Eco-Mode: Benefits and Risks of Energy Saving Modes of UPS OperationSchneider Electric
Many newer UPS systems have an energy-saving operating mode known as "eco-mode" or by some other descriptor. Nevertheless, surveys show that virtually no data centers actually use this mode, because of the known or anticipated side-effects. Unfortunately, the marketing materials for these operating modes do not adequately explain the cost / benefit tradeoffs. This presentation shows that eco-mode provides a reduction of approximately 2% in data center energy consumption and explains the various limitations and concerns that arise from eco-mode use. Situations where these operating modes are recommended and contra-indicated are also described.
Basic Concepts for an Integrated Steel Process Control SystemSchneider Electric
For the past few years, the market was preoccupied with discussions about terminology such as: distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and the “newcomers” hybrid control systems (HCS) and programmable automation controllers (PAC), and how each should be applied to steel and metals processing applications. Steel manufacturing is an industry that requires specific approaches for control systems; it mixes process, machines, discrete control, several motors, high-availability systems and involves massive amounts of variables and architectures that requires flexible topologies. Better understand these technologies, myths and facts, and learn the real needs and trends for control systems in steel and metals industries, regardless of labels and acronyms.

The Challenges and Solutions to Integrate Multi-Facility/Buildings Disparate ...Schneider Electric
As presented at AIST 2014: This presentation describes how Multi-Facility SCADA and Historian solutions can be used within Steel Mill Plants as the single interface for monitoring and controlling all Steel Mill Facility Building Management Systems. This solution helps facility operations operate and maintain their buildings from a single environment without having to use multiple Building Management Systems, while maintaining all existing multi-vendor hardware by using software solutions for direct connectivity to the buildings control system, and without the need for hardware gateways. As a result, Steel Mill Plant Facility Operations see increased operating expenses and more maintenance time spent on maintaining, training and operating these disparate management systems.
Funding Infrastructure Investments with Guaranteed PerformanceSchneider Electric
Municipalities are dealing with numerous financial constraints, and trying to improve or expand systems is often trumped by maintaining deteriorating assets. Discover the potential benefits of Performance Contracting (PC). PC is an alternate delivery method to the traditional CIP process for the implementation of operational cost saving and energy saving projects. While the PC process has been used extensively in municipal buildings for decades -- primarily for HVAC and lighting improvements -- it has only recently begun to be used by water and wastewater utilities for process-centric improvements to treatment plants, pump/lift stations and other assets.
Distributech 2015 taking interoperability to the next levelSchneider Electric
Riel Substation is Manitoba Hydro’s newest DC Converter Station as well as a major 230/500kV transmission station. Riel covers approximately 40 hectares making it physically one of the largest
substations in North America. The project modifies the existing 500kV international transmission line running from Winnipeg, CA to Minnesota.
This paper presents the analysis of the technical issues encountered during project execution such as engineering design, multivendor integration, GOOSE implementation, network infrastructure and cyber security. It covers also the organizational issues such as customer involvement and standardization, among others, lessons learned and recommendations for future implementations.
This is one of the first complete protection and control automation solution using redundant IEC61850. The technology being implemented within Riel Station is not only one of the largest Digital Control Systems on the continent, but is one of the premier systems in the world today.
As a partner of the Riel initiative, Schneider Electric has completed the engineering, design and manufacturing of protection and control panels for the entire substation using state of the art technologies including but not limited to full redundant system, NERC CIP cyber security compliance, multivendor interoperability and reliability as a top priority with 6 independent fiber optic networks, redundant protections, HMI and networks.
The implemented design permits a cost effective solution using the Ethernet Redundant Networks to communicate with others devices and non-hardwire traditional solution. The protection scheme solution is based on IEC61850, providing the protection functions and logics inside the different relays to
share and capture information required protecting the electrical network and facilitating the monitoring from HMI. By the time this paper will be presented at DTECH 2015, the 230 kV portion of the project will have been commissioned and energized.
More Electric:
Our world is becoming More Electric. Almost everything we interact with today is either already electric or becoming electric. Think about it. From the time you start your day in the morning to the time you finish your day – your home, your car, your work, your devices, your entertainment – almost everything is electric. Imagine the energy needed to power this. Electricity consumption will increase by 80% in next 25 years
More Connected: Our lives are also becoming more connected. The Internet has already transformed the way we live, work and play. Now the Connected Things is going to take this to a brand new level. 50 billion things connected in the next 5 years.
More Distributed: With such a widespread electrification and connectivity, energy models need rethinking as well. Which is why the generation of power needs to be closer to users. Distributed Energy is rapidly evolving globally. This is positive energy – renewable. In 2014 , Renewables overtook fossil fuels in investment value, with $295bn invested in renewables compared to $289bn invested in fossil fuels. And it is getting cheaper to do this.
More Efficient: When our world is more electric, more connected and more distributed, new opportunities emerge and allows us to tap into even more efficiency – in industrial processes, in the energy value chain, in buildings, in transportation, in the global supply chain and even in the comfort and peace-of-mind of our homes.
More and more, as utilities face decreasing margin between system load and system capacity, they are in need of innovative smart grid solutions that can help them effectively disperse and store energy and manage load to meet resource requirements. Many are incorporating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to help fill the gap while, at the same time, meet requirements for reduced emissions and energy independence; these utilities will require the capability to accurately forecast and control DER contribution to the network, to assure security and grid reliability.
Advanced smart grid software designed to support DER management and optimize grid operations and planning works with a real-time network model, based on an accurate geodatabase and incorporating data from operational systems such as a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and outage management system (OMS). Along with real-time visualization and monitoring of network status, this Advanced Distribution Management System – ADMS – provides a host of analytical tools that recommend the most optimal device operations, or optionally automate device operations, to maximize network efficiency and reliability. For example, the utility can apply Volt/VAR control to reduce feeder voltage automatically with no effect on the consumer. Detailed load profiling and load forecasting based on integrated weather feeds yield network load forecasting for effective renewables integration. Network simulation helps forecast medium-term and long-term load and supports effective development and planning.
ADMS functionality and tools are demonstrating that utilities can effectively manage demand without building large-scale generation.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

