Energy management is not a new idea, but often it’s not given the priority it needs or deserves.  One significant reason is that it can be very difficult to understand when and where it’s being used.  Before you can save it, you first need to understand how it is being used.

We are told that motors use 70% of the electricity consumed by European industry and significant saving are achieved by installing variable speed drives, but is that true in your case, and do you really know where the power goes?

In many plants the main and sub-main distribution was installed years ago and substations added as and when required.  The result is that a production line or office can be supplied from multiple locations making the identification and monitoring of energy usage very complex.

In order to overcome this Mitsubishi Electric’s Energy Control Pack (ECP) collects live data from all points of energy consumption for analysis by multiple levels of management systems.

The Energy Control Pack is based on a series of proven control modules that can be selected, configured and scaled to suit any given application. It brings together best in class hardware, software and documentation for out-of-the-box Energy Management.

The Energy Control Pack is fully field-tested, which means installation and commissioning can be achieved on a right first time basis. At initial start-up, it is likely to be 80 % optimised for the host application; this can easily be enhanced to a 100 % perfect fit during the straightforward commissioning process.

The ECP is optimised for easy integration into new or existing applications: it can be expanded and updated to support a site throughout its operating life.
