Power monitoring and control system may be of high benefice for the operator or the
owner of an electrical network.
Companies are moving faster and faster, the use of building facilities either.
An electrical network has then to face successive generation of needs, which will
lead to many load evolutions but also certainly to associated services evolutions for example, tracking the costs due to higher level of competition.
Even if the decision is to invest later, the design of the network has to take into
account that using a monitoring system will happen eventually, and then it will be a
competitive advantage if the Equipment has anticipated its integration.
Nowadays, entering the Power monitoring and control approach doesnt mean
setting-up a complex and expensive system.
Some simplest features are really affordable with a very good payback because they
can be directly embedded in your Power Equipment.
Such system may simply share the communication medium of the users Intranet site.
In addition operation wont ask specific skills and training. It will only require the use
of license-free software such as Intranet browsers.
Upgradability is also now a reality, based on new technologies that come for the
Office and Communication world (you can now run multiple protocols on the same
medium, the legacy and the new one). Then being in a position of taking advantages
of these new possibilities will be more and more a differentiating behaviour.

Here are some examples of the main usage of the simplest monitoring systems :
c Benchmark between zones to detect abnormal consumption
c Track unexpected consumption
c Ensure that power consumption is not higher that your competitors
c Choose the right Power delivery contract with the Power Utility
c Set-up simple load-shedding just focusing on optimising manageable loads such
as lights
c Be in a position to ask for damage compensation due to non-quality delivery from
the Power Utilities The process has been stopped because of a sag on the
network.