To sustain our own (rising) energy demand, and
to bring clean, reliable energy to those who are
still going without, we need to bring simplified,
innovative solutions to customers at all levels
of energy consumption and conservation.
Wind energy is one technology that can
help us achieve this goal — it is efficient,
produces no greenhouse gas emissions,
and is becoming increasingly popular as
a renewable energy source.
So, why is wind power not a greater force in
the energy market than it is today? Well, for one,
it is currently an expensive venture, requiring
significant capital expenses at the outset. This
makes the efficiency and performance of each

Wind Turbine Solution | Main Power Circuit
Improving your energy harvest
through maximum efficiency
Once your generator has produced electricity,
you want to hold on to as much of that
energy as possible. That’s why it’s so
important that your main power circuit be
reliable, efficient, and designed in accordance
with the relevant standards.
Our products — including the contactor and the
LV circuit breaker — have been designed together
to reach a Type 2 coordination, meaning that if
an overvoltage occurs, one piece of damaged
hardware won’t harm another. And, while
converters are typically a place where energy is
lost, our Xantrex converter —designed specifically
for the wind industry — is very efficient.
But our wind-specific equipment doesn’t stop
there. Our DVCAS switchgears are designed
to fit through doors as small as 600 mm wide,
and can be installed in wind turbines up to
2000 m above sea level. Of course they comply
with all the relevant standards (IEC and UL),
and also meet all the needs of networks up to
36 kV (IEC) / 38 kV (UL).
In addition, our main power circuit solution
will help you:
Achieve better service continuity
and heightened safety with integrated
switchgears and transformer substations.
Lower both your capital and operating
expenses by up to 25 percent through
power factor correction/harmonic mitigation.
Improve your business performance by
reducing downtime and increasing the
lifetime of your equipment.
Setting a new standard for
wind power with Xantrex converters
With more than 20 years of experience in
the wind industry, Xantrex has established
its name as a reliable partner in any wind
project. End-to-end maintenance, support,
and rapid response time have only added
to that reputation.
But the converters themselves are the real
story. Each Xantrex wind power converter
is custom-designed to provide optimum
performance with your specific generator
and is built using proven modular assemblies.
Additionally, to meet stringent utility grid code
requirements worldwide, Xantrex converters
are available with patented technology that
keeps wind turbines connected to the grid,
despite large voltage or frequency variations.
This same technology also reduces torque
stress on turbine gearboxes and drive shafts.
It’s this kind of innovation that has made
Xantrex such a dominant force in the wind
power industry, serving wind turbines from
the 10 kW up to the 5 MW power classes.
Wind-specific products provide
added reliability for your main power circuit.

Ensure an optimized
operating environment
Efficiency alone can be the difference
between a successful wind turbine and one
that fails to produce. So, why would you
choose anything but the most efficient
solution for your installation?
Schneider Electric fully automates the
wind turbine, using such products as
the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and
a highly-reliable UPS. Together, they form a
dynamic and rugged system which has very
low power consumption, and can be easily
modified or upgraded.
As such, the PLC functions as the “brain” of
the wind turbine, while the UPS provides the
backup power to keep the PLC working — even
when no wind energy is being collected. And
with this integrated system, you also enable:
The ability to gracefully shut down the
wind turbine, distribution and/or collection
monitoring and control systems
The capturing and storing of any information
related to the state or failure of the wind
power system when an outage occurs
Heavy reduction in maintenance
costs, longer mean time between
failure, and simplification of the
troubleshooting process
Enhanced safety for the wind turbine, the
power grid, and any personnel involved
With complete control of the turbine, you finally
get the kind of compact, high-performance
solution that only comes from a provider with
decades of expertise in automation. Finally, you
can optimize your efficiency to get the results
you’ve been looking for.

