The powerrate application is a cost effective and modular power management system to ensures future economical and efficient utilization of energy resources. SIMATIC WinCC/PCS 7 powerrate provides this solution with an overview of a system’s power consumption through complete integration into existing SIMATIC SCADA systems.
Benefits:
Power values are standardized, visualized and archived as average values and are time stamped according to the selected period.
Evaluations of standard load curves, visualized via WinCC/PCS 7, provide the user with a fast and detailed overview of consumption values.
Using the macros in the WinCC /PCS 7 powerrate software, Excel reports can be easily designed showing allocation of energy costs over multiple cost centers.
These reports will allow consumption or accrued costs to be compared and analyzed for potential energy savings.
The integrated load management function assures that the overall power consumption of a plant stays below the KW demand target.
This could avoid costly demand penalties and lower the overall energy bill.
Up to 100 loads can be controlled using the settings in the priority list.
Specific setpoints for the loads, such as, min/max ON or OFF times or nominal energy consumption can be set up in the faceplates of the HMI system.
Features:
Basic Power Monitoring can also be accomplished by manually integrating the Siemens PAC meters using their associated GSD files.
The data screens will be configured using the standard WinCC tools or this method.
Full Siemens PAC meter integration is supplied with the SIMATIC PCS 7 Library PAC meters, providing a fast and easy integration solution.
This device specific add-on software provides SIMATIC S7 function blocks already constructed and pre-configured faceplates for all PAC meter values.
Built in reports for Load Analysis and Sub-billing.
Step-by-step tools for easy set-up.
Data log viewing for customized trending.
