Spotlight on Solutions
Schneider Electric helps utilities
migrate to a smarter grid
IT and power distribution expertise fuels solution development
The world over, electricity networks are
becoming more complex and less stable.
To efficiently balance supply and demand,
the grid needs to become smarter — but this
can’t happen unless all the connected players
are smart-grid ready.
Utilities impact smart grid
Electric utilities play an important role in
connecting the key components of the smart
grid. These components include:
> Smart distribution
> Smart generation (bulk, distributed,
and renewable)
> Efficient homes (including electric vehicle
charging infrastructure)
> Demand management
> Efficient enterprises (buildings, industries
and data centres, and including electric
vehicle charging infrastructure)
Utilities are the glue that bind these components
together. That’s why Schneider Electric™ offers a
suite of services and solutions — from renewable
energy integration to distribution management
and cyber security — to help electric utilities
make the grid more efficient, flexible, and
secure than ever before.
BHEN-8Q9Q88_GB
Balancing the utilities’ supply
and demand equation
Amid rising energy demand, tightening
regulations, and increased pressure to
perform, the utilities’ mission remains the
same: To provide reliable, quality electricity to
end users in the most efficient, cost-effective
way possible.
In order to integrate more renewable energy
and provide demand-side management,
IT systems need to be integrated into the
distribution grid. Sound impossible? It’s not,
with Schneider Electric smart-grid solutions.
2
IT system integration into the smart grid is a key Schneider Electric added value
Operate your network easily and intelligently
Schneider Electric is smart-grid-ready,
providing the standardised, type-tested
automation, communications, and equipment
solutions that allow our electric utility
customers to:
> Increase continuity of service
> Lower the total cost of ownership
> Operate networks easily, intelligently, and securely.
‘
No one is better
positioned than
Schneider Electric to
address both supplyand-demand side
issues facing utilities
across the globe
today.’
—Scott Henneberry
VP of smart grid strategy
Schneider Electric
With the benefit of our extensive industry
experience, utilities can now maintain a stable
grid, satisfy their customers and balance
supply and demand over an increasingly
complex network. Finally, utilities can upgrade
their networks to meet the challenges of
today — as well as tomorrow.

Now an action plan
for reducing energy
consumption in plants
How Schneider Electric PlantStruxure architecture cuts
costs by automating energy management into processes
MEBE-8T8Q9F_GB
According to Frost & Sullivan, the energy-intensive industrial
sector faces significant challenges in managing energy use.
Rising energy costs, strict environmental regulations, supply
constraints, and corporate sustainability targets all add to the
complexity of energy management.
Awareness of energy consumption discrepancies help users
minimise waste. With Schneider Electric™ PlantStruxure™
architecture, a detailed view of how much energy is
consumed, and during which processes, helps identify where
the opportunities lie for energy savings. In addition identifying
what equipment or processes are underperforming, and
what types of operator behaviors are impacting energy
use are also important.
Let Schneider Electric
jumpstart your
energy plan...

New ways to drive business performance
and maximise enterprise resources
StruxureWare software delivers visibility and control across
organisational levels
TMCY-8RKQDE_GB
Today’s corporate executives are under
pressure. They need to drive business
performance while conserving enterprise
resources. But you can’t manage what you
can’t see. Rising energy costs, economic
uncertainty, and environmental challenges
only exacerbate the problem. Creating an
efficient enterprise is paramount, but how?
The answer: EcoStruxure™ integrated
hardware and software system architecture
from Schneider Electric™. EcoStruxure
architecture, incorporating StruxureWare™
software applications and suites, unifies
power, process, IT room, building, and
security systems, allowing users to see,
measure, and manage efficiency across
buildings, industrial plants, and data centres.

