ABB has further extended its InSite smart energy and load management system, through new plug-in expansion modules, accessories, and software updates to improve energy efficiency in both sub and final distribution to enable additional use cases.
The InSite energy management system gathers data from field devices through the compact SCU200 central control unit. Plug-in expansion modules can be attached to the control unit to adapt the InSite system to various applications and requirements in sub and final distribution.
It provides energy transparency, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance with real-time data accessed via a user-friendly InSite web server dashboard or third-party application. InSite energy management system can be scaled from large buildings to homes and enables users to optimize energy usage and achieve full load management, easily integrating electric vehicle (EV) chargers, photovoltaic (PV) systems, utility meters, and more.
New enhancements to the InSite system include a plug-in USB module that, among other functions, enables connection to utility meters and the software update. This provides a greater level of energy monitoring as well as blackout prevention through the ability to adjust or schedule consumption such as reducing or pausing EV charging sessions.
The new energy meter module can now measure higher currents while an added smart auxiliary and signaling contact can read the on and off status of devices for critical applications in hospitals or data centers so that action can be taken in the event of a trip.
Sebastiano Paganini, Global Product Line Manager for Energy Management Solutions at ABB Electrification's Smart Buildings division said, "As the InSite system expands, it becomes even more scalable and flexible. We have collaborated with customers to understand and develop additional modules and device integrations to meet their specific requirements. These include EV chargers and utility meters. A wider variety of loads can be monitored and controlled, improving load management capabilities and energy efficiency."
In addition, new smart accessories and a new series of power meters have been released and can be connected to InSite:
Third-party devices and appliances can be integrated for balancing energy availability and demand to enable customized prioritization of loads. For example, with the new EV charger integration functions, you can choose between time-optimized or energy-efficient charging, maximizing the use of self-generated electricity by prioritizing solar energy over grid power.
ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The company's solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize how things are manufactured, moved, powered and operated. Building on over 140 years of excellence, ABB's more than 105,000 employees are committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial transformation. www.abb.com
