U.S. Air Force Base Addresses Unique Needs with Advanced Power Management

The power management needs of Edwards Air Force Base are not ordinary. Located in the Mojave Desert, the massive campus covers 301,000 acres, or roughly 470 square miles

 

Edwards receives high voltage power of 115kV from the utility and distributes it to its buildings and tenants, such as NASA. In 2003, a PowerLogic® power monitoring system from Schneider Electric was installed to help monitor and manage the high voltage electrical distribution system and usage within its facilities. The PowerLogic® system, with System Manager™ software (SMS), receives, records and analyzes data provided by more than 100 Square D® brand power meters and circuit monitors throughout the base.