Unified software strategy key for enterprisewide performance
Maximising business performance remains
the primary challenge for today’s executives.
Sustainability issues, however, are gaining
significance, and best practices must
be incorporated into company strategy
and operations. Many CEOs cite the
complexity of implementation across
functions as the most significant barrier to
achieving an integrated, company-wide
sustainability strategy.
According to analyst group Frost & Sullivan,
‘The use of intelligent digital technology
to optimise the performance of energy
management systems offers the single biggest
opportunity today to improve energy efficiency
Intelligent Energy • www.schneider-electric.com/hk • 852-2579-9699
and reduce operating costs, while also making
a significant cut in overall carbon emissions’.
Intelligent digital
technology offers
the single biggest
opportunity today to
improve efficiency
and reduce costs
StruxureWare software is designed to work
across three distinct levels of an organisation
to maximise visibility and control of resources:
> Control level: Experts, on site or remotely,
can control process performance and
ensure business continuity in real time while
tracking energy consumption in a highly
ergonomic and secured environment.
> Operations level: Functional managers can
optimise operations, energy, and assets
through smart analytical tools, spanning
multiple sites if applicable.
> Enterprise level: Corporate executives can
drive their sustainability strategy efficiently,
choosing the best scenario to conserve
enterprise-wide resources.
Supporting these functions are StruxureWare
software applications. The applications are
available individually for businesses requiring a
targeted solution, or as part of an end market
suite for buildings, industry, or data centres.
[In addition to the three demand side suites, a
supply side suite will be introduced in 2013:
StruxureWare for Grid.] As business needs
evolve, users may incorporate additional
applications or an entire StruxureWare
software suite, quickly and easily.
Open platform, easy integration deliver
maximum flexibility and interoperability
StruxureWare software provides an open,
scalable platform, easy integration, and a
consistent user experience. One of the secrets
behind this flexibility and interoperability is
EcoStruxure Web Services. This common
‘language’ enables easy access to data and
fast, agile integration of information from any
system, platform, or outside service (such as
weather, maps, etc.). In any work environment,
users can receive data, create dashboards,
access alarms —even collaborate with outside
partners —without the need for additional
software or hardware.
Intelligent, integrated solutions for up to
30% savings, enterprise-wide
Sustainability is a new business imperative;
yet even as companies go green, they cannot
sacrifice performance or disregard financial
responsibilities. EcoStruxure architecture,
incorporating StruxureWare software and
supported by EcoStruxure Web Services,
delivers enhanced visibility and control of
enterprise resources across all levels of the
organisation, without sacrificing business
productivity or performance. The result: up to
30% savings on CapEx and OpEx — and a
healthier, more sustainable planet.
The StruxureWare >
platform unites
important power,
process, IT room,
building, and security
systems data via user
friendly dashboards.
Specialised functions, suites address
specific business challenges
StruxureWare software incorporates critical
elements (called functions) that a business
must consider in order to achieve and
maintain efficiency. The seven functions are:
Sustainability Resource Planning; Energy
Management; Business Operation; Asset
Management; Power Availability; Business
Process; and Security.

Intelligent security solutions help hospitals
provide a welcoming and secure environment
Integration increases operating efficiencies and reduces costs
As healthcare facilities grow larger and provide
round-the-clock care, they become more
vulnerable to a wide variety of costly security
threats. In fact, studies from around the
world show that violent incidents on hospital
property are on the rise.
Security technologies that are purchased,
administered, and maintained separately do
not fully optimise the hospital budget and
operational efficiency. Schneider Electric™
helps hospitals reduce security issues and
costs by integrating security solutions that
protect patients, staff, visitors, and assets.
Integration provides superior data
and lower costs
Real-time actionable data allows hospital
security personnel to respond more quickly to
potential threats before they become incidents.
For instance, if video analytics reveal a potential
disturbance in the Emergency Room (ER),
access control can lock designated doors
while security officers are dispatched.
Video surveillance and patient/staff/visitor
management systems can also be used to
clarify and resolve the issue.
MSCO-8TWK5J_GB
Because systems are integrated over a
common IP-based, intelligent IT infrastructure,
waste and redundancy are reduced, and
hospitals can save money in both project
investment and long-term operating costs.
The data aggregation enabled through
integration also provides a full, automatic
audit trail when necessary.
Security dashboards enhance productivity
Data from Schneider Electric healthcare security
solutions are viewable through a customisable
dashboard or remotely, and include:
Real-time actionable data allows hospital security personnel to respond more quickly to
potential threats before they become incidents.
> Access control: Smart cards can
be used as an employee’s picture
identification, access control card,
debit card, and staff management/
location card.
> Video surveillance: Cameras
provide a variety of clear views with
embedded processors so video can
be compressed and transmitted over
real-time IP networks. Video analytic
software provides specific and detailed
information and can help to reduce
false alarms.
The United Kingdom’s
National Health Service
reported that violence
costs their hospitals
about 100 000 GBP
per year in security,
time off for affected
staff, and legal costs.
> Patient, staff, and asset tracking
and management: Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) and Wi-Fi system
solutions, along with tagging technology
and management software, can identify,
track, and locate patients, staff, and
assets throughout the hospital campus.

