Master your power requirements
we support you with our systems
High energy volumes, countless consumers, maximum availability around the clock? No matter how busy
things are in your power distribution system, our integrated products and systems for low-voltage power dis-
tribution systems make you the sovereign master of energy  in every situation, over the entire life cycle of
your power distribution systems. Thanks to these integrated and powerful components, you will be able to re-
duce your investment costs and risks considerably. You will benefit from the modularity and intelligence of the
components throughout the entire period of use, so that you will always keep a reign on your operating costs 
at the highest possible level of system availability. End-to-end solutions for power distribution, ranging from
medium-voltage systems to wall outlets, are the most crucial components of the  Totally Integrated Power
concept offered by Siemens. Intelligent components and matching software modules makes inter-
facing to industrial and building automation systems as efficient as can be, thus offering substan-
tial savings potential on integration costs. Don t worry about your power distribution, we ll support you
systematically  with:
" SIMATIC powercontrol for optimal power management
" SIVACON power distribution boards and Motor Control Centers
" SIVACON busbar systems
" SENTRON switching and protection devices

Act, instead of accepting the situation 
keep a reign on your energy costs despite increasing prices
In times of high competition, it is imperative to
use existing resources most efficiently in order to
lower operating costs. Increasing energy prices
in recent years has resulted in higher operating
costs, which may even put your competitiveness
at risk. And an end of these price increases is not
in sight. This puts in-plant energy efficiency in-
creasingly in the focal point. Options for boosting
energy efficiency are available  in every plant.
It is high time to stand up to these energy prices.

Reduce operating costs,
increase plant availability
Energy costs must be reduced. But where s the leverage? Which measures
promise the greatest potential? How do you assess and document their
effect after implementation?
The right answer to all these questions is our standardized and modular
power management software  SIMATIC powercontrol. It makes all energy
flows transparent  from the incoming supply to the consumer equipment.
Always aiming at finding the best leverage for the most cost-effective plant
operation.
Benchmarking is an important factor in this context. An indispensable
prerequisite for this is the allocation of power consumption and cost to
the cost center structure in your company. SIMATIC powercost, an add-on
module of our SIMATIC powercontrol software, helps you determine energy
consumption and resulting costs over a definable period of time.
Energy data is an important prerequisite for cutting operating costs,
but it is equally important for increasing plant availability. Unusual
operating states are detected early and thereby can also be corrected at
an early stage.

The result: optimized plant operation,
optimized energy purchase contracts
and an improved cost benchmark.
