial and important
facilities (such as hospitals, data centres,
airports, telecom, and so forth) as well as
manufacturing facilities, office buildings, and
campuses.    How does it help your facility?  The
most recent power management solutions provide
extensive capability to address several crucial
applications pertinent to all kinds of
facilities.  Power and energy analysis
technologies have significantly improved in
recent years, making them easier for facility
teams to use. Operations and facility teams may
now identify opportunities and threats more
quickly and take action.  Here is a quick
overview of the applications that your team would
typically handle with a power management system

• Electrical system health and efficiency 
• You can increase efficiency, prevent overloads,
  and spot any potential problems in loads like
  motors by continuously checking that the three
  phases of electricity are balanced on every
  section of your distribution system. Grounding
  issues and energy waste can be found by checking
  for excessive neutral current. Another metric
  that needs to be assessed is power factor, as a
  low number suggests energy wastage. You might
  need to take corrective action, like installing a
  capacitor bank, because it can also result in a
  fee on your electricity account. 
• Capacity management 
• Finding circuits that are more highly loaded or,
  worse yet, at risk of overloading and tripping
  breakers can be done by analysing historical
  trends. When running a critical facility with
  backup power systems, like hospitals or data
  centres, this is very important. Additionally,
  you can determine if any circuits have unused
  additional capacity that can be employed for load
  balancing or to affordably handle dynamic
  situations with frequent facility or process
  expansions.
