>> This is Lee. He's the plant manager of this factory. The solar panels Lee had
installed help him produce energy. It's like he has his very own micro-grid
producing and using energy on site, or even selling it back to the grid. He knows
there's a lot this micro-grid can do for him, but he wonders: "How can I make sure I
use as much renewable energy as possible?" "When should I use my own
energy?" "When should I feed it back to the grid?" "And if there's a black out, what
should I keep running, and what should I shut off?"
If only there was a solution that could plan this all for him. Good news, Lee -- there
is! The Energy Prosumer solution from Schneider Electric gives Lee a smart
platform, intelligent hardware, and an electrical energy storage system which
allows him to manage his building like a microgrid. This solution helps store the
renewable energy he generates so he can use more of it at the best possible
times. Like when energy prices are high, or if the smart grid wants to pay him to
reduce his load, or even increase his consumption when energy prices are low.
And if there's a blackout, the settings Lee preset in the Prosumer solution
automatically switch him from utility power to his own storage system, preconfigured
to power only the loads that Lee defined as most critical. Making sure Lee has
energy even when the sun isn't shining. Pretty bright, Lee!
