Advantages through energy efficiency

Overview of the energy management process

We offer you a unique portfolio for efficient energy management in the industry – a process that is used to optimize the energy requirements. We divide operational energy management into the three phases: identification, evaluation and implementation, and support you with suitable hardware and software solutions in each phase of the process.

The innovative SIRIUS industrial controls products can also make a major contribution to the energy efficiency of a plant. For more information, see http://www.siemens.com/sirius/energysaving.

The SIMATIC ET 200S motor starters make the following contributions to energy efficiency:

• Energy management
  Provision of energy data (current) via bus to higher-level systems by means of PROFIenergy (see High Feature motor starter)
• Avoidance of power consumption during dead times by disconnection by means of PROFIenergy (see High Feature motor starter)
• Current management
  Avoidance of current peaks, thus reducing the load on the grid and the mechanical system
• Reduction of control cabinet temperature rises
  Depending on technology, lower intrinsic power loss than speed-controlled drive systems, and therefore less cooling required (making a more compact design possible)
