As the largest community-owned utility in Florida and the eighth largest in the United States, JEA serves 360,000 customers in Jacksonville and parts of three adjacent counties. JEA has net generating capability of over 2,300 MW and owns and operates a combination of generation, transmission and distribution assets. Water and sewer systems are also part of its utility service offerings. 

As a part of efforts to maximize reliability across this extensive service area, JEA installed an automated energy analysis system. The system helps engineering personnel isolate and correct power quality issues and equipment risks throughout their network.

When Mike Krone considered a Square D® PowerLogic® power management system, he did so based on more beneficial features and fewer hidden costs. Once the system was installed he discovered unexpected added value that has already saved the University of Maryland, Baltimore $100,000 and will likely save much more.

When it comes to the United States Air Force Medical Service (AFMS), the mission always comes first. But that can be a challenge, particularly when the AFMS offers medical service to more than 2.63 million eligible beneficiaries, including active duty personnel, family members and retirees, at 62 campuses nationwide, including dozens of hospitals, medical centers and clinics.

Second only to crude oil, electrical power is typically one of the highest production costs and key elements in the refining business. In the extremely competitive petrochemical industry, products are produced 24 hours/day - 7 days/week and pumped directly into the market without an inventory buffer. Unscheduled interruptions or disturbances which affect process equipment can lead to millions of dollars in lost production and electrical equipment if not managed properly. Therefore, the continuous supply of high quality power is essential to survival in the refining industry. This paper describes one west coast Refinery's success in proactively managing 110MW of power consumption with their PowerLogic power monitoring and control system that paid for itself in less than one year after it was fully commissioned.

Installation drives energy conservation and results in significant overall energy consumption cost savings

Less than a year after global power and automation leader Schneider Electric launched a new Enterprise Energy Management (EEM) solution designed to facilitate smart monitoring of energy usage to drive conservation initiatives leading to cost savings, one end user, U.S. auto-maker Ford Motor Company, has reported positive results.

Just like every other industrial enterprise, the Hershey Company's candy manufacturing plant in Stuarts Draft, VA, needs electrical power. Unlike many other enterprises, plant management has taken a proactive approach to its power usage. In the late 1990s, due to a plant expansion, Hershey's corporate engineering arm decided to bring on a power monitoring and control system. Since then, the benefits of that decision,utilizing Square D Powerlogic products from Schneider Electric, have gone far beyond analysis of power usage and quality and a better understanding of how the electrical distribution system is functioning at any given time.

Many of the nation's larger campuses in operation today include their own water treatment plants and power plants. Supplying power to these campuses has become a huge endeavor. 

To meet demand at Kent State, the university recently built a new power plant and is updating its distribution systems on campus. Part of bringing the new Power Plant online, was updating the distribution system from a 5KV system to a 15KV system. 

The man charged with overseeing the campus' power is Tom Dunn, the Associate Director of Energy. He's been with Kent State for over 28 years. "By choice, we maintain a minimum import from the utility," says Dunn. "In the summer, it increases a little and we produce 80-85 percent of our own power and import 20 percent " but for the most part we're pretty self-sufficient." Even before the new Power Plant, a more robust power distribution system needed to be in place, and the need for an improved power monitoring system was identified.
