iVision_max - PMS™ Screenshot

A dynamic Power Management System (PMS), on iVision_max platform is an essential, control for cost effective plant operation, especially in large plants where annual energy costs sum up to Lacs of Rupees. Efficiency in energy utilization throughout the plant can lower production costs significantly, reduce air emissions from fuel combustion, help avoid penalty due to peak demand and help maintain continuous and reliable plant operation, improve power quality, and increase profitability. Manufacturers are under intense pressure to reduce operating costs. For some, energy cost constitute as much as 20-30 percent of their total operating costs, and even small improvement can have a dramatic impact on their bottom line.

iVision_max - PMS™ enables centralized control & operation from a single point. It incorporates all the basic features available in a high-end electrical SCADA system. The basic features are following:

-Real time monitoring and processing of data and status of various field equipments (Incomers, outgoing
feeders, transformer feeders, generators, bus couplers etc.)
-Smooth control of various field equipments
-Initiation of generator synchronization with followed by automatic switching on line
-Maximum demand control
-Load shedding
-Load sharing between generators
-Power quality monitoring
-Event and alarm logging
-Alarm processing, filtering ,commenting and acknowledgement
-Data archiving management for better storage " Real-time and historical trending
-Configurable reporting

In addition to basic features it includes advanced features to optimize energy utilization and cost effective plant operation. The advanced features are following:
-Energy Accounting
-Economic Dispatch
-Load Forecasting
-Load Profiling
-Asset Management

iVision_max - PMS™ enables Data Monitoring, Electrical Control and Load Management in a plant. Deployed hardware and iVision_max - PMS™ enable clear overview of the electrical network in the plant and provide means for monitoring and managing Load. Tight integration of all subsystems ensures system stability and helps avoid system collapse.

iVision_max - PMS™ in essence, is designed to be hierarchical, distributed, and modular based on internationally recognized "open" standards. The Redundant architecture used at the Central Control, incorporates computer and LAN redundancy. Failures at any levels of the system do not impact other levels. Open architecture allows easy upgrading to new technology, as it becomes available.