Protect your turbines;
connect your wind farm
Optimize equipment safety
and availability through MV Collection
When dealing with more than just a single
turbine, harvested energy must be collected
before it’s brought to the power station.
To do this as safely and efficiency as possible,
wind farm operators need a system for MV
Collection. This includes such equipment as
transformers, switchgears, and kiosks to
name a few.
But what puts Schneider Electric’s solutions
above the competition is the fact that all
these products have been designed to work
together, ensuring electrical, mechanical,
and communication compatibility. And, each
aspect of the solution contributes to the overall
productivity of the wind farm in its own right:
SF6 insulated switchgears that ensure
the electrical installation is optimized,
has improved performance and better
service continuity.
Wind-dedicated transformers that are
highly efficient and proven reliable
against a variety of environmental hazards.
Customized, prefabricated substations
that improve network efficiency and
maximize electricity production.
A complete electrical installation that
allows you to better manage your
maintenance costs.
Also, however, the transformer and the
switchgears have been specifically tailored
to wind farm constraints: while all are especially
compact, the switchgears, for instance, are
purposely designed to be a mere 60 cm,
allowing them to pass through the door of
a wind turbine.
And if you want to ensure that your project
goes smoothly, look no further than our
own Projects and Engineering Centre.
There, we bring more than 50 years of
experience to the table, helping you
develop innovative value proposals using
our cutting edge expertise. To learn more

Achieving improved reliability
and efficiency at once
A solution to connect you to the grid
and extend the life of your equipment
Connecting to the power grid brings with
it a unique set of challenges: surges, dips,
distortions, and, of course, stringent grid code
requirements. Even small shifts of power flows
can trip circuit breakers, sending larger loads
onto neighbouring lines and causing chain
reaction failures.
For those not from electrical backgrounds,
solving these problems can be a daunting
proposition. And yet, bringing clean,
reliable power to your installation is
absolutely necessary.
Fortunately, being the global specialist in
energy management, we at Schneider Electric
have the solution — the solution to relieve
that grid-induced anxiety, bring you the
optimized reliability you need, and
guarantee 99.5 percent availability.
The solution begins with SF6 insulated
metal-enclosed switchgear, which is
designed to ensure maximum safety in
a reduced-space environment. Its design
also ensures that it is unaffected by the
environment, enabling a superior continuity
of service.
In terms of grid code requirements, we design
and provide everything you need to comply,
from fixed LV and MV power factor solutions
to real-time compensation systems. These
systems, which include harmonic mitigation,
provide several benefits that can be translated
directly into financial savings for both the
investor and the user:
Up to 25 percent reduction is commonly
achievable in both capital and
operational expenses
Significant reduction in downtime
Extended equipment lifetime
Minimized system losses
and demand power
Reduced overloading on the electrical
system, thereby releasing useable capacity
All this adds up to improved competitiveness
of your business. And, since such measures
are now all but essential for operating a safe
and successful installation, the time has never
been better to take these precautions against
an unreliable grid.
Bringing clean, reliable power to your
installation is absolutely necessary.

Centralized supervision
for all your wind farm needs
Lower expenses and measure efficiency
with real-time remote management
Wind farms are complex installations —
and relatively inaccessible — installations to
operate, especially when more than one site
is involved. So when your bottom line depends
on your ability to accurately manage the overall
health and productivity of those turbines, you
need more than educated guesswork.
You need a comprehensive system for
wind farm supervision.
The good news: real-time power monitoring
and management is now a reality. Our
centralized supervision solution ensures the
profitability of a wind power plant, enabling:
Optimized electricity production
and maintenance cost
Maximized return on investment
Reduced reaction time in case of
fault on a site
Lowered operational expenses
Using top-of-the-line SCADA host devices,
you’ll command a SCADA master station suitable
for a wide range of remote control, monitoring,
and management applications with built-in wind-
farm knowledge. Armed with this powerful tool,
you’ll quickly and easily be able to:
Measure the energy flowing to the grid,
in terms of both quantity and quality
Measure both wind farm and
wind turbine efficiency
View the electrical to ensure grid
code compliance
See the sequence of events and the
FTR to analyse and fix a PQ problem
Obtain the PQ reporting data for IEC50160
compliance reporting at the intertie point
and IEC61400-21 at the wind turbine level
Monitor wind farms at various sites in
real-time, regardless of the wind turbine
manufacturer
Of course, these capabilities are just the
beginning. The Schneider Electric supervision
solution gives you a single view for all your
wind farm needs, including energy metering
that boasts the highest accuracy in the
industry. And, with our extensive array of
consultancy options and services, you can
rest assured that you have a partner for your
project’s entire life cycle.
With this kind of partnership and innovation,
surely, the sky is the limit.