is an intelligent home
energy management
system that can
be controlled locally
or remotely.
Five ways utilities help consumers
prepare for a lower energy future
Now, homeowners can influence the efficiency of the smart grid
Consumers represent a utility’s greatest
untapped resource for migration to the smart
grid. Utilities can empower consumers to
manage their own energy consumption. This
drives consumer behavioural changes that
result in favourable bottom lines for both
the utility and homeowner. Most consumers
want to go green and this helps to cushion
the impact of living in a world where energy
supplies are more constrained.
The five steps outlined below help utilities
aid consumers to positively impact energy
supplies and the bottom line.
BHEN-8MMKXU_GB
1. Educate: Utilities need to educate
consumers about the opportunities the
smart grid provides and how variable pricing
and smart meters will arm them with the
information they need to actively manage and
reduce their own energy costs.
2. Engage: Beyond the savings they can incur,
people like to feel they are personally making a
difference. Many consumers will be interested
in understanding the role they can play in
keeping the electric grid stable and adding
new energy sources onto the electric grid.
3. Empower: Consumers will feel empowered
by having control over their own energy usage
and output, as well as what they pay on a
monthly basis. Utilities can help them grasp the
idea that their home HVAC and other systems
can be programmed to control, monitor, and
manage their home’s energy usage.
Beyond the savings
they can accrue,
people like to feel
they are personally
making a difference.
4. Emphasise: Utilities need to emphasise
that the smart grid can help them respond
more efficiently to consumer power
requirements and can help them decrease
their use of carbon-based power plants.
5. Equip: Utilities must also provide the best
options and tools to make home energy
management possible. User-friendly smart
meters and home energy management
systems with the right amount of high-tech
features will be important to attracting the
early adopters and influencers.

Now, ports transform into examples
of sustainability
Enjoy profitable, environmentally-responsible power
with Schneider Electric shore connection solutions
The advent of global trade has fostered strong
economic growth through the commercial
exchange of goods. From a transportation
perspective, 90% of all commercial cargo
is carried via ship.
BHEN-8TUP78_GB
Increasing environmental awareness
Pollution created by ships, especially those
at berth is a concern. This apprehension is
warranted, as transport vessels are currently
responsible for 6% of sulfur oxide (SOx) and
15% of nitrogen oxide (NOx) output globally,
along with 2% of CO2 emissions. As global
shipping continues to increase, stricter
emissions and particulate output regulations
are being put in place to more tightly control
these types of pollution.
Low cost in-dock power generation
Docked ships can use one of two methods
to obtain electrical power — use onboard
auxiliary engines (which burn marine diesel
fuel) or a shore connection, which allows the
ship to receive power from the local grid. From
a financial and an environmental perspective,
connecting ship to shore power has been
proven to be the most efficient method.
Quick scalability and manageability
Shore connection serves all different types
of vessels that come to dock. Management
software is included with every installation,
which allows for monitoring of power usage
in real time. As a result, port authorities will be
able to bill customers based on actual usage.
Customers can also forecast and optimise
their energy consumption, all while they benefit
from new cost reduction opportunities such as
improved contract negotiations with the utilities
and selling negawatts back to the grid.
Comprehensive services to support
your project
Execution of your project goals is critical
to your installation’s successful operation.
Schneider Electric™ can offer complete
end‑to‑end services to make this process as
seamless as possible, from consulting and
engineering the system to commissioning,
training, and post-sales services.
Shore connection systems allow ships to save on fuel costs and enable
port operators to bill customers for the energy that they use.

