Beijing, China, February 12, 2019 - Schneider Electric, a global leader in the digital transformation of energy efficiency management and automation, today announced that EcoStruxure™ Power, its second-generation intelligent distribution system architecture, has been certified to ISO energy management standards and is compliant with IEC cybersecurity standards. It can meet the needs of customers in the building, industrial and data center sectors for more simplified, secure and remote operation of medium and low voltage distribution. The latest version of the EcoStruxure Power 2.0 architecture includes many market-leading connectivity products, edge control software, and expert advisory services.
Philippe Delorme, Executive Vice President of Global Energy Efficiency Management at Schneider Electric, said: "Today, all businesses are focused on improving efficiency and equipment uptime, while reducing risks such as electrical fires by meeting the latest standards and regulations. As the most comprehensive iot and digital energy management architecture on the market, the EcoStruxure Power system is constantly being updated and iterated to provide customers with greater value from the underlying sensors to edge control to the cloud to further improve their energy performance."
More ISO certifications to achieve new heights in data management
The new EcoStruxure Power architecture is ISO50001, ISO50002 and ISO50006 certified, making it the first integrated digital energy management system to be internationally recognized. The EcoStruxure Power architecture, which complies with more ISO standards, will enable customers to use energy more efficiently and reduce associated costs through comprehensive energy data management.
Comply with IEC 62443-4-2 network security standards
Today, iot applications for power distribution and industrial control systems all need to comply with IEC cybersecurity standards. EcoStruxure Power's edge control solutions are also ahead of the market in this regard, being the first to pass the IEC 62443-4-2 safety safeguards. Based on this, Schneider Electric advocates a more holistic approach to security to protect, evaluate, monitor and manage customer systems.
Fire thermal monitoring applications
EcoStruxure Power's unique "Sensor-edge-cloud" fully integrated solution prevents electrical fires by continuously monitoring the temperature rise of medium and low voltage power systems. Compared with the traditional NIR thermal imaging method, this scheme is safer, more economical and more reliable. In addition, based on trend prediction and early warning capabilities, customers can be supported to specify preventive maintenance strategies.
Fast power event analysis
Using EcoStruxure Power's event analysis tools and its user-friendly interface, customers can find the root cause of an incident more easily and quickly. In addition, EcoStruxure Power can effectively help improve the operational reliability of the power system through more simple and in-depth analysis and integration of all equipment and related data.
