Schneider Electric launches EcoStruxure Microgrid Solution in Canada
January 27, 2021
Schneider Electric recently announced its EcoStruxure Microgrid Solution for Small & Medium Buildings is now available in Canada. The all-in-one solution provides easy integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) across facilities–including commercial and industrial buildings, healthcare facilities and educational institutions –providing organizations with greater energy resiliency, reduced energy costs and a lower carbon footprint.
“The energy landscape is undergoing amassive transformation, and the adoption of renewable energy plays a critical role in helping us offset dependency on the traditional grid and reduce our carbon emissions,” said Pratap Revuru, Director of Microgrid Solutions and Strategic Partnerships, Schneider Electric. “It’s encouraging to see businesses adopt distributed energy resources, but the complexity of these systems can be overwhelming. Our EcoStruxure Microgrid Solution is simple to install and cost-effective, so businesses can focus on getting themostout of their energy management system."
Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Microgrid Solution was designed to help organizations easily manage the increased complexity of grids that has accompanied the rise in DERs. Notable features include:
- - Grid Connection Management: Provides real-time monitoring of the grid status and manages whether it’s grid-connected oroperatesin island-mode to ensure continuity of business operations
- - Off GridMode Preparation: Collects incoming weather information and calculates the probability of a storm to help prepare the energy management system for an island event.
- - Demand Charge Reduction: Provides control of DERs to reduce site power consumption during peak periodsand determineswhen to consume, produce, or store energy, to help reduce costs.
Featuring an intuitive web-based EcoStruxure Microgrid Build (EMB) that facilitates a one-click deployment of the solution, EcoStruxure Microgrid Solution is anoptimal choice for small and medium businesses that want tooptimize their energy usage. As facilities across Canada continue to invest in renewable energy sources and commit to new sustainability targets, EcoStruxure Microgrid Solution equips these facilities with greater energy resiliency and renewable integration–all with minimal effort required from the user.

RFID: Noncontact identification based on radio waves is considered a versatile technology and one of the keys to production environments based on the Industry 4.0 principle. The range of applications is by no means limited to discrete manufacturing—RFID is also becoming increasingly popular in process plants due to the ever more extensive requirements for marking product and work equipment. 
The MP8000 is an advanced motor protection electronic overload relay that is fully programmable via Bluetooth* using an iPhone* or Android* smartphone or tablet with the Littelfuse App. It is easy to use and arc-flash safety is increased because the app allows settings to be modified and real-time operational information viewed. Viewing operational information and faults on the app does not require the user to open the control panel. 
Siemens' energy infrastructure is undergoing a radical transformation. An influx of excess energy from renewable sources like wind and solar is causing fluctuations in energy supply and putting grid stability at risk. Energy storage is a key component to balance out supply and demand and absorb the fluctuations. Today, lithium-ion battery storage systems are the most common and effective type and, as a result, installations are growing fast.