Customer Story
An EVlink charging solution is helping the City of Fort Collins to support energy-efficient vehicles while intelligently managing EV power supply and consumption.
City of Fort Collins drives clean energy
innovation with EVlink charging stations
BHEN-8TQGZC_GB
Collaboration between city, utility, local business, university, and
Schneider Electric establishes electric vehicle charging best practices
The city of Fort Collins, Colorado, USA, has
partnered with Schneider Electric™ and
Fort Collins-based Spirae Inc., to roll out the
area’s first electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
As part of their innovative FortZED (Zero
Energy District) project, the city is phasing in
EVlink™ charging stations for installation at the
city’s fleet lot, select public parking facilities,
and private business parking lots.
16
‘Fort Collins owns and operates a progressive
municipal electric utility’, said the city’s
chief financial officer Mike Freeman. ‘Our
businesses and residents have a history
of taking the lead on energy conservation
and energy efficiency practices. Through
our partnership with Schneider Electric and
Spirae Inc., we are continuing that tradition
by rolling out the area’s first EV charging
Intelligent Energy • www.schneider-electric.com/hk • 852-2579-9699
stations’. Proposals to expand the vehicle
charging infrastructure include partnerships
with local car dealerships selling EVs.
The project is the result of collaboration
between the City of Fort Collins, the utility,
large area businesses, and Colorado State
University. The goal is to help all stakeholders
leverage multidisciplinary expertise in order
to address the challenge of building a reliable
EV charging infrastructure. The success of
the initiative in Fort Collins demonstrates
the viability of EV charging technology for
individuals, businesses, and government
agencies worldwide.
Ease of use and safety key benefits
Effective EV charging involves more than
simply supplying electrical current to a vehicle
battery. A comprehensive solution offers
safety, ease-of-use, and technology with the
ability to balance a vehicle’s power demand
with the utility’s ability to supply reliable
and cost-effective power. EVlink solutions
utilise advanced engineering and multi-level
networking capability to help meet these goals.
The EVlink solution extends from the device
layer to the business management layer.
Advanced software and communications
ensures that EVlink provides useful and
relevant information to both users and
suppliers. This includes data such as station
location and availability, business statistics
such as aggregate usage data and billing
figures, plus demand management and power
availability information.
30%
EVlink is an integrated solution, engineered
to provide customers like the City of Fort
Collins advantages in flexibility, adaptability,
and durability. Charging stations can feature
a choice of single-point, multi-point, and
quick‑charge terminals and are engineered to
deliver safe and secure access for EV owners.
Technology enables smart energy
consumption decisions
A major challenge with an EV charging
infrastructure is to effectively integrate
with the local utility such that charging
does not adversely affect the supply of
power. By anticipating smart grid advances,
the embedded intelligence and energy
management capabilities of an EVlink solution
can help utilities and EV owners to work
together to cope with the expected surge in
power demand. EVlink charging stations will
seamlessly and cost-effectively communicate
with a central management system to help
EV drivers and charging infrastructure owners
make smarter energy decisions.

Introducing the faces of Schneider Electric
Elena Perova*
18 years at
Schneider Electric
Marketing Director
Power and LifeSpace,
Schneider Electric
Russia
Starting her career at Schneider Electric™ over 18
years ago, Elena Perova has made a radical climb
from Commercial Assistant in St. Petersburg in 1994,
to Marketing Director of Power and LifeSpace in
Moscow today. Elena currently manages a team of
30, handling the development and implementation of
Schneider Electric’s Power and LifeSpace marketing
strategy in Russia.
Initially, Elena found her niche at Schneider Electric
working on the operational management of logistics
and customer services. ‘I really learned that the
partner and channel management was one of the
strongest areas of Schneider Electric’, explains Elena.
‘I came to understand the relationship we have with
our customers’.
After her award-winning work on the integration
of Wessen group into ZAO Schneider Electric,
Elena turned her sights on shifting her career to
marketing. ‘I had channel management in my
scope and I saw the added value of marketing’,
explains Elena. ‘I wanted to make that move’.
The dynamic nature of Schneider Electric
allowed her to do just that. ‘My managers
were very open to the move. They
coached me at different stages of my
career to really think about my development and
what I needed to keep it dynamic’.
For Elena, this has been the case throughout her
time at Schneider Electric. ‘Schneider Electric has a
different attitude to newcomers than other companies
in Russia’, Elena explains. ‘They care about postgraduates and their development. If you have the
capabilities, you’ll have the chance to develop yourself
and you’ll have diverse options here’.
Early in her Schneider Electric career, in 2001, Elena
participated in a six month training programme called
the FELIX Leadership & Management Programme
(now the LEAD Programme). ‘The programme gave
me a global perspective of all our Schneider Electric
business functions’, explained Elena. Beyond upping
her Schneider Electric business smarts, Elena credits
the programme with bettering her communication
skills and providing her with a global network within
Schneider Electric that remains to this day.
For now, Elena is where she wants to be: ‘In Power
and LifeSpace we focus on our partners. My greatest
satisfaction is seeing partners that understand what
we’re doing and move with us. We do our best to
support them, to maintain their loyalty, to work with
them through their evolutions, and ours’.
>> ‘My managers coached me
at different stages of my
career to really think about
my development’.
